The prevalence of cardiovascular disorders among healthcare providers have been increasing in the past few years and research conducted in this aspect have identified various risk factors that affect cardiovascular health: like shift work, high stress, anxiety, work environment, obesity, high basal metabolic index, and others. PRISMA guidelines were followed and data search was conducted on PubMed, PMC, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar wherein the identification and screening led to 31 selected studies on identification of knowledge, perception and attitude of the healthcare providers regarding their cardiovascular disorders. Results reveal that knowledge level even although high in healthcare providers regarding their cardiovascular health, the attitude or perception differs among them. Lack of time, stigma, fear of unknown, access to healthcare, not wishing to burden co-workers are some of the identified factors which are affecting their decision making regarding proper actions to be taken to address their cardiovascular issues. |
