Background: It is important to assess the self-care behavior of patients with heart failure. However, in Japan, there is no valid and reliable scale for this purpose. The European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale (EHFScBS) is used to measure the self-care behavior of heart failure patients. The purpose of this study was to translate the EHFScBS into Japanese and evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods and results: A convenience sample of 116 outpatients with heart failure completed the Japanese version of the EHFScBS. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the one-dimensionality of the scale. The Japanese version of the EHFScBS was significantly correlated with another scale, which was considered to evaluate the concept linked with the self-care behavior theoretically. These confirm its construct validity. Cronbach's alpha was 0.71, suggesting that internal consistency was satisfactory. Test–retest reliability was evaluated. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the scale was 0.69 and weighted kappa for individual items was 0.33–0.87, suggesting that test–retest reliability is adequate. Conclusions: The Japanese version of the EHFScBS was showed acceptable validity and reliability. It can be used to evaluate self-care behavior of Japanese patients with heart failure.

Background: Although incomplete understanding of heart failure and its signs and symptoms appears to be a barrier to successful self-care, there are few studies examining the relationship between self-care and levels of comprehensive understanding of heart failure and its signs and symptoms. Aim: To determine whether incomplete understanding of heart failure and its signs and symptoms is associated with self-care in heart failure patients who were recently discharged from the hospital due to heart failure exacerbation. Methods: Patients completed the nine-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior scale and questionnaire to assess knowledge of heart failure and its signs and symptoms. Three groups were formed by their different levels of understanding of heart failure and its signs and symptoms. Multivariable linear regression was used to determine whether these three levels of understanding groups predicted self-care after controlling for demographic and clinical variables. Results: Of 571 patients 22.1%, 40.1% and 37.8% had poor, moderate, and complete understanding, respectively. Compared with patients in the poor understanding group, patients in complete and moderate understanding groups were more likely to have better adherence to self-care activities (standardized β = −0.14, 95% confidence interval −3.41, −0.47; standardized β = −0.19, 95% confidence interval −4.26, −1.23, respectively). Conclusions: Fewer than half of the patients had a comprehensive understanding of heart failure and its signs and symptoms, which was associated with poor self-care. Our study suggests that patient education should include contents to promote comprehensive understanding of heart failure and its symptoms, as well as the importance of self-care behaviors.

ABSTRAKGagal jantung merupakan salah satu penyakit kardiovaskuler yang paling sering terjadi di seluruh dunia yang mengakibatkan tingginya angka mortalitas, morbiditas dan juga berdampak secara finansial terutama bagi lanjut usia. Rehospitalisasi merupakan masalah umum yang sering terjadi pada pasien gagal jantung yang sebagain besar disebabkan oleh keterlambatan dalam pengenalan gejala, pengobatan dan ketidakpatuhan diet serta kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam melakukan perawatan diri. Panduan penanganan gagal jantung menekankan pentingnya perilaku perawatan diri untuk menurunkan kekambuhan dan rehospitalisasi pada pasien gagal jantung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien gagal jantung yang mengunjungi poliklinik jantung di RSUD Panembahan Senopati Bantul. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif quantitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel berjumlah 74 responden yang merupakan pasien rawat jalan di poliklinik jantung pada bulan Juni hingga Juli 2018. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI), (skor ≥70 poin=adekuat). Uji statistik chi-square digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara factor sosiodemografi dengan perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien gagal jantung. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perilaku perawatan diri pada sebagian besar responden masih belum adekuat dengan frekuensi perilaku perawatan diri adekuat yang masih rendah (pemeliharaan: 45±13.1 (7.7%), pengelolaan: 46±20.4 (13.0%) dan kepercayaan: 69±16.5 (38.5%)). Hanya satu faktor yaitu penyakit penyerta yang berhubungan dengan perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien gagal jantung pada dimensi kepercayaan diri. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki perilaku perawatan diri yang tidak adekuat seperti juga pada negara-negara lainnya sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien gagal jantung. ABSTRACTHeart failure (HF) is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases in the world which associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and huge financial burden, particularly among aging population. Rehospitalization remain a concern in the care of the heart failure patient which largerly associated with delay in symptoms recognition, treatment, diet non-compliance and also lack of knowledge and skills in heart failure self-care. Guideline on HF emphasize the important of self care in preventing symptoms and hospital readmission. This study aims to describe self-care behavior in a sample of heart failure patients. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic sample of 74 in an out-patient heart clinic from June-July 2018. Self-care was measured using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI), (scores ≥70 points=adequate self-care). Chi-square test was conducted to test whether participant’s characteristics associated with self-care behavior among heart failure patients in three scales. The result shows that self-care was inadequate in most scales (self-care maintenance: 43.4±11.8, self-care management: 49.4±18.5 and self-care confidence: 68,6±14.5. Low frequencies of participants with adequate self-care also observed in the study (self-care maintenance: 5.4%, self-care management: 15.4%) and self-care confidence: 36.5%)). In self-care confidence subscale, higher scores of the SCHFI were associated with no comorbid conditions (p=0.01). None of the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the sample were associated with increased self-care in other 2 sub-scales. In conclusion, study shows that self-care in HF is inadequate, interventions aimed at improving self-care espescially in self-care maintenance sub-scale are greatly needed. Additional studies are needed to determine the best approach for this.

Background & Aim: Self-care in patients with heart failure can improve multiple outcomes and reduce mortality. Measuring self-care requires valid and reliable tools. This study aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the 9-items European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale. Methods & Materials: The present study is a psychometric evaluation. The original version of the tool was translated from English to Persian using the standard Backward-Forward method. The questionnaire's validity was assessed using face, content, criterion (the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index v.6 as a criterion), and construct validity.  An exploratory factor analysis approach was used to construct validity with a sample of 216 patients with chronic heart failure referred to Dr. Shariati and Imam Khomeini Hospital's heart clinics in Tehran; and Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by internal consistency and stability methods. Results: After the validation process (validity and reliability), all 9 items of the questionnaire were approved and remained. The content validity index of the total content of the questionnaire was calculated to be 0.96. Based on factor analysis, only one factor was confirmed for the questionnaire. The correlation between the present questionnaire and the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index v.6 was positive and significant (p<0.001, r=0.753). Internal consistency (α=0.728) and stability (0.897) of the questionnaire were also confirmed. Conclusion: The European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale is valid and reliable for measuring Iranian patients' self-care behaviors with heart failure.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of illness-related worries as a mediator among depression, anxiety and self-care in heart failure (HF) patients was the aim of this study.Design/methodology/approachThis study was descriptive and correlational study. In total, 149 patients with HF were selected for sampling in 2016. Patients completed self-care behavior scale, illness-related worries questionnaire and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaires. The Pearson correlation coefficient and Sobel test were also done.FindingsAccording to the analysis of the Sobel test, the role of illness-related worries as a mediator in the relationship between depression and self-care result was −5.37. Sobel test analysis was done to assess the role of illness-related worries as mediator between anxiety and self-care (6.66). The correlation between depression and self-care was 0.488 (p<0.01); correlation between anxiety and self-care was 0.4 (p<0.01); correlation between anxiety and depression was 0.79 (p<0.01); and the correlation between illness-related worries and self-care was 0.71 (p<0.01).Originality/valueIllness-related worries can serve as a mediator in the relationship among depression, anxiety and self-care. There was a significant correlation among the research variables. Therefore, educational programs to reduce depression, anxiety and increase self-care should be given priority to for HF patients.
