The aim of the study was to determine the relevant aspects that need to be reflected in the standard operating room, which determines the procedure for teaching a patient with chronic heart failure to self-control. Results. It has been established that when preparing the training material, a nurse should pay special attention to the formation of the patient’s skill in a timely assessment of vital signs and self-control. Conclusion. Nursing organizers in their activities need to pay special attention to the formation of a bank of standard operating procedures governing the procedure for conducting the learning process, the level of quality in the provision of such an independent nursing intervention as patient education depends on this. In addition, on the one hand, it is a methodological document for a nurse, since it covers the main aspects of teaching a patient to self-control methods, and on the other hand, it is a teaching material for a patient, which he can independently use at home after discharge from the hospital.

Purpose: to study frequency of progression of chronic heart failure (CHF), to develop multifactorial models for evaluation of risk of progression, and measures of non-drug secondary prevention of CHF. Materials and methods. We included in this study 531 patients with functional class (FC) I–III CHF (FC I – n=254, FC II – n=255, FC III – n=22). Examination included clinical-instrumental, clinical-functional, and laboratory (with determination of NT-proBNP concentration) investigations, use of the AUDIT and Morisky Green questionnaires. Results. Rate of CHF progression for 24 months was 11.7 % (FC I – 16.1, FC II – 7.8, FC III – 4.5 %). Irrespective of FC significant factors of CHF progression were history of myocardial infarction, and low adherence to treatment. Additional prognostic criteria of increase of CHF FC I to FC II were age >74 years, excessive body mass, disturbance of carbohydrate metabolism, arterial hypertension, and frequent intake of alcohol. FC II CHF progression was associated with such factors as type 2 diabetes, 3‑degree arterial hypertension, permanent atrial fibrillation, and smoking. Using these prognostic criteria, we developed multifactor models, based on which scales for assessing the risk of FC I and II CHF progression were created. These models demonstrated high accuracy of prognosis and good reproducibility (on independent test samples of patients with CHF FC I and FC II prognostic accuracy was 86.3 и 85.5 %, respectively). We also developed a program of secondary non-drug prevention of CHF progression,  with inclusion of structured dynamic education of patients with organization of control and self-control of knowledge quality. After this therapeutic education progression CHF in high risk patients was 2.2 %. Conclusion. Complex application of scores for evaluation of risk of FC I–II CHF progression and the program of secondary non-drug prevention determined lowering of frequency of increases of class of CHF severity from 11.7 to 2.2 %.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) remains a common cause of disability. We have investigated the use of home-based telecardiology (HBT) in CHF patients. Four hundred and twenty-six patients were enrolled in the study: 230 in the HBT group and 196 in the usual-care group. HBT consisted of trans-telephonic follow-up and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, followed by visits from the paramedical and medical team. A one-lead ECG recording was transmitted to a receiving station, where a nurse was available for reporting and interactive teleconsultation. The patient could call the centre when assistance was required (tele-assistance), while the team could call the patient for scheduled appointments (telemonitoring). The one-year clinical outcomes showed that there was a significant reduction in rehospitalizations in the HBT group compared with the usual-care group (24% versus 34%, respectively). There was an increase in quality of life in the HBT group (mean Minnesota Living Questionnaire scores 29 and 23.5, respectively). The total costs were lower in the HBT group (107,494 and 140,874, respectively). The results suggest that a telecardiology service can detect and prevent clinical instability, reduce rehospitalization and lower the cost of managing CHF patients.

Objective To observe the effect of continuous nursing intervention on exercise tolerance and rehospitalization rate in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods 134 patients with chronic heart failure admitted to our hospital were divided into two groups, routine nursing intervention group (control group) and continuous nursing intervention group (observation group), with 67 cases in each group. The resting and peak heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the two groups were recorded. The change of 6min walking distance, modified European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale (EHFSCB-9) and quality of life (SF-36) of the two groups were compared before and after intervention, and moreover, rehospitalization rate of heart failure of two groups 6 months after discharge was compared between the two groups. Results: Before intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, there was no significant difference in resting and peak HR, SBP and DBP between the two groups and those before intervention (P>0.05). Further comparison between the two groups showed that there was no significant difference in resting and peak HR, SBP and DBP between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). After intervention, 6min walking distance and SF-36 scale scores (role physical, physiological function, physical pain, energy, health status, social function, mental health and emotional function) were increased in the two groups (P<0.05). Further comparison between the two groups showed that 6min walking distance and SF-36 scale scores (except somatic pain score and role physical score) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the EHFSCB-9 scores in the two groups decreased gradually after intervention (P<0.05). Further comparison between the two groups showed that the EHFSCB-9 scores in the observation group (except low salt diet score and taking medicine based on doctor's advice score) were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The rehospitalization rate of heart failure within 6 months after discharge was 11.91% in the observation group, significantly lower than 25.37% in the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Continuous nursing intervention can strengthen the self-care ability of patients with chronic heart failure, improve exercise tolerance and quality of life, and reduce the rehospitalization rate to heart failure within 6 months.

<p><strong>Objective</strong><strong>:</strong> To analyze the application value of comfort nursing intervention in senile chronic heart failure nursing. <strong>Methods:</strong> The 120 heart failures discharged from our hospital in 2018 and 2019 were selected. The changes in nursing satisfaction, specialty nursing quality indicators and the incidence of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients were compared and analyzed between the two groups. <strong>Results:</strong> The average satisfaction degree of the two groups was 97.48% and 97.22% respectively, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P&lt;0.05). The correct rates of acute left heart failure in the two groups were 99.56% and 98.13%, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P&lt;0.05), and two groups of patients with cardiac Ⅲ class above intake control accuracy was 99.95% and 99.99%, and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P&gt;0.05), and the incidence of pressure ulcer was 0.18‰ and 0, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Comfort nursing intervention has achieved good nursing satisfaction and clinical effect in elderly patients with heart failure.</p>
