dc.description.abstractCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) contribute to most of the potentially preventable burden through early risk assessment. Nurse-led CVD risk assessment is an effective strategy to address the human resource crisis for CVD prevention. An interventional study was conducted in medicine wards of a tertiary care hospital in North India to train nurses in CVD risk assessment and its communication. All bedside nurses (n = 30) of selected wards were enrolled and trained in CVD risk assessment and communication using WHO/ISH risk prediction charts. Once fully trained, each nurse enrolled patients (>40 years of age) from their respective wards to assess and communicate CVD risk. To calculate the reliability of risk assessment, investigator simultaneously assessed CVD risk with nurses. The mean age of nurses was 32.07 ± 6.31 years. The results revealed that training significantly increased the knowledge of nursing personnel (P < 0.001). There was perfect inter?rater reliability agreement (Cohen’s k = 0.929) between nurses and investigators while assessing CVD risk. Nurses demonstrated good communication skills. The study concluded that nurses can be trained successfully in CVD risk assessment and communication. The study recommends the task shifting of CVD risk assessment to nurses after providing proper trainingen_US
