This research aims to answer to better understand the decision-making process of eating a heart healthy diet and extent of physical activity. Also, are these decisions influenced by whether the subject lives in a rural or urban setting. The research proposal was the cultural issues effected participants decision making as well as place of residence. This research used a previous qualitative research design in which 42 cardiac patients (21 urban, and 21 rural) were interviewed about their diet and physical activity. The researchers then designed a model for interviewing regarding the decision-making process. The combination model was then given and tested with 647 cardiac patients (327 urban and 320 rural) from Canada. The results were based on 93.5% accuracy for diet and 97.5 % accuracy with physical activity. Results indicated that decision-making was less about place of residence and more about perception of control over health including time, effort, or competing priorities, receipt of appropriate clear information, and appeal of the activity.
A three-staged, multi-methods approach was used to develop and analyze the descriptive decision making model that patients use in making decisions regarding their cardiac lifestyle. A cross-sectional survey was used to interview patients one year post-cardiac catherization. These interviews were performed via telephone. A three stage decision tree model was then used to analyze the information offered. The stages were as follows: 1. Factors that were influential in decision making. 2. If and where failure had occurred for patients. 3. Did patients consistently, sometimes, or not at all engage in physical activity and a heart healthy diet. Results were then analyzed using statistical analysis.
Information was gathered from a previous series of qualitative interviews conducted with 42 cardiac patients (21 rural, 21 urban). Based on the infor.

P-(Problem) – elderly patients aged above 50 years admitted in hospital and having shown blood pressure disease signs. Patients not included in the research were pregnant women.
I-(Intervention) – the patients who are subject in this research will be subjected to therapeutic routine concerning hypertension. The blood pressure of all the patients was tested after administering hypertension medicine to the subjects. The resultant changes were recorded every day to determine the reaction and thus the group will make a conclusion.
C-(Comparison) – institutionalized quality methods will be regulated for hypertension and subjected to the group. The comparison between the groups will be done towards the end of the month in the group.

The nursing practice portion should be in paragraph form.
PICOT Statement
Elderly patients under hypertension medication together with pharmacological interventions can be maintained in hospitals to improve their blood pressure and with understanding the background and culture of the patients will be of great help in dealing with hypertension. Comment by Doreen Farley: Letzy, I know that this is not the PICOT question that we decided on. What happened to the PICOT?
In patients with hypertension, does the use of meditation along with pharmacological interventions compared to medications alone improve blood pressure? This was the PICOT from out last discussion on 6-1-18
This paper is supposed to be double space only. I am not sure why there is so much space in between concepts.

What happens after treatment? A
systematic review of relapse, remission, and
recovery in anorexia nervosa

Abstract
Background: Relapse after treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) is a significant clinical problem. Given the level of
chronicity, morbidity, and mortality experienced by this population, it is imperative to understand the driving forces
behind apparently high relapse rates. However, there is a lack of consensus in the field on an operational definition
of relapse, which hinders precise and reliable estimates of the severity of this issue. The primary goal of this paper
was to review prior studies of AN addressing definitions of relapse, as well as relapse rates.
Methods: Data sources included PubMed and PsychINFO through March 19th, 2016. A systematic review was
performed following the PRISMA guidelines. A total of (N = 27) peer-reviewed English language studies addressing
relapse, remission, and recovery in AN were included.
Results: Definitions of relapse in AN as well as definitions of remission or recovery, on which relapse is predicated,
varied substantially in the literature. Reported relapse rates ranged between 9 and 52%, and tended to increase
with increasing duration of follow-up. There was consensus that risk for relapse in persons with AN is especially
high within the first year following treatment.
Discussion: Standardized definitions of relapse, as well as remission and recovery, are needed in AN to accelerate
clinical and research progress. This should improve the ability of future longitudinal studies to identify clinical,
demographic, and biological characteristics in AN that predict relapse versus resilience, and to comparatively
evaluate relapse prevention strategies. We propose standardized criteria for relapse, remission, and recovery, for
further consideration.

Plain English Summary
Relapse occurs frequently in individuals receiving treat-
ment for anorexia nervosa. However, there is no com-
mon agreement on how to define relapse. In this study,
we reviewed previous studies of relapse, remission, and
recovery following treatment for anorexia nervosa. We
found that there were many different definitions for
these terms, which resulted in different estimates of re-
lapse rate. To understand what drives relapse it is
important to have a consistent definition across studies.
To help this discussion we propose common criteria for
relapse, remission, and recovery from anorexia nervosa.
Background
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious psychiatric illness
with amongst the highest mortality rates of any mental
disorder—up to 18% in long-term follow-up studies [1–

Meta-Analysis: Protein and Energy Supplementation in Older People Anne C. Milne, MSc; Alison Avenell, MD; and Jan Potter, MBChB Background: Protein and energy undernutrition is common in older people, and further deterioration may occur during illness. Purpose: To assess whether oral protein and energy supplementa tion improves clinical and
nutritional outcomes for older people in the hospital, in an institution, or in the community. Data Sources: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CEN TRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE,
HealthStar, CINAHL, BIOSIS, and CAB abstracts. The authors included English- and non-English-language studies and hand-searched journals, contacted manufacturers, and sought information from trialists. The date of the most recent search of CENTRAL and MEDLINE is June 2005. Study Selection: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled tri als of oral protein and energy
supplementation compared with placebo or control treatment in older people. Data Extraction: Two reviewers independently assessed trials for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed trial quality. Differences were resolved by consensus. Data Synthesis: Fifty-five trials were included (n = 9187 randomly tions (Peto odds ratio, 0.72 [95% Cl, 0.53 to 0.97]) and reduced mortality (Peto odds ratio, 0.66 [CI, 0.49 to 0.90]) for those un dernourished at baseline. Few studies reported evidence that suggested any change in mortality, morbidity, or function for those given supplements at home. Ten trials reported gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with oral supplements. Limitations: The quality of most studies, as reported, was poor, particularly for concealment of allocation and blinding of outcome assessors. Many studies were too small or the follow-up time was too short to detect a statistically significant change in clinical out come. The clinical results are dominated by 1 very large recent trial in patients with stroke. Although this was a high-quality trial, few participants were undernourished at baseline. Conclusions: Oral nutritional supplements can improve nutritional status and seem to reduce mortality and complications for under nourished elderly patients in the hospital. Current evidence does not support routine supplementation for older people at home or for well-nourished older patients in any setting. assigned participants).

