ABSTRACT Heart failure is a chronic disease whose therapeutic regimen must be carried out continuously in order to maintain circulation and minimize deterioration. The covid-19 pandemic has prevented heart failure patients from getting health services directly. Remote or virtual health services can be carried out for patients with heart failure in order to prevent the spread and transmission of Covid 19 and maintain quality of life. The purpose of this literature is to explain that health care for patients with heart failure can be done virtually. The research method used is narrative review using Google Scholar and pubmed as the database of articles. Article inclusion criteria are published during the COVID-19 pandemic, in Indonesian and in English, and a complete manuscript is available. The keywords used virtual care and heart failure and covid-19. The search results showed 1392 articles, but only 5 articles that matched the predetermined criteria and it was found that virtual health services for heart failure patients were recommended to be carried out in order to meet patient needs and prevent the spread and transmission of covid 19. The search results were expected to become information related to alternative health services for patients with heart failure during the pandemic and improve quality of life. Key Words — care, covid-19, heart failure, virtual health service

The prevalence of heart failure is high. More than 23 million patients worldwide and is believed to continue to increase to 46% in 2030. In America, the prevalence of heart failure is around 6 million patients per year. Meanwhile, heart failure in Asia is the highest in the world. To identify instruments for assessing patients with heart failure that used in Asia. This is a scoping review that follows the methodology of Arksey and O'Malley. We use 6 databases, namely Proquest, PubMed, EBSCO, Science Direct, ClinicalKey For Nursing, and Garuda. Articles in English and Indonesian were published between 2015 and 2020. We also did additional searches that met the inclusion criteria. Based on duplication, 2037 articles were left, then 1981 articles were screened. Then, 56 full-text articles were selected in the eligibility criteria, and the last 29 articles were selected for the synthesis. A total of 6 instruments were identified. We discussed the method, domain, and duration of assessments. The selection of instruments needs to be adapted to the epidemiological characteristics of the population. Keywords: quality of life; heart failure; scoping review; nursing care

Background: Sedentary behaviours may be related to factors such as self-efficacy, mood and social support. However, there is a paucity of longitudinal follow-up studies examining factors related to sedentary behaviour from physical-psychosocial perspectives in patients with heart failure. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore the multidimensional associated factors and impacts of sedentary behaviour in heart failure patients. Methods: A longitudinal design was used. A convenience sample of 128 heart failure patients recruited from two large medical centres in northern Taiwan was obtained. Patients were interviewed with structured questionnaires to assess physical activity, symptom distress, exercise self-efficacy, anxiety and depression, social support, sleep quality and quality of life before discharge and at 3 and 6 months after discharge. Results: Heart failure patients reported low physical activity and tended to be sedentary. Sedentary behaviour was gradually reduced from hospitalization to 6 months after discharge. Sleep quality, quality of life, analgesic use, symptom distress and exercise self-efficacy were significant associated factors that explained 42.1–51% of the variance in sedentary behaviour. Patients with high sedentary behaviour had significantly greater depression and poorer sleep and quality of life than those with low sedentary behaviour at hospitalization and showed a significant improvement in depression at 3 and 6 months after discharge. Conclusion: Sedentary behaviour is common in heart failure patients and has impacts on depression and quality of life. An appropriate physical activity programme focusing on disease self-management and enhancing self-efficacy is needed for heart failure patients to improve their sedentary behaviour and quality of life.

Background: Heart failure is an escalating health problem around the world. Despite significant scientific advances, heart failure patients experience multiple physical and psychological symptoms that can impact the quality of life. Aims: To determine the (1) symptom prevalence, severity, distress and symptom burden in patients with heart failure; (2) impact of age and gender on symptom prevalence, severity, distress and symptom burden; and (3) impact of symptom prevalence and symptom burden on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with heart failure. Methods: A convenience sample of 53 heart failure patients participated in this descriptive, cross-sectional design. Symptoms and HRQOL were measured using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale—Heart Failure and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Results: Patients experienced a mean of 15.1 ± 8.0 symptoms. Shortness of breath and lack of energy were the most prevalent. Difficulty sleeping was the most burdensome symptom. Lower age, worse functional status, total symptom prevalence and total symptom burden predicted 67% of the variance in HRQOL. Conclusion: Patients with heart failure experience a high level of symptoms and symptom burden. Nurses should target interventions to decrease frequency, severity, distress and overall symptom burden and improve HRQOL.

Introduction: The quality of life of patients with heart failure is influenced by several factors, one of which is spiritual factors. Tri Hita Karana (THK) is one of the concepts of the life order of the Balinese people, which basically teaches about maintaining harmony between humans and God (prahyangan), humans and humans (pawongan), humans with the environment (palemahan). This study aimed to determine the relationship between THK implementation on the quality of life of heart failure patients at Regional Hospital of Mangusada. Methods: A cross-sectional design study was used. In total 41 heart failure patients who visited Mangusada Hospital between April to May 2020, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used was the attitude and behavior implementation of THK and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). The Spearman rank test was used in this study. Results: There were a significant correlation between Tri Hita Karana's Implementation and Life Quality of Heart Failure Patients in Mangusada Regional Hospital with p-value (0.001), where p < α (0.05). Conclusion: The better the implementation of THK, the better the quality of life for patients with heart failure. The results of this study were expected to be used in providing education to patients by implementing THK to improve the quality of life for patients with heart failure.

As with all other chronic noncommunicable diseases, adequate health literacy plays a key role in making the right decisions in the treatment of heart failure. Patients with heart failure and a lower health literacy have a reduced quality of life. A cross-sectional study among 200 patients with heart failure was conducted at a state university hospital in Belgrade, Serbia. The European Health Literacy Questionnaire, HLS-EU-Q47, was used to assess health literacy. Quality of life was measured with the generic SF-36 and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Descriptive and analytical statistical analysis was applied. More than half of the respondents (64%) had limited health literacy. The lowest mean health literacy index (28.01 ± 9.34) was within the disease prevention dimension, where the largest number of respondents showed limited health literacy (70%). Our patients had a poorer quality of life in the physical dimension, and the best scores were identified in the emotional role and social functioning. Health literacy was highly statistically significant and an independent predictor of quality of life (physical, mental, and total quality of life). Improving health literacy can lead to better decisions in the treatment of disease and quality of life in heart failure patients.
