P0803 Self-Care Behaviour Analysis of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

The objective of the research was to evaluate quality of life and self-care agency among individuals with heart failure. Materials and Methods. The study sample consisted of 61 patients who were diagnosed with heart failure that occurred at least six months before we started our research, had no communication problems, were over 18 years old and were selected by random sampling method. The data were collected by the researcher using a face-to-face interview technique, a descriptive information form, the Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale, and the Self-Care Agency Scale. In the analysis of the data, numbers, percentiles, means, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient were used. Results. The patients’ average self-care agency score was 71.75 ± 33.66. The patients received the highest score on the subscale of bodily pain (46.76 ± 31.02) and the lowest score on the subscale of role limitations due to physical health problems (19.26 ± 32.40). The patients’ age and disease duration were found to affect their self-care. Some quality-of-life subscales were affected by the educational, occupational and socioeconomic status, age, disease duration. Conclusions. Patients’ quality of life was found to be low, and the level of self-care agency was found to be moderate. Patients’ quality of life can be improved by increasing the frequency of self-care trainings given to patients.

“…Patients may experience loss of control and productivity, fear of death, uncertainties about the future, changes in life plans and goals, changes in family and social circle relationships, and changes in economic situation.

Aim: This research aims to uncover the significance of adhering to the disease management guidelines for individuals suffering from heart failure, given its high prevalence and the consequential morbidity and mortality rates, as supported by the existing literature. Method: The article analyzed recent research studies on heart failure and CAD to determine the importance of patient compliance in disease treatment. The results were presented with statistics. Conclusion: Throughout the world, heart diseases are widely recognized as the primary cause of death and disability. These ailments can result in premature death, significant disability, and a substantial increase in healthcare expenses. Upon examining the factors that lead to the readmission of heart failure patients, it was discovered that non-compliance with physical activity, dietary recommendations, and drug therapy played a significant role. Patients' chances of recovery increase as they become more compliant with their treatment. To initiate the adaptation process, educating patients about their illness, considering their beliefs and values, evaluating their perspective on their health and the factors influencing it, and encouraging their involvement in treatment and care are crucial. It is worth noting that heart disease can be prevented with healthy lifestyle choices and nutrition or treated with a combination of medical intervention, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle changes post-diagnosis. Patients’ ability to afford self-care is crucial in maintaining a high quality of life following a diagnosis. Health professionals play a pivotal role in improving self-care behavior, a non-pharmacological approach that supports treatment, enhances the patient's quality of life and reduces the likelihood of repeated hospitalizations and financial strain. By identifying positive and negative beliefs surrounding patient compliance with treatment and focusing on the patient's attitude towards their treatment, health professionals can effectively enhance self-care behavior.
