The onset of chronic diseases varies between individual depending on lifestyle and healthcare. Although there is considerable volume research about the association between physical activity and chronic diseases, there is a knowledge gap on the impact of physical activities that are initiated after diagnosis of the disease. People residing in mid-size and small towns in China lack quality healthcare which impacts on the health of older people. Since the proportion of older people in China is increasing significantly, it is crucial to investigate how physical activities can improve their health after the diagnosis of chronic diseases. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the onset of chronic diseases and physical activity among older people living in a mid-size city in China. The study is designed based on existing nursing knowledge of the physical activity. The knowledge that physical activities can prevent chronic diseases makes the basis for the study. It is also known that physical…

Hepatitis C disease Introduction Hepatitis C disease causes human liver infection and inflammation. The condition occurs after an individual is affected by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV).  The disease is highly contagious, and a huge number of people have the disease. The condition can be serious and lead to either liver cancer or liver disease if not treated appropriately. Hepatitis C is found in the entire world. There are about 71 million people chronically infected with hepatitis C globally, wherein 2013, an estimate of 400,000 died with liver disease. The disease prevalence varies across the world and various regions. Most developed countries have a 4-05 prevalence while it is higher in some Eastern European countries like Russia 2.2%, some African countries like Egypt 7.7% ad the Middle East like Syria 3.0%. In the United States, there are more than 3.5 million who have chronic hepatitis C (DNDi, 2018). Even though hepatitis C is found anywhere in the globe, which makes an interesting heath study topic, it has six dissimilar HPV genotypes distributed across the world. GT1 is common in developed…

Sickle-Cell Disease Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic blood disorders that affect the hemoglobin where red blood cells change from their standard round shape to crescent-like shape. As a result of alteration in form, it becomes problematic for the red blood cells to course liberally through blood vessels, and the body destroys them quicker than usual, causing Anemia as the body recognizes the difference as an abnormality. People born with SCD have parents with sickle traits, or in much rarer cases, one parent has a sickle cell trait while the other parent has a beta-thalassemia trait (Yates, 2016). Although some people with sickle traits are generally in good physical shape, they can pass the defective gene to their children, especially during pregnancy. Additionally, if a baby is born with only one flawed hemoglobin trait, the baby only becomes a carrier of the sickle cell disease but does not develop the SDC symptoms. Although Hispanic, middle eastern, or people with Asian back grounds are at risk of inheriting the disease, statistics show that African Americans are…

structural heart disease Martin Leon introduced the term structural heart disease in 1999. Structural heart disease is a condition that mostly affects the tissues or valves in the heart. It can be described as non-coronary cardiovascular disease. Most of the diseases these present at birth and referred to as congenital. However, a few of the structural heart defects can develop during the growth of an individual. Though the World Health Organization(WHO), a lot of research has been done on cardiovascular care and increased recognition of the disease. Examples of structural Heart diseases include Aortic valve stenosis, Marfan syndrome, Myocarditis, Heart Valve Disease, Cardiomyopathy, and mitral valve regulation. For our case study, we will be working with Heart valve disease. Heart valve disease is a condition where the valves(one or more)in the heart get damaged or don’t work correctly hence causing a problem in the blood flow. The various types of heart valve disease include the following Valvular stenosis this type observed when a particular heart valve fails to open mostly due to fused and stiff leaflets fully. Now the narrowed…

Chronic diseases Chronic diseases affect people’s physical health. In addition, all chronic illness impact the psychological health of the affected people. Cancer is one of the chronic diseases that affect the mental health of people. The diagnosis process, treatment interventions, and learning to cope with Cancer causes depression among patients. People who are diagnosed with cancer undergo grieving with evidence showing that the majority of patients with the condition develop post-traumatic stress disorder. This is because cancer is associated with traumatic experiences, and the probability of a fatal prognosis is high among patients. In addition, cancer treatment contributes to the development of depression among patients. Chemo brain is a side effect of chemotherapy that is associated with the development of cognitive impairment, depression, and fatigue among cancer patients. About 25% of individuals with cancer develop depression. Cancer patients experience sadness, grief, and lose interest in normal activities. Depression results in feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and suicidal thoughts among cancer patients. Additionally, individuals who receive cancer diagnosis experience denial. This occurs since many patients experience trouble accepting that they have cancer.…
