Summary: This study investigated the effects of a self-regulation programme on self-care behaviour in patients with heart failure. Results showed that the programme effectively improved self-care behaviours, especially in self-maintenance and self-management.

Summary: The self-care behavior of patients with heart failure is influenced by clinical and psychosocial factors. Low social support, absence of caregiver support, and depressive symptoms are the main factors contributing to impaired self-care. It is important to assess and intervene in self-care in patients with heart failure by conducting comprehensive psychosocial assessments.

Summary: Digital health offers opportunities for improving heart failure care, but patients and healthcare professionals need training and technological infrastructure. Heart failure care is being transformed by digital technologies, which have profound implications for patients, nurses, and doctors.

Summary: Self-care is a key part of treatment for patients with heart failure, according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. The Revised Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) is a new tool for assessing self-care in heart failure patients, with the Polish version showing reliability and validity. The study demonstrated that patients scored highest in self-care confidence and lowest in symptom perception.

Summary: Postoperative heart failure is relatively common in elderly patients with hip fracture, with risk factors including age, hypertension, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and duration of surgery. Peri-operative risk assessment and prevention of related risks are crucial for a good prognosis.

Summary: This study identified factors associated with subdimensions of self-care behaviors in South Korean patients with heart failure. Younger age, lack of heart failure education, poor physical function, poor sleep quality, and lower self-care confidence were significantly related to different subdimensions of self-care behaviors. Tailored interventions and educational materials based on unique self-care behavior patterns are needed for these patients.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between physical symptoms and self-care behaviors in Chinese heart failure patients with inadequate self-care behaviors. The results showed that patients with HF with poor self-care experienced more dyspnoea symptoms, and severe HF physical symptoms might serve as drivers for better self-care management in patients with inadequate self-care behaviors.

Summary: Depression, perceived stress, anxiety, and low social support are associated with poor self-care in hospitalized patients with heart failure. Patients with a combination of psychosocial problems, including symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and inadequate social support, may have difficulties with self-care that increase their risk for hospitalization. Further research on broad-spectrum psychosocial interventions is needed for heart failure patients with self-care deficits.

Summary: This study prospectively explored the relationship between symptom detection and self-care in patients with heart failure, identifying three distinct symptom detection groups: over-estimation, consistent, and under-estimation. While there were no significant differences in sample characteristics among the groups, there was also no relationship found between self-care and symptom detection.

Summary: The study aimed to translate the CC-SCHFI from English to Spanish and test its psychometric characteristics. Through exploratory factor analysis, relevant factors were identified in the self-care maintenance and monitoring subscales, and one factor was extracted in the self-efficacy subscale.

Summary: This study examined the relationships of person-related, problem-related, and environment-related factors to self-care behaviors in heart failure management. The results showed that better social support was directly associated with higher levels of self-care confidence, and higher levels of self-care confidence were associated with better self-care maintenance and self-care management. There was also an indirect relationship between social support and self-care behaviors through the mediator of self-care confidence.

Summary: In a long-term approach to the treatment of heart failure, self-care management and behaviors are essential for reducing rehospitalizations and unscheduled medical visits. A study involving 403 patients with chronic heart failure found that male sex, recent hospitalizations, and NYHA classifications were significant negative predictors of self-care behavior. Patients with optimal self-care behavior had fewer rehospitalizations and improved quality of life.

Summary: Hospital readmissions rate is a significant issue in healthcare systems, causing financial burden. This study uses machine learning-based survival analysis to evaluate the quality of care risk. Different survival models are applied to explore the risk of readmissions considering patient demographics and hospital discharges. Deep-learning models show effectiveness in estimating the quality of care risk.

Summary: Self-care is crucial in the long-term management of chronic heart failure, with the potential to improve quality of life and reduce mortality and readmission rates for patients. While guidelines offer general advice, healthcare professionals working with heart failure patients require more specific recommendations to effectively support their self-care practices.
