Using Data

Background: Self-care for patients with heart failure includes engaging in behaviours that maintain medical stability and manage problematic symptoms, as well as the confidence in one’s ability to carry out such behaviours. Given the social context of self-care behaviours in heart failure, there has been increasing interest in social support as a predictor of self-care. Aim: The goal of the present study was to examine the role of social support in self-care across time for persons with heart failure. Methods: Using data from an observational study of patients with chronic heart failure ( n = 280), we examined the role of three types of support – instrumental support, emotional support and assistance with self-care – in the longitudinal course of self-care maintenance, management and confidence. Self-report questionnaire data were collected at baseline and at three and six months later. Results: We found that instrumental and emotional support predicted better self-care confidence on average and that self-care confidence improved at a faster rate for those with less instrumental support. Emotional support was positively associated with self-care management and self-care confidence, and assistance with self-care was positively associated with self-care maintenance. Conclusion: These findings highlight the contribution of social support to self-care in heart failure and provide guidance for future family-based interventions to improve self-care.

Education Process

The most important objective of heart failure (HF) treatment is to reach and preserve patients' clinical stability. Several studies have shown that programs aimed at systematic education, developed by multidisciplinary teams, are positive strategies to work with these patients. Nurses active in HF clinics play a fundamental role in the educational process and continuity of patient care. The objectives of these processes are to teach, reinforce, improve and constantly evaluate patients' self-care abilities, which include weight monitoring, sodium and fluid restrictions, physical activities, regular medication use, monitoring signs and symptoms of disease worsening and early search for medical care. Therefore, education to understand HF and the development of self-care abilities are considered key points to improve adherence, avoid decompensation crises and, consequently, to maintain patients clinically stable. This article presents a careful review of the aspects involved in the patient education process by nurses in the context of HF clinics.

Introduction: Self-care is recognized as a means for improving outcomes of heart failure (HF), yet studies have not addressed what predicts successful self-care in collectivist cultures like Lebanon. Methodology: Self-care was measured, using the Arabic Self-Care of HF index, in 100 participants with HF (76% males; mean age 67.59) recruited from a tertiary medical center. Results: Self-care was suboptimal, with mean scores of 67.26, 66.96, and 69.5 for self-care maintenance, management, and confidence. Better HF knowledge, social support, and self-care confidence and lower New York Heart Association score predicted better self-care maintenance. Better knowledge, social support, and self-care maintenance, no recent hospitalization, and being unemployed predicted better self-care confidence. Better self-care confidence, maintenance, and HF knowledge predicted better self-care management. Discussion: HF self-care in Lebanon is suboptimal. Nurses need to identify facilitators of and barriers to self-care particular to this population. Interventions targeting HF knowledge, confidence, and caregiver support are expected to improve self-care in Lebanese patients.
