Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common term used to refer to disorders affecting the blood vessels or the heart that have led to the majority of deaths worldwide.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore nurse's perception of their role and their experiences in relation to engaging with cardiovascular disease prevention in the primary care setting.

Methods: In the selection of clinical nurses who were interested in primary care to participate, qualitative describing design and impracticable sampling were used. The data collection methods include semi-structured and one-on-one interviews. The results were analyzed by the methodology for qualitative content analysis.

Results: In this study, 10 nurses were participated and their role in CVD prevention plays a part in health education, diagnosis and consultation, reassurance, monitoring of vital signs, and collecting blood samples. The challenges include cultural obstacles and vocabulary, negative attitudes, contradictory regulations, a lack of equipment, a shortage of nursing staff and the lack of knowledge and information. Electronic information, patient education, nurse training, and communication workshops are the facilitators for nurses that prevent heart disease.

Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease is lethal, but adequate preventive programs can accommodate it. In addition, nurses play an important role in preventing CVD in primary healthcare and should therefore concentrate efforts on the enhancement of their capacity. The aim of future research should be to understand how patients interpret and incorporate data on the prevention of CVD provided by nurses.

Introduction
The world's leading threat continue to be cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as coronary heart disease, pulmonary respiratory disease, heart failure, stroke, rheumatic heart disease and hypertension. Approximately all CVDs inevitably lead to heart failure, which is a serious disease with significant morbidity and mortality and a major burden not just for the affected persons but also for community and health care systems. According to the Centers for Control and Prevention, most chronic diseases such as CVDs, stroke, obesity and diabetes are preventable and less costly to treat wheat and are known to account for over 44% of deaths. The pathogenesis of CVD is dominated by atherosclerosis. The risk factors of activities such as obesity, smoking, unhealthy diet, alcoholism and physical inactivity will prevent the CVD.
