This paper argues that the historical trajectories of television and cardiovascular disease prevention in the German Democratic Republic are interlocking. These diseases were largely understood as caused by an unhealthy modern lifestyle. Healthcare experts were convinced that health education was an effective strategy to persuade the population to follow a healthy lifestyle. With its rise as a new mass medium, health educators increasingly relied on television as a means to put their message across. Yet the new medium itself was a target of health education measures as excessive TV consumption was considered a potential threat to cardiovascular health. This article deals with the history of health-related problematizations of TV consumption. In the 1950s and early 1960s, during an animated discourse on the strain of a modern lifestyle television was considered a potential source of overstimulation of the nervous system. As this article argues, this interpretation was undermined by a modified concept of TV consumption within the discourse of empirical audience research.

Health promotion is a method to increase awareness of healthy behavior in public. Unhealthy lifestyles cause increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Community health nurses have a responsibility to increase the motivation of healthy practice with the health promotion’s method. This research method used a systematic review, using online databases on Cambridge Core, Wiley Online, and Science Direct e-resources when the articles published from 2006-2018. The selection of literature used the Critical Capability Program (CASP) tool and got eight relevant articles. The systematic analysis used the Cochrane Collaboration. The themes of this article are 1) nurses’ knowledge about health promotion, 2) the meaning of health promotion, and 3) the implementation health promotion of cardiovascular disease prevention by nurses. The themes identified some categories, such as nurse responsibilities, the essence of health promotion, support and barriers, and health promotion’s method. The nurse’s perception of health promotion is the core of their work to decrease the prevalence of the cardiovascular disease. Keywords: cardiovascular disease, health promotion, nurses, primary health care