Abstract. Patients who are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly attempt to modify their
dietary intake after receiving nutrition care from primary health professionals. Yet, adherence to dietary recommendations
is rarely sustained and factors influencing adherence are poorly understood. This study exploredT2DMpatients’ experiences
of dietary change and their views on how primary health professionals can best support long-term maintenance of dietary
change.Apurposive sample of 10 individuals recently diagnosedwithT2DMparticipated in three individual semi-structured
qualitative telephone interviews: at baseline, then at 3 and 6 months after recruitment. Interview questions were modified
from the initial interview inorder to investigate emergingfindings.A two-step data analysis process occurred throughcontent
analysis of individual interviews andmeta-synthesis of findings over time. Participants initiallymadewide-ranging attempts
to improve dietary behaviours, butmost experienced negative emotions from the restraint required tomaintain a healthy diet.
Participants felt confused by the conflicting advice received from health professionals and other sources such as friends,
family, internet and diabetes organisations. Participants frequently reported feeling rushed and not heard in consultations,
resulting in limited ongoing engagement with primary healthcare services. These findings suggest that there is opportunity
for primary health professionals to enhance the dietary support provided to patients by: acknowledging the challenges of
sustained improvements in dietary intake; open communication; and investing in patient relationships through more
patient-focussed consultations.

Introduction
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a lifestyle-related chronic
disease and leading cause of morbidity andmortality in Australia
(Australian Institute of Health andWelfare 2007). Over 5%of the
Australian population has been diagnosed with T2DM, and an
additional 0.9% is predicted to be diagnosed annually (Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2012). T2DM is typically diagnosed
and managed in the primary healthcare setting, and patients with
T2DM receive health care from a variety of primary health
professionals (Diabetes Australia 2012). Impor ...

introduction
Clinical studies are purposed to help physicians and other interested parties to make health improvements on how issues are handles.
The United States currently faces a large number of health issues.
Obesity is among the common health issues that the country is facing, which requires intervention.
The country is currently the leading place with the largest number of people with this condition (Booth, Charlton, & Gulliford, 2016).
Obesity has been an issues of concern to many in the United States, mainly because the country is the leading nation in the world with the largest population of obese individuals.
The need to implement effectiveness and ensure that people regain their health is essential for the health industry of the country.
This presentation aims to present a research study on this issue and it provide recommendation of effective intervention measures that should be taken to address the issue.
2
Over view of the study
Obesity is currently affecting more than 37.9 percent of all the adults in the United States.
Annually, the government spends about 147 million dollars to address issues related to obesity only.
With this issue being extremely important, the study aims to obtain more information about the issue in the country.
The study then aims to use the findings that will be obtained to make recommendations of appropriate intervention strategies.
Statistical evidence clarify that obesity is a significant problem in the United States. Through this condition, more than 37.9 percent of the United States feel adverse negative effects, and are considered less healthy compared to other people.
This study has its main purpose being to make sure that effective strategies have been developed through which the issue will become less significant in terms of effect and money.

Clinical question definition (PICOT)
PICOT is a research explanation model which stands for people/population, intervention, comparison, outcome and time.
The population that is aimed to benefit from this study is both the young, the youths and the old who can obtain the condition of obesity (Mehta, Elo, Aromaa, & Koskinen, 2017).
The study facts and results are however based on data collected from people between the age of 20 and 30 years
The population under focus on this study is thus youths of between 20 and 30 years of age. This sample population was mainly chosen because it constitutes of the largest population of obese people in the country.
The study however aims at making sure that the identified research study respondents are randomly obtained from different areas and people living in different life styles.

Introduction/Key Points
Topic and Question
Topic five: Interventions to improve additional nutritional status: What type of interventions improve adherence to recommendations on nutritional intake?
Define the Topic and Question
This topic question is defined by interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults. By introducing these interventions earlier, it will be possible to prevent people from being affected by chronic diseases.
Overview/Significance of the Problem
The acceptance and implementation of a healthy diet has been recognized as the foundation for managing, preventing, and fighting chronic diseases. However, the inability to be dynamic and diversify one’s life diet can lead to significant problems. It is also vital that people know that people acknowledge the importance of obeying dietary counsel since one’s adherence level can determine the efficiency of dietary treatment. The ability of one to diversify his diet reduces the risk of developing food allergy and intolerance (Ball et al., 2016). Additionally, the lack of education has been mostly associated with a poor quality and less diversified diet in people with diabetes (Tiew, Chan, Lye & Loke, 2014). It is, therefore, evident how the ability to diversify and be dynamic on one’s diet improves the nutritional status.

I noticed that there are many proposed policies on the agenda that are related to healthcare. Some of them are specific to the nursing practice. This creates the opportunity for the nurse to advocate for policies that impact nursing and healthcare directly by providing first-hand accounts and professional opinions supported by research. Nurses have insight on issues, such as patient safety and satisfaction, health disparities, access to care, and promoting positive outcomes (Abood, 2016).
The problem is that some nurses are unable to navigate through the politics of regulation and policy (Abood, 2016). This can create a challenge and become discouraging for nurses looking to make an impact or promote an agenda (Abood, 2016). Nurses can overcome this difficulty by participating in internships and workshops that provide the opportunity for a nurse to learn about the legislative process and the current issues being discussed (Abood, 2016). Understanding the political process is an essential method for effectively advocate for an issue. Nurses have to learn to play the game to promote change or obtain the scarcely rationed funding available.
According to Milstead and Short (2019), key opportunities to advocate for policy lies in knowledge and perception. Being knowledgeable on an issue can increase your influence as an advocate. Perception is a significant key in politics. Being perceived as a valuable collaborator or obtaining the support of a mentor that is respected can help push your agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019). Networking plays a significant role in politics. being introduced respected mentor or partner can help a nurse gain influence with rallying for support of a proposed agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019).
Probably the most significant opportunity for a nurse to advocate for a policy comes with becoming a member of a nursing association. Nurses associations like the American Nurses Association (ANA) are set up with the mission of influencing policy and advocating for the nurses and patients (ANA, 2019). The strength lies in numbers with the nursing association. Many of these organizations have built relationships with politicians and political parties to gain influence to support their agendas. For example, the ANA tends to favor and support democratic candidates (Milstead & Short, 2019). Nurses associations have enough members to get the attention of lawmakers. However, the nurse still has to task of advocating within the association to gain support from its members.

