Summary
This study developed a heart failure (HF) discharge education program using the teach-back method (TBM). The program aims to improve self-management skills for HF patients post-discharge.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Patient Education
- Health Program Development
Background:
- Heart failure (HF) patients often struggle with self-management after hospital discharge.
- Effective discharge education is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing readmissions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive discharge education program for heart failure patients.
- To incorporate the teach-back method (TBM) into the program to enhance patient understanding and adherence.
Main Methods:
- The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model was employed for program development.
- Methods included EMR data analysis, systematic reviews, focus group interviews, expert validation, and pilot testing.
- Content Validity Index (CVI), understandability, and actionability were assessed.
Main Results:
- The developed program covers medication, symptom monitoring, diet, physical activity, and precautions.
- The program achieved a high overall Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.96.
- Patients and nurses reported high levels of understandability (90.2-94.6%) and actionability (86.8-91.3%) for the educational materials.
Conclusions:
- The TBM-based discharge education program is expected to significantly improve self-management in HF patients.
- The systematic development process provides a valuable framework for future research and clinical practice in HF patient education.

207
The first step in nursing management of a patient with heart failure involves thoroughly assessing the patient's medical history.Subjective Data: Obtain the patient's medical history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and symptoms like dyspnea, orthopnea, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.Objective Data: Conduct a physical examination to identify findings such as jugular vein distention, pulmonary crackles, tachycardia, murmurs, peripheral edema, and vital signs,...

Heart failure can be classified in various ways, with the most common classifications based on physical activity limitations, disease progression, severity, and treatment strategies.The Functional Classification of Heart Failure divides patients into four categories based on physical activity limitation due to symptom burden.Class I: Patients in this class have cardiac disease but no physical activity limitations. Ordinary activities like walking, climbing stairs, or routine tasks do not cause...

Additional therapies for treating patients with heart failure (HF) may include procedural interventions, supplemental oxygen, the management of sleep disorders, and nutritional therapy.Procedural InterventionsImplantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator: For patients at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias due to severe left ventricular dysfunction, an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) can detect and terminate these arrhythmias, preventing sudden cardiac death and improving survival rates.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
