- Abstract
Permanent cardiac pacemaker represents the long term (years) cardiac stimulation, performed with a pacemaker pulse generator placed inside the patient's body (implanted under the skin). The aim of this study is to analyze the duties of the nurse in nursing the patients with pacemakers and the quality of care of these patients. The study was made at the Railway General Hospital Sibiu on a group of 20 patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine department for a period of 6 months. In this group, there was applied a questionnaire containing eight questions with multiple choice answers. After analyzing the responses of patients, it was concluded that the implanted patients' satisfaction is very high, the objections addressing some minor deficiencies, which often are not the nurse's fault. Enhancing health education of the population on hygienic-dietary regime, medication, evolution, complications and medical checks is necessary. Intense involvement of all health professionals (doctors, nurses and support staff) in health education with the cooperation and support of the family is also necessary.
