Background: Cardiovascular diseases are disease of the heart and the blood vessel, they are not communicable diseases or transmittable from one person to another and are prolonged in nature. It is caused by either modifiable or non-modifiable factors in paediatrics. This research would examine the following questions: (1). What are the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in children? (2). What interventions for cardiovascular diseases in children exist? and (3). Role of nurses in promoting health of paediatrics with cardiovascular diseases?
Method: The articles were analysed using a deductive content analysis. Framework used for this study is the Nola J. Pender Health promotion model. Health promoting behaviour is the target act directed towards achieving a positive health outcome like ideal well-being, personal fulfilment, and productive living. A total of 24 articles collected from Ebsco-Academic elite, Science direct, PubMed, SAGE Journal and Google scholar was used to analyse the findings and the method used was qualitative content analysis: literature review.
The findings show that multifactorial interventions are increasingly important toward the management of high risk factors for CVD. abnormalities are found also in children, although the precise genetic, epigenetic, or environmental basis are unknown but genetic factors are being recognized to have important role. It is important in childhood that cardiovascular health is promoted to avoid cardiometabolic outcomes in adulthood by encouraging healthy eating habit, increased physical activity and reduce screen time. The role of nurses is important in facilitating patient’s lifestyle changes as proven by researches, it was found that nurse support program is effective through regular contact and encouragement to supporting lifestyle changes.
In conclusion, cardiovascular disease is world most killing diseases, although some paediatric may get it through hereditary and others environmental factors. However, the most underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases both in children and adult is associated to lifestyle, inactiveness and diet. Nurses present themselves as a role model through healthy choices, continuing education and further research on their role in paediatrics CVD and its risk factors is recommended.
