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: Heart failure (HF) patients who follow the treatment regimen and attend to symptoms before they escalate are assumed have better health-related quality of life (HRQOL) than those with poor self-care, but there few data available support or refute this assumption. Objective: The objective study was describe relationship between HF self-care HRQOL in older (≥65 years old) adults moderate advanced HF. Methods: Self-care measured using 3 scales (maintenance, management, confidence)...
BackgroundCaregivers play an important role in contributing to heart failure (HF) patients' self-care but no prior studies have examined the caregivers' contributions HF and potential determinants of contribution self-care.
Caregiver contributions (CC) to heart failure (HF) self-care maintenance (ie, CC maintaining HF stability) and management dealing with signs symptoms) improve patient outcomes, but it is unknown whether caregiver preparedness influences confidence mediates this process.We evaluated the influence of on mediating role confidence.This a secondary analysis MOTIVATE-HF study. Patients were 18 years or older, diagnosis in New York Heart Association classes II IV, who had insufficient did not have...
Compared with other chronic illness populations, relatively little is known about heart failure (HF) patient and caregiver spousal/partner dyads what effect dyadic interactions have on self-care.
The convergence of prevalence, cost, symptom experience, community setting, and informal caregiving in heart failure (HF) has profound implications for outpatient palliative care. majority HF patients depend on caregiver's assistance. Dyadic (patients caregiver) characteristics can complicate this Yet relatively little is known concerning dyadic characteristics' impact self-care. self-care involves routine, daily treatment adherence monitoring (self-care maintenance), response...
Treatment of heart failure (HF) is particularly complex in the presence comorbidities. We sought to identify and associate comorbidity profiles with inpatient outcomes during HF hospitalizations. Latent mixture modeling was used common comorbidities adult hospitalizations for from 2009 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (n = 192,327). Most discharges were characterized by "common" A "lifestyle" profile a high prevalence uncomplicated diabetes, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disorders obesity....
The Mutuality Scale (MS) is composed of four theoretically derived factors (love, shared pleasurable activities, values, and reciprocity), but this structure has never been confirmed. Also, research involving the patient's perspective on MS limited. In study, we tested factorial its reliability in stroke patients caregivers. Cross-sectional, with a follow-up after 15 days for test–retest reliability. A total 248 163 caregivers completed MS. Stroke their were enrolled 10 rehabilitation...
To examine and compare the psychometric properties of two common observational pain assessment tools used in persons with dementia.
Heart failure (HF) dyadic self-care science is advancing rapidly, as evidenced by recent theoretical work, literature reviews, and multiple empiric studies. Typologies, once considered archaic, are now viewed person-oriented classification systems that allow a whole-system view of information patterns. This particularly needed to understand complex tasks like HF self-care.The purpose this article review the initial conceptualization an care typology present advances in our thinking suggest...