Marilyn Lysohir, an internationally celebrated ceramic artist, started Cowgirl Chocolates to provide some funding support for a yearly published arts magazine, High Ground, that she and her husband, Ross Coates, started in 1995. Her love of chocolates and hot and spicy foods spurred the idea of making hot and spicy chocolates to be sold in creative, artistic tins and packaging, which she labeled Cowgirl Chocolates. Her small business, begun in 1997, had won a number of awards in fiery food competitions. While Cowgirl Chocolates had grown steadily over its four years in business, it still had only generated $30,000 in sales revenue in 2000, which was not enough to cover expenses. Marilyn had drained much of her personal savings to keep Cowgirl Chocolates in business. Her cash accounting methods and record keeping were not very sophisticated although she seemed to have a good sense of her costs in production and raw materials and the packaging. However, Marilyn had taken a shotgun approach to most of her marketing efforts and had tried a number of activities to increase product demand. She allowed herself to make one risky financial move each year in her pursuit of profitability and increased sales. She had just made her one risky move for year 2001: She had taken out a full-page ad in Chile Pepper magazine for $3,000.
Questions
1. The suggested retail price and wholesale prices of Cowgirl Chocolates products are displayed in Exhibit 2 (p. 491) along with the product and packaging costs.

Meta-Analysis: Protein and Energy Supplementation in Older People Anne C. Milne, MSc; Alison Avenell, MD; and Jan Potter, MBChB Background: Protein and energy undernutrition is common in older people, and further deterioration may occur during illness. Purpose: To assess whether oral protein and energy supplementa tion improves clinical and
nutritional outcomes for older people in the hospital, in an institution, or in the community. Data Sources: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CEN TRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE,
HealthStar, CINAHL, BIOSIS, and CAB abstracts. The authors included English- and non-English-language studies and hand-searched journals, contacted manufacturers, and sought information from trialists. The date of the most recent search of CENTRAL and MEDLINE is June 2005. Study Selection: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled tri als of oral protein and energy
supplementation compared with placebo or control treatment in older people. Data Extraction: Two reviewers independently assessed trials for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed trial quality. Differences were resolved by consensus. Data Synthesis: Fifty-five trials were included (n = 9187 randomly tions (Peto odds ratio, 0.72 [95% Cl, 0.53 to 0.97]) and reduced mortality (Peto odds ratio, 0.66 [CI, 0.49 to 0.90]) for those un dernourished at baseline. Few studies reported evidence that suggested any change in mortality, morbidity, or function for those given supplements at home. Ten trials reported gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with oral supplements. Limitations: The quality of most studies, as reported, was poor, particularly for concealment of allocation and blinding of outcome assessors. Many studies were too small or the follow-up time was too short to detect a statistically significant change in clinical out come. The clinical results are dominated by 1 very large recent trial in patients with stroke. Although this was a high-quality trial, few participants were undernourished at baseline. Conclusions: Oral nutritional supplements can improve nutritional status and seem to reduce mortality and complications for under nourished elderly patients in the hospital. Current evidence does not support routine supplementation for older people at home or for well-nourished older patients in any setting. assigned participants).

Abstract. Patients who are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly attempt to modify their
dietary intake after receiving nutrition care from primary health professionals. Yet, adherence to dietary recommendations
is rarely sustained and factors influencing adherence are poorly understood. This study exploredT2DMpatients’ experiences
of dietary change and their views on how primary health professionals can best support long-term maintenance of dietary
change.Apurposive sample of 10 individuals recently diagnosedwithT2DMparticipated in three individual semi-structured
qualitative telephone interviews: at baseline, then at 3 and 6 months after recruitment. Interview questions were modified
from the initial interview inorder to investigate emergingfindings.A two-step data analysis process occurred throughcontent
analysis of individual interviews andmeta-synthesis of findings over time. Participants initiallymadewide-ranging attempts
to improve dietary behaviours, butmost experienced negative emotions from the restraint required tomaintain a healthy diet.
Participants felt confused by the conflicting advice received from health professionals and other sources such as friends,
family, internet and diabetes organisations. Participants frequently reported feeling rushed and not heard in consultations,
resulting in limited ongoing engagement with primary healthcare services. These findings suggest that there is opportunity
for primary health professionals to enhance the dietary support provided to patients by: acknowledging the challenges of
sustained improvements in dietary intake; open communication; and investing in patient relationships through more
patient-focussed consultations.

Introduction
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a lifestyle-related chronic
disease and leading cause of morbidity andmortality in Australia
(Australian Institute of Health andWelfare 2007). Over 5%of the
Australian population has been diagnosed with T2DM, and an
additional 0.9% is predicted to be diagnosed annually (Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2012). T2DM is typically diagnosed
and managed in the primary healthcare setting, and patients with
T2DM receive health care from a variety of primary health
professionals (Diabetes Australia 2012). Impor ...

introduction
Clinical studies are purposed to help physicians and other interested parties to make health improvements on how issues are handles.
The United States currently faces a large number of health issues.
Obesity is among the common health issues that the country is facing, which requires intervention.
The country is currently the leading place with the largest number of people with this condition (Booth, Charlton, & Gulliford, 2016).
Obesity has been an issues of concern to many in the United States, mainly because the country is the leading nation in the world with the largest population of obese individuals.
The need to implement effectiveness and ensure that people regain their health is essential for the health industry of the country.
This presentation aims to present a research study on this issue and it provide recommendation of effective intervention measures that should be taken to address the issue.
2
Over view of the study
Obesity is currently affecting more than 37.9 percent of all the adults in the United States.
Annually, the government spends about 147 million dollars to address issues related to obesity only.
With this issue being extremely important, the study aims to obtain more information about the issue in the country.
The study then aims to use the findings that will be obtained to make recommendations of appropriate intervention strategies.
Statistical evidence clarify that obesity is a significant problem in the United States. Through this condition, more than 37.9 percent of the United States feel adverse negative effects, and are considered less healthy compared to other people.
This study has its main purpose being to make sure that effective strategies have been developed through which the issue will become less significant in terms of effect and money.

