Since the situation-specific theory of heart failure (HF) self-care was published in 2008, we have learned much about how and why patients with HF take care themselves. This knowledge used to revise update theory.The purpose this article describe revised, updated self-care.Three major revisions were made existing theory: (1) a new theoretical concept reflecting process symptom perception added; (2) each now involves both autonomous consultative elements; (3) closer link between processes...
Background: The Self-care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) is a measure self-care defined as naturalistic decision-making process involving the choice behaviors that maintain physiological stability (maintenance) and response to symptoms when they occur (management). In 5 years since SCHFI was published, we have added items, refined format maintenance scale scoring procedure, modified our advice about how use scores. Objective: objective this article update users on these changes. Methods:...
Many studies of heart failure (HF) self-care have been conducted since the last update situation-specific theory HF self-care.
Self-care is vital for successful heart failure (HF) management. Mastering self-care challenging; few patients develop sufficient expertise to avoid repeated hospitalization.To describe and understand how in HF develops.Extreme case sampling was used identify 29 chronic predominately poor or particularly good self-care. Using a mixed-methods (qualitative quantitative) design, participants were interviewed about self-care, surveyed measure factors anticipated influence tested cognitive...
Abstract Purpose: Aging is associated with losses in hearing and vision. The objective of this study was to assess whether aging also less ability detect interpret afferent physiological information. Design: A cross‐sectional mixed methods conducted 29 persons a confirmed diagnosis chronic heart failure at least 6 months duration. sample divided the median compare younger (<73 years) versus older (≥73 patients their symptoms. Methods: Shortness breath stimulated using 6‐minute walk test...
Heart failure (HF) places a disproportionate burden on ethnic minority populations, including blacks, who have the highest risk of developing HF and experience poorer outcomes. Self-care, which encompasses adherence to diet, medication, symptom management, can significantly improve However, self-care is notoriously poor in black populations.Because culture central development self-care, we sought describe practices sociocultural influences an population with HF.In this mixed-methods study,...
Most heart failure patients have multiple comorbidities.This study aims to test the moderating effect of comorbidity on relationship between self-efficacy and self-care in adults with failure.Secondary analysis four mixed methods studies (n = 114) was done. Self-care were measured using Self-Care Heart Failure Index. Comorbidity Charlson Parametric statistics used examine relationships among self-efficacy, self-care, influence comorbidity. Qualitative data yielded themes about explained...
Background: The Stroke Impact Scale 3.0 (SIS 3.0) is widely used to measure quality of life in stroke survivors; however, previous studies have not tested the original 8-factor structure scale. In addition, shown floor and ceiling effect weak reliability within Objective: aim this study was evaluate psychometric characteristics SIS 3.0, including its construct validity (factorial structure, concurrent contrasting group validity), effect, reliability. Method: A cross-sectional design 392...
Heart failure (HF) self-care is extremely challenging and few people master it. Self-care was defined as an active, cognitive process in which persons engage for the purpose of maintaining their health (maintenance) managing symptoms (management).To examine contribution attitudes, self-efficacy, cognition to HF management.In this mixed methods study, 41 individuals (63.4% male, 68.3% Caucasian, mean age 49.17 (10.51) years, 58.5% NYHA III, median ejection fraction 30%) were interviewed...
Self-care is an integral component of successful heart failure (HF) management. Engaging patients in self-care can be challenging.Fifteen with HF enrolled during hospitalization received a motivational intervention designed to improve self-care. A mixed method, pretest posttest design was used evaluate the proportion whom beneficial and mechanism effectiveness. Participants received, on average, 3.0 +/- 1.5 home visits (median 3, mode range 1-6) over three-month period from advanced practice...
Background/Objectives Frailty, characterized by low physiological reserves, is strongly associated with vulnerability to adverse outcomes. Features of frailty overlap those advanced heart failure, making a distinction between them difficult. We sought determine whether implantation left ventricular assist device ( LVAD ) would decrease frailty. Design Prospective, cohort study. Setting Five academic medical centers. Participants Frail individuals (N = 29; mean age 70.6 ± 5.5, 72.4% male)....
