To adapt a questionnaire that assesses knowledge about heart failure (HF) and self-care and to analyze its content validity and reproducibility for use in Brazil. The questionnaire was validated through translation, summary, back-translation, expert committee review, pretest and assessment of psychometric properties. The final version (14 questions) was applied at the university hospital to HF outpatients under multidisciplinary team care. Five questions showed total agreement; seven scored Kappa > 0.4; one Kappa = 0.4, and just one presented no agreement. A group of 153 patients within 1-4 years of outpatient followup was assessed (age 59±13, 61% male). In the knowledge assessment, right answers varied from 4 to 14 (average 9.9±2.1). Adaptación transcultural y validación de un cuestionario de conocimiento de la enfermedad y autocuidado para una muestra de la población brasileña de pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca Se tuvo por objetivo realizar la adaptación transcultural de un cuestionario que evalúa el conocimiento sobre la insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) y el autocuidado y analizar su validez de contenido y la reproductibilidad para uso en Brasil. Se trata de un proceso de validación constituido de traducción, síntesis, retrotraducción, revisión por comité de expertos, prueba piloto y verificación de las propiedades psicométricas. La versión final adaptada con 14 preguntas fue aplicada a pacientes con IC en acompañamiento en ambulatorio con el equipo multidisciplinar de un hospital universitario. Cinco preguntas presentaron concordancia total; siete obtuvieron coeficiente Kappa > 0,4; una obtuvo Kappa 0,4 y apenas en una pregunta no hubo concordancia. Se evaluaron 153 pacientes, edad de 59±13; 61% sexo masculino; mediana de tiempo de acompañamiento en el ambulatorio 2 (1-4) años. En la evaluación del conocimiento, los aciertos variaron de cuatro a 14, promedio 9,9±2,1. Concluimos que los resultados indicaron que este cuestionario fue validado para ser usado en Brasil.

“…Four studies that used the Heart Failure Knowledge questionnaire 6 identified similar findings: nurses had inadequate knowledge regarding dry/ideal weight, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), short-term dizziness, asymptomatic hypotension, and potassiumbased salt substitutes [6][7][8] . One study examined patient perceptions of heart failure selfmanagement education 9 and found that among 779 patients, 27.5% did not receive education about shortness of breath or fatigue; 26.2% about salty foods; 42.1% about monitoring daily weight; and 53.1% about limiting fluid intake.…”

Heart failure is a prevalent and costly condition. Patients with better self-management are less likely to be rehospitalized. To enhance students learning of nursing care of patients with heart failure, an online interactive heart failure module was developed and integrated into a medicalsurgical nursing course. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the integration of an online heart failure module improved baccalaureate nursing students' heart failure selfmanagement knowledge. A pretest/ posttest design was used to examine the effects of student knowledge of heart failure self-management following implementation of an online module.Among 235 students, significant improvement of heart failure self-management knowledge was observed (p < 0.05). The mean posttest scores ranged from 13.82 to 15.93. Students had problems mastering knowledge of weight monitoring, use of NSAIDS, symptoms to report to physicians, and potassium-based salt substitutes. These findings were similar to four studies examining nurses' knowledge of heart failure. Students and nurses have difficulty mastering similar heart failure education concepts. An additional strategy, such as simulated or case scenarios, needs to be developed to help nurses and nursing students master all key concepts of heart failure self-management.