Clinical question definition (PICOT)
PICOT is a research explanation model which stands for people/population, intervention, comparison, outcome and time.
The population that is aimed to benefit from this study is both the young, the youths and the old who can obtain the condition of obesity (Mehta, Elo, Aromaa, & Koskinen, 2017).
The study facts and results are however based on data collected from people between the age of 20 and 30 years
The population under focus on this study is thus youths of between 20 and 30 years of age. This sample population was mainly chosen because it constitutes of the largest population of obese people in the country.
The study however aims at making sure that the identified research study respondents are randomly obtained from different areas and people living in different life styles.

Topic and Question
Topic five: Interventions to improve additional nutritional status: What type of interventions improve adherence to recommendations on nutritional intake?
Define the Topic and Question
This topic question is defined by interventions to enhance adherence to dietary advice for preventing and managing chronic diseases in adults. By introducing these interventions earlier, it will be possible to prevent people from being affected by chronic diseases.
Overview/Significance of the Problem
The acceptance and implementation of a healthy diet has been recognized as the foundation for managing, preventing, and fighting chronic diseases. However, the inability to be dynamic and diversify one’s life diet can lead to significant problems. It is also vital that people know that people acknowledge the importance of obeying dietary counsel since one’s adherence level can determine the efficiency of dietary treatment. The ability of one to diversify his diet reduces the risk of developing food allergy and intolerance (Ball et al., 2016). Additionally, the lack of education has been mostly associated with a poor quality and less diversified diet in people with diabetes (Tiew, Chan, Lye & Loke, 2014). It is, therefore, evident how the ability to diversify and be dynamic on one’s diet improves the nutritional status.

Dr. Joubert and colleagues, the study of leadership has developed, giving forth new theories and structures that explore the description of what it means to be a leader, and how to carry out the same effect. It would be pragmatic to note that one is not made a leader by a job title but through practical impact in. The situational theory is one such theory that can be effective in the medical field. This theory, often referred to as the Hersey-Blanchard situational leadership theory, suggests that no single leadership theory style is the best. However, Researchers and developers of leadership theories have not agreed on the leadership theories (Duggan et al., 2015)
.
Nursing leadership is a multidimensional concept. The nursing profession involves role model leaders that can transform their environment and leading their teams to succeed by overcoming obstacles. Situational leadership requires the leader to transform their leadership style to meet the followers' leadership needs (Marshall & Broome, 2017). Developing a single satisfying leadership theory has become problematic due to these phenomena. Leadership style has a direct impact on the quality of care administered by the nurse team. The leadership style defines the quality of the relationship between the leader and the followers and sets the tone and mood of the work environment (Laureate Education, 2018).
Our director of nursing practice a contingency leadership style. Aware of the different dispositions on our team, she treats each nurse based on their abilities and needs. At times, she exercises Laissez-fair leadership, dictatorial, transformational, democratic, and other transformational styles. I was amazed by the approach. It helped to manage the team. For instance, the recalcitrant nurse received warnings, punishment for mistakes, and reward for an excellent performance. These restrained her actions and caused her to develop positive behaviors and care towards patients.
In Addition to the application of situational leadership style, she had leadership characteristics such as charisma, honesty, communication skills, creativity, innovativeness, decision-making, and integrity. Combination of the style and the qualities facilitated leading our team initiatives. to create a leader that we were all revered. According to Calderon-Mafud and Pando-Moreno (2018), organizations experience cultures of flexibility, social support, innovation, an also increased personal confidence, and openness to change. Furthermore, the implementation of an authentic leadership style mostly behaved as a middleman in the organization as it increased work productivity, helped implement staff engagement, and improving job satisfaction.

I witnessed how the Mam adapted to live on their mountain
fortress: they'd carved steps into the mountainside, thousands
of terraces that cascaded down to the bottom of the valley. I
was awestruck by such architecture. "We've been cultivating la
milpa for hundreds of years," said Rosa. Milpa was a Spanish
word that summed up the three crops that had sustained the
Mam for centuries: maize, beans, and squash. Planting all three
crops together formed a sacrosanct principle of Mam farming.
The Mam were one of twenty-four indigenous cultures in
Guatemala, a country where nearly 50 per cent of the popu
lation were indigenous people, most of whom dwelled in rural
areas and depended on subsistence and small-scale agricul
ture for survival. Despite having a near majority of indigenous
people comprising its population, the country had never elected
an indigenous president. The mestizo elite owned politics and
power in Guatemala, while the Mam formed only a minus
cule fraction of the country's population. Marginalized to the
mountains in the northwest, they survived on growing food and
grazing livestock. Traditionally, men played a larger role in farm
management while women were responsible for grazing sheep,
grinding maize, cooking, cleaning, and nurturing the family.
The dusty husks of the harvest and the season past dried in
the slanted fields on the mountainsides. The bright sun caught
and illuminated their yellow leftovers into gold. Nothing
would be wasted on the mountains. Rosa would harvest the
dried crops for pig and sheep feed.

"Our seeds are hardy and meant for these mountains. The
seeds people try to sell us don't do well in Comitancillo. They
grow and the wind breaks them."
Years of living on the mountains had also ground Rosa into a
hardy woman. The fifty-year-old woman barely reached five feet.
She wore a striking turquoise blue huipil, a traditional blouse,
embroidered with magenta flowers. She parted her long black
hair in the middle and braided it down her back in a single
rope. Rosa was a widow. Her husband had died twelve years
earlier after falling from the rickety scaffolding on a construc
tion site and quickly dying of his injuries. He'd been working
as a migrant labourer in Xela, a city situated in one of the valley
flats, nearly th.

