Abstract


                Cardiac permanent pacemaker is a device inserted to patients who have a problem of severe bradyarrhythmia. This device prevents patients with severe bradyarrhythmia from cardiac dysfunction and helps the function of the heart work properly. However, the patient needs to use this device all his/her lifetime.  This leads the patient with cardiac permanent pacemaker need to adapt his/her health behavior to live appropriately. Nevertheless, it has been found that a number of patients still have had improper health behavior, leading negative consequences to their lives. Nurses have important roles to help promote health behavior for these patients. Providing helpful information to the patient with cardiac permanent pacemaker from admission to discharge to home will help maintain proper health behavior in the patient in order to have good health status and quality of life.
