Page 10: PROGRAM ORIENTATION - PPCN...HealthMapRxTM Cardiovascular (CV) Health Program Process of Care ASSESSMENTS GOALS CLINICAL SELF-MANAGEMENT Monthly visits for the first CREDENTIAL three

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT

APhA Foundation

36 Questions

Directions:

The assessment contains a total of 36 questions. The purpose of this assessment is to determine how much you currently know about your cardiovascular (CV) health and the best ways to manage it. The results of the assessment will be helpful to developing a plan to meet your individual needs for managing your hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia and general heart health. You and the pharmacist will work together to help you learn all of the material covered in the assessment.

Your feedback about this assessment is very important because the assessment is a part of an important pilot project you are participating in. After you are finished, you will be asked to fill out a survey about the assessment to provide feedback on how to improve this assessment for use in helping others to manage their diabetes.

Each question is followed by four possible answers. Select the best answer for each question and fill in the corresponding lettered space on the answer sheet. Mark only one answer for each question.

Let the assessment administrator know when you are finished, and he/she will collect your booklet and answer sheet. He/she will then score your assessment and the pharmacist will go over the results with you to develop a plan that meets your needs for learning more about managing your heart health.

Your score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly. There is no penalty for guessing, so try to answer every question, even if you must guess.

REMEMBER TO MARK ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS ON THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET, and be sure that each mark is heavy and dark and completely fills the answer space. If you change an answer, be sure to completely erase the previous mark.

Stress Management

Preferred Responses

1. How does stress affect blood pressure?

• Stress can lead to increased blood pressure (due to excess increases during stressful periods). When stress is sustained over periods of time, it can lead to high blood pressure.

2. Why is it important to manage stress?

• Relates to number 1. Managing stress will help to better manage your cardiovascular health. When stressed, blood pressure can go up and this makes the heart work harder, which can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney disease or other chronic problems. Managing stress will also contribute to a happier, healthier life.

3. Identify 2 or 3 stressors in your life?

• Yes = Patient must simply identify 2 or 3 stressors (i.e. work, life, diabetes or other

chronic illness, family, etc… will vary from patient to patient)

4. Are the stressors in your life physical or mental?

• Yes = Patient must identify if stress seems to be mental (examples: fear, depression, coping) or more disease (examples: chronic care related to heart disease) or body related / physical (reduction in abilities, or overall care ). Will help to identify type of stress which can then lead to reducing it.

5. Are the stressors in your life ongoing or temporary?

• Yes = Self-explanatory…Is it a recurring or continuous stressor or one that is short-lived.

6. How can you test whether or how much stress is affecting your blood pressure?

• Yes = Options include testing blood pressure during stressful and non-stressful times,

keeping a stress diary, or combining the two and keeping a stress record and blood pressure record (if monitoring) together.

Stress Management Page 4 Copyright © 2006. APhA Foundation. All rights reserved. Unauthorized use, disclosure or reproduction is strictly prohibited.

7. How do you deal with the stressors in your life (e.g., ignore them, drink, act hostile, exercise)?

• Yes = Appropriate ways to deal with stress are acceptable. Answers will vary widely.

Some examples include: talking with others, knowing your limits, expressing feelings / crying (when appropriate), laughing each day, exercise, planning ahead, setting realizable goals, taking breaks, prayer / meditation / religious oriented relaxation or devotion, support group, pets. Inappropriate ways, such as drinking, would equal a no response.

8. What can you do to relax (e.g., breathing exercises, banishing bad thoughts, replacing bad thoughts with good ones)? Do you do this? How often?

• Yes = Identification of a relaxation technique will suffice. Answers will again be various.

Examples are in number 7. More importantly, identification alone does not satisfy the question. An answer must include a time frame that the patient actually conducts one or more of these self management techniques.

9. What other and more long-term ways can you reduce your mental stress (e.g., make changes, change lifestyle, use support groups, therapy)? Do you do this?

• Yes = Self explanatory. Somewhat subjective, and will vary from patient to patient.

Provider must differentiate between immediate relaxation techniques (example: hot bath) versus long-term stress reduction (example: therapist).

10. How can you anticipate stressors in advance? Do you do this?

• Yes = Patient must identify whether or not they can predict (i.e. plan for) stressors. Most important is whether or not they do this. If so, then they satisfy the question.

11. Name 1 or 2 cardiovascular health support systems or methods that you use (e.g., AHA, family, friends, personal breathing techniques, or therapist).

• Yes = Repetitive question, but focuses specifically on cardiovascular health. Focus here is

to identify what patient is stressed with respect to their blood pressure management and how they specifically handle that individual stress.
