Abstract

Introduction & Background: COVID-19 is a zoonotic disease that turned into a pandemic and claimed many lives. Futurology is a novel filed that is necessary for global development and helps prevent surprises during crises. The aim of the present study was to comprehensively review the measures presented in the context of futures research in cardiovascular complications. Methods: The present study is an integrated review of the articles related to futures studies in the post-COVID-19 era to garner relevant information in cardiovascular complications. In this study, the method proposed by Whittemore & Knafl was used, which consists of five steps: a) recognizing and specifying the goal, b) literature search, c) data evaluation, d) data analysis, and e) presenting the findings. Results: At this stage, the search retrieved 1753 articles. After reviewing the titles and abstracts, a considerable number of irrelevant or duplicated articles were excluded, and, finally, 21 articles entered the study. The findings of these studies were categorized in seven dimensions: physical outcomes, educational organizations, human resources outcomes (nursing), outcomes for rehabilitation nurses, outcomes for pharmaceutical companies, drug outcomes, and outcomes of vaccine production. Conclusion: According to this review, futures studies are scarce in the post-COVID-19 era; however, it is expected to draw a clear picture in the dimensions mentioned before we face and become surprised by future pandemics due to the lack of futurism and planning. In this way, countries can acquire necessary preparations to reduce death tolls caused by pandemics. © 2023, Venezuelan Society of Pharmacology and Clinical and Therapeutic Pharmacology.
