Abstract:
Patient education is recognized as a central component of heart failure care and reduces hospital readmissions. Nurses have an important role in providing patient education and modifying self-care behaviors. The aim of this article is to examine characteristics of educational interventions for heart failure patients, their measured outcomes and the role of nurses in providing education. We conducted a literature review of the last 10 years and considered 30 articles. Multisession motivational interventions, repeated over time and with different follow-up interventions seem to produce the best results. However, some aspects remain controversial.