At least 500 words
Pay attention to the required length of these assignments. These assignments consist of reading a newspaper article about a designated region of the world--specific for each assignment--and writing an essay about it.
Primary sources are documents or other materials such as photographs, art work, coins, tapestries, etc. produced at the time period under consideration. https://library.uncw.edu/guides/finding_primary_sources is a website that gives information on what a primary source is and how historians [or anyone writing about history] use them. Look at the attached file for questions to ask of any source that you would consider a primary source.
For these newspaper article and extra credit assignments you are to find a substantive newspaper article [most newspapers are available online--it must be from a newspaper, not a website only or cablenews organization--NOT yahoonews, not cnn.com, not foxnews, not msnbc--only a published newspaper.] about the region designated for that assignment. If the article you choose is too short you will have trouble doing the assignment. Also, note that if an article is about birds, or insects or any non-human source that is not connected to humanity, it is not appropriate for this assignment. Any good newspaper article is based on sources, which historians would designate as primary sources. So an important part of these assignments is to identify the primary sources used by the author of the article you choose. Primary sources are the building blocks of history. You can think of them like eyewitness accounts or physical evidence produced at the time of an incident or crime being considered in a courtroom proceeding or trial. Without evidence a jury couldn’t make a fair decision in a case. In the same way, without primary sources, history cannot be written--and good newspaper articles cannot be written. So part of this assignment is asking you to decide if the reporter writing the article you select has actually used good primary sources. Does he or she have real evidence and enough of it to write the article? Does the reporter have a particular viewpoint or bias? Could you imagine the article being used as a primary source by a historian in the future for writing history about this time period? How useful would the document be and does it have any weaknesses or drawbacks as a piece of evidence? What else might a historian need, besides the article you are analyzing, to give a more complete or balanced discussion of the topic?
Your assignments will be graded on:
Formatting: 1 inch margins; your name, course number & assignment number [first, second or third] on top of first page. No other information is needed for a heading, and no repeat headers allowed. Following this formatting, cite the author(s) of the article, the title of the article, the name of the newspaper in which it appears [the title of the newspaper should be underlined] and the date of its publi.
At a generic level, innovation is a core business process concerned .docxcockekeshia
At a generic level, innovation is a core business process concerned with renewing what the
organization offers the world and the ways in which it creates and delivers that offering. And
to do this they all need to carry out these activities:
• Searching – scanning the environment (internal and external) for, and processing relevant signals about, threats and opportunities for change.
• Selecting – deciding (on the basis of a strategic view of how the enterprise can best
• develop) which of these signals to respond to
• Implementing – translating the potential in the trigger idea into something new and launching it in an internal or external market. Making this happen is not a single event but requires attention to:
Acquiring the knowledge resources to enable the innovation (for example, by creating something new through R&D, market research, etc., acquiring knowledge from elsewhere via technology transfer, strategic alliance, etc.).
Executing the project under conditions of uncertainty which require extensive problem-solving.
Launching the innovation and managing the process of initial adoption
Sustaining adoption and use in the long-term – or revisiting the original idea and modifying it – reinnovation.
Learning – enterprises have (but may not always take) the opportunity to learn from progressing through this cycle so that they can build their knowledge base and can improve the ways in which the process is managed.
But they differ widely in the ways in which this is done and the importance of different elements.
In this exercise pick a sector – e.g. food retailing, airlines, chemicals, public administration – and draw a map of their particular version of this process. How does it work out in practice? Where are they likely to need or to place most emphasis?

1. If the Solar System had formed right after the Big Bang, it would
have lacked oxygen (O), and therefore water (H2O). Using the solar
nebula theory, describe what would have been most different about
the planet formation process and the planets formed in this alternative
Solar System. [NO MORE than 15 sentences].
2. Halley’s comet is the only-naked eye comet that might appear twice in
a human lifetime (since it comes back every 76 years).
(a) Based on this comet’s orbital period, would you say that it is more
likely to have originated from the Kuiper belt or from the Oort
cloud? [A quantitative answer is expected to justify your choice]
(b) What other orbital feature, besides the comet’s orbital period,
could be used to distinguish its origin [NO MORE than 5 sen-
tences]
3. (a) Collect data on the mass and radius of Earth (made of rock) &
Jupiter (made of gas) and calculate the overall average density of
each planet, expressed in g/cm3.
(b) The density of water that we drink is about 1 g/cm3. Use your
everyday experience to describe the difference in density between
rock, air, and water. [State your answers in terms of “much
more/much less” or “a little more/a little less”].
(c) Is the mean density of Earth consistent with our everyday experi-
ence of similar composition material? What about Jupiter (same
question)?
(d) Propose a physical mechanism that might explain the discrepancy
between the mean density of a planet and the density of similar
composition material as we experience it in our everyday life.
4. Mean-motion resonances with Jupiter shape the Kirkwood gaps in the
main asteroid belt. A resonance written as “5:2” refers to the inner
body completing exactly 5 orbital revolutions when the outer body
completes exactly 2.

A strategic plan to inform emerging fashion retailers
about social media research and best practices.
2
Proposal Overview
Social media can take the form of various outlets, including, but not limited to: Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, etc. Each social media platform has its specific use and
benefits, with a wide range of active users. It is important to note that successful retailers are
using these online strategies to penetrate new markets, to champion for social media
movements, and to effectively develop connections with consumers.
In this social media blueprint, we suggest using Instagram as our company’s main social media
platform. Our primary research examines H&M, Topshop, and Uniqlo’s Instagram accounts and
revealed the importance of using models, creating effective hashtags, and providing customer
service. The secondary research presents the best practices of social media and how the public
and specific individuals view social media. To conclude the proposal, we will provide a
comprehensive strategy that includes a detailed plan with suggestions for a stellar social media
presence.
Primary Research Summary & Key Takeaways
We have compiled the following key takeaways using Instagram. Our primary research includes
a variety of retailers who specialize in different products and promote to diverse markets.
These three key findings will provide an all-encompassing approach which will ultimately tie
into our strategic recommendations going forward.
#1: Using models to showcase the retailer's products increases follower satisfactions. Each one
of our retailers uses this form of posting. The following three pictures are example images used
by retailers to promote their products through outfit modeling. Our retailers provide
consumers with the option to directly purchase clothing, accessories, and shoes via online
portals. These types of posts provide followers with a visualization of how the products will look
once worn, which is part of the purchasing decision many consumers take into account. In
addition, these types of images also provide outfit inspirations when consumers are in need of
assistance with outfit coordination.
(Uniqlo) (H&M) (Topshop)

