Factors Determining Peripheral Vascular Disease Clients' Intent To Adhere To Prescribed Behaviors, Gretchen Grahn Hitchcock
Nursing Theses & Dissertations
Motivation of clients with Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) to adhere to Recommended risk-reducing behaviors (RRB’s) was explored. The sample (n =30) was comprised of clients in a vascular physician group’s practice with a medical diagnosis of PVD. A nonexperimental, descriptive design was utilized to investigate how much variation in adherence to RRB’s by PVD clients could be accounted for by the client’s perceived effectiveness of a RRB and the client’s perceived difficulty in adhering to a RRB. A self-administered three part instrument, a demographic data form, and a self-administered qualitative data form were utilized to collect the data. Regression analysis …

Nursing Faculty Publications

Perhaps it is important to emphasize both the frustration and necessity of this repetition and that patience is needed …
