Influence of Health Education Based on IMB on Prognosis and Self-Management Behavior of Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

Self-management theories, models and frameworks in patients with chronic heart failure: A scoping review

AIM

The aim of this study was to synthesize the self-management theory, model and frameworks of patients with chronic heart failure, focusing on construction process, methods and existing problems.

BACKGROUND

Although the self-management theories have been created and verified for those patients with chronic heart failure, no reviews have been performed to integrate these theories.

DESIGN

A scoping review of recent literature (without a date limit) was conducted.

METHODS

A comprehensive literature search was performed. If the study reported the construction of a self-management theory, model or framework about chronic heart failure cases, it would be included in the review.

RESULTS

Fourteen studies were included, which could be categorized into situation-specific theory, middle-range theory and other theory models (including conceptual model, hypothetic regression model and identity description model). It also includes the update and validation of theories, the situation-specific theoretical of caregiver contributions extended from situation-specific theories and the nurse-led situation-specific theory in different contexts.

CONCLUSION

Self-management might contribute to start an education programme before patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) begin their chronic disease live as an individual. Our scoping review indicates that a series of self-management theories, models and frameworks for CHF patients have been developed, but more studies are still needed to validate and support these theories according to their cultural contexts.

Effects of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care on mood and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure

BACKGROUND

With the intensification of social aging, the susceptibility of the elderly population to diseases has attracted increasing attention, especially chronic heart failure (CHF) that accounts for a large proportion of the elderly.

AIM

To evaluate the application value of health concept model-based detailed behavioral care in elderly patients with CHF.

METHODS

This study recruited 116 elderly CHF patients admitted from October 2018 to October 2020 and grouped them according to the nursing care that they received. The elderly patients who underwent health concept model-based detailed behavioral care were included in a study group (SG; n = 62), and those who underwent routine detailed behavioral nursing intervention were included as a control group (CG; n = 54). Patients’ negative emotions (NEs), quality of life (QoL), and nutritional status were assessed using the self-rating anxiety/ depression scale (SAS/SDS), the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Ques-tionnaire (MLHFQ), and the Modified Quantitative Subjective Global Assessment (MQSGA) of nutrition, respectively. Differences in rehabilitation efficiency, NEs, cardiac function (CF) indexes, nutritional status, QoL, and nursing satisfaction were comparatively analyzed.

RESULTS

A higher response rate was recorded in the SG vs the CG after intervention (P < 0.05). After care, the left ventricular ejection fraction was higher while the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and left ventricular end systolic diameter were lower in the SG compared with the CG (P < 0.05). The post-intervention SAS and SDS scores, as well as MQSGA and MLHFQ scores, were also lower in the SG (P < 0.05). The SG was also superior to the CG in the overall nursing satisfaction rate (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Health concept model-based detailed behavioral care has high application value in the nursing care of elderly CHF patients, and it can not only effectively enhance rehabilitation efficiency, but also mitigate patients’ NEs and improve their CF and QoL.
