Abstract
Objective: Management of intermittent claudication (IC) should include secondary prevention to reduce the increased risk of cardiocerebrovascular diseases. Patients’ non-adherence to secondary prevention is a challenge and person centred care has been suggested to ameliorate this. This randomised controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of a person centred, nurse led follow up programme among patients surgically treated for IC compared with standard care. The hypothesis was that the intervention programme would improve patients’ adherence to prescribed medication.
