RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Adherence to antiplatelet therapy is recommended but unexplored in patients with symptomatic lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Therefore, this study aimed to determine adherence and persistence to antiplatelet therapy in patients with PAD, defined as intermittent claudication and chronic limb threatening ischaemia. DESIGN: Population based nationwide cohort study. METHODS: This study included all Danish citizens aged ≥ 40 years with a first inpatient or outpatient diagnosis of symptomatic PAD between 2010 - 2017, and who had at least one prescription claim for aspirin and/or clopidogrel within 90 days after diagnosis. Adherence was determined by the proportion of days covered (PDC) during the first year after diagnosis. Persistence was defined as no treatment gap ≥ 30 days between prescription renewals over three year follow up. RESULTS: A total of 39 687 patients were eligible for inclusion, of whom 23 279 (58.7%) claimed a prescription for aspirin and/or clopidogrel within 90 days of diagnosis. Among these, 12 898 (55.4%) were prevalent users, while the remainder comprised new users who initiated the therapy after the index PAD diagnosis. The mean PDC was 74.5% (SD 35.0%) for prevalent users and 60.5% (SD 30.5%) for new users. Adherence increased with age and number of concomitant drugs. The overall one year cumulative incidence treatment discontinuation was 13.0% (95% CI 12.5 - 13.4%) overall, 17.2% (CI 16.6 - 17.9%) for prevalent users, and 7.9% (CI 7.4 - 8.4%) for new users. At three year follow up, the cumulative incidence of discontinuation was 31.5% (CI 30.9 - 32.2%) overall, 44.6% (CI 43.7 - 45.4%) for prevalent users, and 14.6% (CI 13.9 - 15.3) for new users. CONCLUSION: Less than 60% of patients with newly diagnosed symptomatic PAD claimed a prescription for antiplatelet therapy within 90 days of diagnosis, and both adherence and persistence were moderate during the first year after diagnosis. These findings underscore the importance of efforts to improve the initiation and continuation of antiplatelet therapy in patients with PAD.

RESUMEN

This study aims to explore how a changed COVID-19 work environment influences nurses' clinical decision-making. Data were collected via three focus groups totaling 14 nurses working in COVID-19 pandemic wards at a Danish university hospital. The factors influencing decision-making are described in three themes; navigating in a COVID-19 dominated context, recognizing the importance of collegial fellowship, and the complexities of feeling competent. A strong joint commitment among the nurses to manage critical situations fostered a culture of knowledge-sharing and drawing on colleagues' competencies in clinical decision-making. It is important for nurse leaders to consider multiple factors when preparing nurses not only to work in changing work environments, but also when nurses are asked to work in environments and specialties that deviate from their usual routines.

RESUMEN

The maintenance of physical distance, the absence of relatives and the relocation of registered nurses to COVID-19 units presumably affects nursing care at non-COVID-19 units. Using a qualitative design, this study explored registered nurses' experiences of how COVID-19 influenced nursing care in non-COVID-19 units at a Danish university hospital during the first wave of the virus. The study is reported using the COREQ checklist. The analysis offered two findings: (1) the challenge of an increased workload for registered nurses remaining in non-COVID-19 units and (2) the difficulty of navigating the contradictory needs for both closeness to and distance from patients. The study concluded that several factors challenged nursing care in non-COVID-19 units during the COVID-19 pandemic. These may have decreased the amount of contact between patients and registered nurses, which may have contributed to a task-oriented approach to nursing care, leading to missed nursing care.
