- When individuals become ill, they want to understand and give meaning to their illness. The interpretation of this illness experience, or illness perception, is influenced by a range of individual, contextual, and cultural factors. Some of these factors may be modifiable by nursing interventions. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate which modifiable factors were correlated with illness perceptions across studies of adults with different chronic somatic diseases. Using search terms tailored to each of four electronic databases, studies retrieved were reviewed by two independent evaluators, and each relevant article was assessed for methodological quality. Results were standardized by calculating correlation coefficients. Fifteen papers on illness perceptions in a variety of chronic diseases met the inclusion criteria. All used standardized measures of illness perceptions. We identified five groups of modifiable correlates of illness perceptions: illness-related factors, psychosocial factors, medication beliefs, information provision and satisfaction with information received, and quality of care. Our findings add to the knowledge of modifiable factors correlated with illness perceptions, including the importance of illness-related factors and psychosocial factors such as anxiety and depression. Knowledge of these correlates can facilitate understanding of patients' illness perceptions and might be useful in tailoring patient education programs.

- Information on the prevalence, outcome and factors associated with heart failure in patients with adult congenital heart disease (CHD) (ACHD-HF) is lacking. We aimed at assessing the prevalence and outcome of ACHD-HF, the variables associated with ACHD-HF, and the differences between major anatomical/pathophysiological ACHD subgroups.We included 3905 patients (age 35.4±13.2years) under active follow-up in our institution (last visit >2010). Outcome of ACHD-HF cases was compared with sex- and age-matched cases. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression with ACHD-HF diagnosis as a dependent variable was performed. Overall prevalence of ACHD-HF was 6.4% (mean age 49.5±16.7years), but was higher in patients with cyanotic CHD (41%), Fontan circulation (30%), and a systemic right ventricle (25%). All-cause mortality was higher in ACHD-HF cases when compared with controls (mortality rate ratio 4.67 (2.36-9.27); P=0.0001). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, age at latest follow-up [per 10years; odds ratio (OR) 1.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31-1.77], infective endocarditis (OR 4.11; 95%CI 1.80-9.38), history of atrial arrhythmia (OR 3.52; 95%CI 2.17-5.74), pacemaker implantation (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.50-4.72), end-organ dysfunction (OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.03-5.63), New York Heart Association class (OR 9.28; 95% CI 6.04-14.25), heart rate (per 10bpm; OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.08-1.50), ventricular dysfunction (OR 3.62; 95% CI 2.54-5.17), and pulmonary hypertension severity (OR 1.66; 95% CI 1.21-2.30) were independently related to the presence of ACHD-HF. Some variables (age, atrial arrhythmia, pacemaker, New York Heart Association, and ventricular dysfunction) were related to ACHD-HF in all anatomical/physiological subgroups, whereas others were not.ACHD-HF is prevalent especially in complex CHD and is associated with poor prognosis. Our data provide insight in the factors related to ACHD-HF including differences between specific anatomical and physiological subgroups.

- The purpose of this study was to test practical skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in European cardiovascular nurses and allied professions. Methods: Eighty-six delegates at the Spring Meeting on Cardiovascular Nursing in Malmö, Sweden, in 2008, were recruited for this study. Laerdal Resusci Anne SkillReporter manikins connected to a computer with the Laerdal PC SkillReporting System were used. The participants were told to perform CPR according to the “new”guidelines from 2005; 30:2 for three minutes. Results: 88% of the tested participants were nurses and 79% were female. Mean age were 42 years (range 19–63 years). They came from 14 different European countries, though one third was from Sweden. About two thirds had trained CPR within the last year. Seven per cent had no previous CPR training. According to practical skills the average inflations per minute were five (SD+1.5), average inflation volume 992 ml (SD+423) and average flow rate 857 ml/second (SD+401). According assessment of chest compressions the average compression rate was 121 (SD+22.5), average compression per minute 79.5 (SD+14.4), average compression depth 43.8 mm (SD+9.4) and average compression duty cycle 43.8% (SD+5.7). Hand position “too low”was the most common committed error. Conclusion: The practical skill in CPR among the tested delegates was rather satisfying regarding chest compressions. However, there were wide ranges as shown by large standard deviations. Regarding ventilations, too large volumes together with flow rates as high as those performed by many of these delegates may easily lead to gastric inflation during clinical CPR.