#2: The use of hashtags connects posts to a broader conversation and trend. Our retailers use
various hashtags that either connected their post to an on-going product line, style, event, or
motto and “catchphrase”. For example, Uniqlo wants to be known for their fashionable, yet
simple clothing. Their hashtag, #simplemadebetter, allows Uniqlo to actively promote the
company’s business strategy of revamping basic clothing to make it ‘better’ quality and more
fashion forward. London Fashion Week is one of the most prominent events in the fashion
industry, known to set the latest fashion trends. The #LFW (London Fashion Week) establishes
Topshop as a brand that is compatible against the haute couture f.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Understanding the influence of urban or rural living on cardiac
patients’ decisions about diet and physical activity: Descriptive
decision modeling. International Journal of Nursing Studies,
50(11), 1513-1523. doi: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2013.03.003
This research aims to answer to better understand the decision-
making process of eating a heart healthy diet and extent of
physical activity. Also, are these decisions influenced by
whether the subject lives in a rural or urban setting. The
research proposal was the cultural issues effected participants
decision making as well as place of residence. This research
used a previous qualitative research design in which 42 cardiac
patients (21 urban, and 21 rural) were interviewed about their
diet and physical activity. The researchers then designed a
model for interviewing regarding the decision-making process.
The combination model was then given and tested with 647
cardiac patients (327 urban and 320 rural) from Canada. The
results were based on 93.5% accuracy for diet and 97.5 %
accuracy with physical activity. Results indicated that decision-
making was less about place of residence and more about
perception of control over health including time, effort, or
competing priorities, receipt of appropriate clear information,
and appeal of the activity.
A three-staged, multi-methods approach was used to develop
and analyze the descriptive decision making model that patients
use in making decisions regarding their cardiac lifestyle. A
cross-sectional survey was used to interview patients one year
post-cardiac catherization. These interviews were performed via
telephone. A three stage decision tree model was then used to
analyze the information offered. The stages were as follows: 1.
Factors that were influential in decision making. 2. If and where
failure had occurred for patients. 3. Did patients consistently,
sometimes, or not at all engage in physical activity and a heart
3. healthy diet. Results were then analyzed using statistical
analysis.
Information was gathered from a previous series of qualitative
interviews conducted with 42 cardiac patients (21 rural, 21
urban). Based on the information gathered decision-models
were developed related to eating habits and physical activity.
The new model was tested with 42 more participants to ensure
accuracy. The final model was given to 647 cardiac patients
(327 urban, 320 rural). Final results were then examined to
determine decision-making differences for urban and rural
patients.
The population used for this research is post-cardiac
catherization patients from both rural and urban settings. The
location is Alberta, Canada. Information was synthesized from
a previous research project and then any new information was
gathered via telephone interviews.
When tested in succession, the models that were created were
found to be very accurate, 93.5% for diet and 97.5% for
physical activity. The items that were identified to impact
patient decision making were perception of control over
decision making including time, effort and competing priorities,
availability of educational information, and whether the
physical activity was appealing or not. Urban versus rural
residency was not determined to be a factor.
The independent variables include residency (urban versus
rural), decision making, and Post-cardiac care patients.
The dependent variables include compliance, healthy diet, and
physical activity..
This article will contribute to our EBP project in that it
provides a description of factors that influence the decision-
making process for post-cardiac catherization patients. Our
project seeks to understand more on the topic and this
article/research provides a good basis of answers and
knowledge. This article rules out the influence of location of
residency, but includes the values of culture, education, and
4. appeal of physical activity..
White, S., Bissell, P., & Anderson, C. (2011). A qualitative
study of cardiac rehabilitation patients’ perspectives on making
dietary changes. Journal of Human Nutrition & Dietetics, 24(2),
122-127. doi:10.1111/j.1365-277X.2010.01136.x
Making healthier food decisions is important for the secondary
prevention of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Per this research,
cardiac diet changes should be included in cardiac rehabilitation
(CR) programs. Though patients do not always make the
recommended dietary changes, this research seeks to explain
cardiac rehabilitation thoughts and feelings towards making and
maintaining healthy dietary changes. This study interviewed 15
post-myocardial infarction CR patients regarding lifestyle
changes, including diet. Follow-up interviews (9 months post
CHD diagnosis) were then conducted with 9 of the previous 15
CR patients to see if their perspectives on lifestyle
modifications had changed. Results indicated that patients only
made and maintained dietary changes if they perceived that diet
caused their CHD. Changes included “cutting out things” from
the diet, but not including food that was healthier.
A qualitative research design was used in conducting this
research. Participants were recruited from a CR program in
which participants were educated on diet, physical activity,
stress management, and medication. Within the education
patients were advised to eat more of some food and less of the
unhealthy foods. One of the authors of this research attended
the CR program and asked for volunteers to the study. Face-to-
face interviews were conducted with those that volunteered
regarding the information they has received during CR,
specifically, diet changes. 9 months later the 9 of the 15
participants were re-interviewed to see if their perspectives had
changed. Recurrent themes were identified and then analyzed
5. for validity.
The method used is face-to-face interviews. In the initial
interviews participants were asked about their perspective on
CHD, the CR program, their perspective on lifestyle changes
(including diet), and taking new medications. The second
interviews (conducted 9 months later) focused on the same
topics, but more on if their perspectives had changed. Open
ended questions were used for both sets of interviews. Data was
analyzed for common themes. The interview guides and
questions were revisited several times for clarity and validity.
The population interviewed was CHD patients that had recently
completed a CR program. The research involved 15 participants
(11 men and 4 women) that were all Caucasian and British.
Ages of participants varied from 42-65 years old and from
various socioeconomic backgrounds. Participants were recruited
from a UK district general hospital based CR program. 13 of the
participants were married or living with partners. None of the
participants were related to each other.
All participants indicated that having had a heart attack was
traumatic and very scary. The two common themes were fear of
another heart attack (next one possibly fatal) and the desire to
“get back to normal”. Dietary change themes were limited to
“cutting things out”, but not the inclusion of healthy foods that
were recommended. Those participants that maintained dietary
changes felt that their diet was the reason they had a heart
attack. Those that did not feel that diet was a factor did not
maintain the diets that they had been taught about.
. The independent variables include education, CR program, and
perception of diet related to previous myocardial infarction.
. The dependent variables include lifestyle changes and
maintenance of dietary changes after 9 months.
I don’t feel that this article or research is particularly useful to
the group EBP research. This research is limited by to number
of participants as well as the demographics of the participants.
All participants were of the same ethnicity and similar age
group. The sample size should have been larger and more
6. diverse in order to increase the validity of findings.

