Summary
A new home-based nursing model helps heart failure (HF) patients manage their condition and prevent hospitalizations. This personalized approach was found practical and acceptable for both patients and nurses.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Nursing
- Health Services Research
- Patient Self-Management
Background:
- Heart failure (HF) management requires effective patient support and self-management strategies.
- Home-based nursing interventions are crucial for preventing HF exacerbations and re-hospitalizations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and verify the feasibility of a personalized home-based nursing intervention model for heart failure patients.
- To support HF patient self-management and reduce hospital readmissions.
Main Methods:
- A nursing intervention model was developed based on prior studies, literature reviews, and evidence-based guidelines.
- Qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews with nurses and patients assessed practicality and acceptability.
Main Results:
- The study involved five nurses and five heart failure patients.
- Findings indicated the model's framework, assessment, and intervention content are practical for home nursing visits.
Conclusions:
- The developed home-based nursing intervention model is feasible for supporting heart failure patients.
- The model's content was revised for broader usability by visiting nurses, including those with less cardiovascular experience.

173
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,...

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.

73
Assessment: Nursing management of patients with cardiomyopathy begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's history, including a family history of cardiomyopathy or sudden cardiac death, personal history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and any alcohol consumption or drug use.During the physical examination, assess vital signs, look for signs of heart failure (such as edema, jugular venous distention, and cyanosis), auscultate for abnormal heart sounds (like murmurs and gallops),...

01:30Heart Failure IV: Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation
72
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...

A comprehensive nursing assessment is essential for patients with valvular heart disease, which involves any dysfunction of the heart valves that could impact blood flow and overall heart function.Subjective Data Collection:Chief Complaint and Present Illness: Start with the patient's primary concerns, focusing on the onset, duration, and progression of cardiac symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, and palpitations.Past Medical History: Collect detailed information on any previous...
