Abstract | ||||
Self‐management is recognized as an effective approach for managing heart failure as it is associated with a variety of positive patient outcomes including improved quality of life, lower mortality rate, decrease hospitalizations, and health care costs as well. This study aimed to evaluate outcome of conducting self-management educational sessions on quality of life among patients with chronic heart failure. Method: A quasi experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study. A purposeful sample technique was used to select the study sample. Data collection tools: Two tools were used in this study: First tool consisted of 2 parts; Part I: Patient’s Demographic and Medical Data. Part II: Self-care of Heart Failure Index. Second tool was The RAND 36-Items Health Survey; also called 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). It was used to assess quality of life for the patients with chronic heart failure. Results: highly statistically significant differences were fund regarding the self-care behaviors among the studied patients before and after the implementation of the self-management educational sessions with P < 0.001. As well, there was a highly statistically significant relation between quality of life and conducting the educational sessions about self-management. Conclusion: This study concluded that, self-management had highly statistically significant effect on improving self-care behaviors and promoting the patient’s quality of life but with no statistical significance. Recommendation: The current study recommended that, self-management educational sessions could be helpful for patients with chronic heart failure to improve their quality of life. So, it is important to be included in the routine inpatient discharge plan. | ||||