Panagiotakos, D. B. (2015). Lifestyle interventions and one-
year prognosis of patients following open heart surgery: A
randomized clinical trial. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 24(11-
12), 1611-1621. doi: 10.1111/jocn.12762
The goal of this research is to evaluate the one-year prognosis
of post-open heart surgery patients that have received lifestyle
intervention counseling related to smoking cessation, diet, and
exercise. Lifestyle modification plays a huge role in patients
who are at high risk of developing cardiac disease or for those
that have an established cardiac disease history. Participants of
this study were placed into 2 groups (250 intervention group
and 250 control group) after they had open heart surgery and
were discharged from the hospital. The intervention group
participants were provided with lifestyle intervention
counseling, whereas the control group was given basic cardiac
patient discharge instructions. The primary end point was the
development of a cardiac disease (non-fatal) event within the
first year. Secondary end points included dietary habits and
physical activity evaluation, smoking cessation, and fatal
cardiac events. As a result, it was found that lifestyle
intervention counseling can improve health outcomes and
decrease fatal cardiac events post-open heart surgery.
This research was conducted with a randomized non-blind
format. 500 participants were involved, 250 of which were the
intervention group and 250 were the control group. The
intervention group involves post-open heart surgery lifestyle
change counseling, the control group only received cardiac
patient discharge instruction. The participants of both groups
were monitored on a monthly basis. After one year participants
of both groups were assessed based on both primary and
secondary end points. The participation of the one-year follow
up was 100%. After the one-year follow-up results were
evaluated and analyzed.
7. As mentioned, the method of this research was a randomized,
non-blind research project with one-year follow-up with
patients that received lifestyle intervention counseling as well
as with those who did not. Patients were interviewed prior to
open heart surgery to assess previous medical history, lifestyle
habits, and their willingness to change post-surgery. All follow-
up communication and interviewing was done via telephone.
Results from the one-year post interviews were then analyzed
based on end-points as well as compared to pre-surgery
interviews. The test statistic used was the two-sided Z test with
pooled variance.
537 consecutive open-heart surgery patients were asked to
participate in the research between 2008 and 2012. 37 of the
patients were excluded related to complications or preference to
not participate. Therefore, 500 patients that had open-heart
surgery related to CABG or valvular heart disease were
included in the research program. Participants were then
randomly assigned to either the control or intervention groups.
This research included a wide range in age and all races as the
participants were chosen in a consecutive fashion. This study
was performed in Athens, Greece.
The result of this research showed that the intervention group
was more likely to remain physically active, was more likely to
smoke, had higher incomes, and has more cases of hypertension
and obesity than the control group. The bottom line in this study
was those that modified behavior, whether through counseling
or on their own had better outcomes than those who did not.
The independent variable was post-open heart surgery lifestyle
intervention counseling.
The dependent variables included smoking cessation, dietary
changes, cardiac events (both fatal and non-fatal), and financial
status.
I do feel that this research is beneficial as it is directly related
to lifestyle modifications of cardiac patients. A large sample
was used and the study was conducted over four years,
including pre-surgical interviews, monthly check-ins, and one
8. year post-surgical evaluations.

The use of cardiac rehabilitation, which is important towards
the treatment of patients who have been diagnosed with the
heart disease remains underutilized in the healthcare facilities.
This intervention involves educating the patients on the need to
embrace healthy living to alleviate the effects of the condition
in their bodies. To change the negative trend of the utilization
of cardiac rehabilitation, the quantitative article establishes that
the healthcare practitioner ought to employ virtual platforms
such as mobile applications and social media to sensitize the
public on the need to embrace healthy lifestyle as a long-term
treatment plan.
The quantitative study article utilizes randomized controlled
trial design, where the authors conduct the research on a given
population using two phases to establish the effectiveness
arising from the utilization of cardiac rehabilitation in the
treatment of different cardiovascular conditions.
The article focuses on analysis and modeling of patient data to
come up with certain statistical inferences regarding the use of
cardiac rehabilitation as an intervention to deal with
cardiovascular diseases.
The population subjected to the randomized controlled trial in
those undergoing a cardiac rehabilitation in the outpatient
department of a clinical setting as well as those embracing the
virtual platforms dedicated to the fight against cardiovascular
diseases.
It was established that the utilization of virtual world based
cardiac rehabilitation worked better for the patients diagnosed
with cardiovascular diseases as compared to the general
outpatient services received from the clinical settings
9. Lifestyle interventions such as virtual and conventional world-
based cardiac rehabilitation.
The health behavior of patients ailing from cardiovascular
diseases.
With the value of the conventional cardiac rehabilitation
programs having been tested for a considerable period, it is the
best time that care practitioners should utilize virtual platforms
such as internet enhance the health behavior of patients
suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

Numerous health conditions are caused by the lack of proper
information regarding the importance of nutrition and physical
activity towards body fitness, in this case, the qualitative study
article is aimed at exploring the existing information regarding
the importance of nutrition and physical activity towards
alleviation of the effects of chronic heart disease with more
focus on the risk factor involved. With the qualitative study
examining prior databases having rich information on different
chronic diseases, it empowered the authors to have solid
foundation regarding educational interventions on patients
ailing from prolonged heart. This implies that the qualitative
article gives great insight regarding the risk factors associated
with chronic diseases and how to utilized educational
intervention to alleviate them.
The research article employs a systematic review prior
information from different databases regarding the usefulness of
educational interventions in the fight against the risk factors
which contribute severity of chronic heart disease.
The method utilized as collection of empirical data from
different databases with a view to analyze pertinent information
on the alleviation of CHD risk factors.
10. A systematic review is conducted on online databases such as
the English and Persian, aimed at establishing the relevance,
about the usefulness of educational interventions to risk factors
associated chronic heart disease.
It is found out that a significant number of the articles retrieved
from the online databases were relevant in the qualitative study
and provided useful information on the educational
interventions which can be used the long-term care of patients
living with chronic heart disease.
Nutrition and physical educational interventions
Cardiovascular risk factors.
In long term care patients diagnosed with chronic heart disease,
the nutrition and physical educational interventions are useful
tools for the healthcare practitioners in the fight against risk
factors such as hypertension and cigarette smoking, among
others, which can result into negative health outcomes.

