The purpose of this thesis was to assist nursing students and healthcare providers in identifying the link between sleep disturbance and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, the thesis aimed to raise awareness about the impact of lifestyle habits on the cardiovascular system, particularly among individuals in various occupations, with a focus on healthcare professionals who face significant stress within their occupational communities.
The objectives of the research were twofold: first, to elucidate a spectrum of sleep disturbances that have implications for cardiovascular disease. Secondly, the study drew attention to the escalating prevalence of cardiovascular disorders within the population, representing the foremost risk of mortality each year. Furthermore, the research delved into the intricate relationship between diet, exercise, and their influence on the cardiovascular system, offering illustrative examples to underscore the significance of these factors in maintaining cardiovascular health.
This literature review employed a blend of qualitative and narrative approaches. The retrieval and compilation of data primarily involved electronic databases such as EBSCO and PubMed, adhering to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected publications ranged from 2013 to 2023 to ensure the provision of current and up-to-date knowledge. Inductive content analysis was applied to examine the gathered data, extracting relevant categories aligned with the research questions.
The results provide a holistic view of cardiovascular health, emphasizing the importance of a plant-based diet and lifestyle adjustments in preventing cardiovascular disease. It explores the biological mechanisms supporting the positive effects of a plant-based diet on weight management, lipid profiles, and overall cardiovascular well-being. Additionally, it contrasts the cardiovascular impacts of plant-based and animal-derived foods, highlighting the Mediterranean Diet's association with reduced cardiovascular events. The text also delves into how various exercise modalities molecularly benefit cardiovascular risk factors, addressing metabolic imbalances and enhancing overall cardiovascular and metabolic health. Lastly, it examines the dynamic interplay between exercise, blood lipids, and cardiovascular health, emphasizing exercise's positive influence on insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, and blood pressure, positioning it as a fundamental element in promoting comprehensive cardiovascular well-being.
