| Nursing metaparadigm |
| Person |
Holistic, open, integrated, adaptable and complex human being in a context of cardiovascular risk in their environment/health context and who presents human and social needs (physical, biochemical, intellectual, psychosocial and cultural). |
| Health |
Mind, body and soul unity, with independent functionality, adapted and with its best health condition in the face of cardiovascular, intrinsic and extrinsic stressors and other risks in the health context. |
| Environment |
Internal and external, concrete and abstract elements of an open system that affect the person, their organism and the care and health context. |
| Nursing |
Science, art and practical discipline that involves care using scientific foundations in the theoretical-practical framework construction. Identifies contexts, factors and phenomena relevant to cardiovascular health through the use of clinical reasoning in the decision-making process. |
| Central concepts |
| Cardiovascular risk |
Health and care context that allows identifying groups with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, modifiable (cardiometabolic, behavioral, psychosocial and cultural, occupational, emotional and therapeutic) and non-modifiable (biological) that act as early and interrelated markers of multiple and heterogenic etiology that predispose the person and their community to vulnerability. |
| Metabolic syndrome |
Aggregation of significant cardiovascular risk markers, of multifactorial etiology, related to asymptomatic inflammation that predisposes the person to vulnerability. It involves the identification of at least three diagnostic criteria, such as increased abdominal circumference, increased fasting vascular blood glucose, blood pressure, triglycerides, and/or reduced high-density cholesterol, according to the parameter adopted and the demand for a multidisciplinary approach, including nursing. |
| Factorial concepts |
| Biological |
Non-modifiable factors related to a person’s intrinsic life, inserted by time of existence, genetics and/or heredity. They involve phenomena such as sex/gender, age, ethnicity, family history. |
| Cardiometabolic |
Factors related to cardiovascular function, hormonal and nutritional processes, modifiable depending on the specific characteristics of risk phenomena, with an impact on a person’s health. They involve phenomena such as nutrition, body weight, estrogen and progesterone concentration, menopause, sleep and rest. |
| Behavioral |
Modifiable factors related to the individual and/or collective way of proceeding when faced with social and/or affectionate stimuli that compromise cardiovascular health and/or care. They involve phenomena such as eating habits, physical activity/exercise, tobacco/alcohol use, low adherence, therapeutic abandonment, health management and self-care, sexual process and sexuality. |
| Psychosocial and cultural |
Factors involving psychological, social and cultural aspects, modifiable depending on interest, disposition, collective context, self-perception or personal belief, which together compromise cardiovascular health and/or care. They involve phenomena such as knowledge, communication, acceptance and adaptation to health conditions, interpersonal and family relationships, self-image, self-esteem, socioeconomic and cultural conditions, stress, anxiety, spiritual and religious beliefs. |
| Occupational |
Modifiable factors related to the work process, its organization and problems arising from a person’s occupational exhaustion, which compromise health and/or cardiovascular care. |
| Emotional |
Factors related to specific diseases and/or impact on a person’s body, modifiable depending on the availability of treatment for a cure, which compromise cardiovascular health and/or care. |
| Therapeutic |
Factors related to processes, technologies and procedures to treat illnesses that compromise cardiovascular health and/or care, modifiable through intervention in the therapeutic process or cessation of failures and/or errors in management. They involve phenomena such as the use of specific medications, polypharmacy, hormone deprivation or replacement or special treatments. |