The qualitative study such article is meant to highlight the
opinions of cardiac patients regarding patient-centered care,
especially in the longer term where important plans and
decision must be made between caregiver and the sick. This
article digs deeper into diverse scopes and characteristics of
patient-centered care, with more focus on the actions that
improve their physical and psychological well-being as they
continue to receive healthcare services. This implies that
quantitative study is based on the expectations and experiences
of patients ailing from cardiovascular diseases, which work
towards improving their overall wellness. This empowers the
cardiac patients to make important decisions regarding their
health since their satisfaction is guaranteed,
The authors utilized a descriptive design which was based on
cardiac patient’s survey, with the aim of establishing their
opinions regarding patient-centered care.
11. It involved a biographical approach where the researcher
interacted with the sampled population of cardiac patients, with
a view to get data from them regarding aspects of patient-
centered care, where customized interviews were conducted.
The population under study was cardiac patients who had been
admitted in a healthcare facility, ailing from cardiovascular
diseases.
In this qualitative study, the researcher concluded that patient-
centered care is crucial to the realization of improved health
outcomes among cardiac patients and more focus on their
choices and concerns in the healthcare environment.
Patient desires and anticipations towards the healthcare
practitioners.
Patient-centered care for cardiac patients.
The treatment of cardiac patients should involve patient-
centered care services which are vital in realization of their
satisfaction and improvement of their health outcome.

patients have long-term effects on exercise adherence. Journal
of Behavioral Medicine, 37(2)., 308-321.
In this study researchers found it necessary to develop a brief
self-regulation lifestyle program for patients who had
undergone post cardiac rehabilitation. Their decision to develop
this program was informed by the fact that maintaining a
lifestyle change following cardiac rehabilitation is a daunting
task. Randomized controlled trials were conducted whereby 210
patients who undergone cardiac rehabilitation were randomized
and assigned to two different types of care. One group
comprising of 112 patients was assigned the lifestyle
maintenance program and 98 assigned to standard care. The
study found that lifestyle program had a significant impact on
exercise behavior. Moreover, self-reported cardiac hospital
admission rates among patients in the lifestyle dropped
significantly.
A quantitative study design was used in this study. The data
12. collection and analysis techniques are typical of quantitative
study design.
Randomized controlled trials were in this study. Patients who
had receives cardiac rehabilitation were randomized to two
groups, the first group was randomized to a lifestyle
maintenance group and the second one to standard care.
The setting of the study is not defined.
The study found that lifestyle program had a significant impact
on patient’s exercise behavior. There was a 12 percent decline
in cardiac hospital admission rate in this group.
Independent variable is exercise adherence.
The dependent variable is self-reported cardiac hospital
admission rates.
This study is of fundamental importance to nursing practice in
the sense that it provides a better understanding of the value of
lifestyle program post-cardiac rehabilitation patients.

Even through there are positive reports regarding the outcome
of cardiac rehabilitation, the impact of this outcome vary from
one region to another. The difference un the outcome is largely
attributed to different rehabilitation program used. This study
focuses in investigating the impact of cardiac rehabilitation
program on cardiovascular risk factors. To achieve this goal,
researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study by analyzing
data gathered from Iman Ali Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, the
study analyzed a total 499 patients out of 504 who had
completed cardiac rehabilitation. The study revealed that a
comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program was effective in
improving exercise activity and cardiovascular risk factor.
A retrospective cohort study was used in this study.
Patients who had taken part in the cardiac rehabilitation
program were included in this study. Specifically, this study
focused on patients who had completed the cardiac
13. rehabilitation program between 2001 and 2008. The cardiac
rehabilitation program was implemented as a course spanning
for two months. At the beginning every course, patients were
tested for lipids, smoking, depression, exercise capacity.
The study was conducted at the Iman Ali Cardiac Rehabilitation
Center in Kermanshah province. Participants of the study were
patients who were referred to the program between 2001 and
2008
The study revealed that CR project had an impressive impact in
lowering blood pressure. This study confirmed findings of
previous studies which CR is effective in lowering systolic and
diastolic pressure.
. The independent variable in this study was cardiovascular
disease.
There are several dependent variables that can be identified
from this study. Some of these variables include exercise
capacity, blood pressure and blood lipids
This study is important for healthcare providers because it gives
them a better understanding of how CR program can help
preventing cardiovascular risk factors.

Prior studies have confirmed that autonomic system function
and metabolic syndrome have a significant impact on the
survival of patients. The primary objective of this study is to
explore the impact of a cardiac rehabilitation program on
patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Participants
selected for this study were patients who were previously
diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The considered patients
who had been referred to Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Center
of Afshar Hospital. Participants attended three rehabilitation
sessions every week for 12 weeks. There was a significant
improvement in heart rate recovery among patients who
14. participated in this study. there was also a significant reduction
in patients' waist circumference
This is a quantitative grounded research.
A total of 108 patients who had complete the study criteria were
enrolled into the cardiac rehabilitation course. The biplane
Simpson method was used in measuring the left ventricular
ejection fraction in patients who had undergone transthoracic
echocardiography.
The Study was conducted in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation
Center od Afschar Hospital Iran
The study found that automatic system function improved after
36 of the rehabilitation program.
Duration of participation in exercise training is the independent
variable study.
The dependent variable in this study is autonomic system
balance. Patients autonomic system balance function in
patient’s coronary artery disease.
This study helps healthcare providers understand importance of
a cardiac rehabilitation program in improving autonomic system
function in patients with coronary artery diseases.
