Education of patients with heart failure in homecare
Summary:
Background: Heart failure is one of the most common manifestations of cardiovascular disease in humans, leading to increased morbidity and mortality, low quality of life associated with health and suffering, and increased costs and burdens on health care systems. The management of patients with heart failure is primarily limited to hospital care, which is a barrier for many patients to access these services. However, home monitoring programs are a useful model of health care delivery for these patients, helping to involve patients in disease management and improve adherence to and compliance with disease management guidelines.
Aim: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions on the results of home care for patients with heart failure.
Methodology: The present study is a systematic review of the literature. The literature search for published studies was conducted through the online bibliographic databases PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and JAMA Network, with a publication date of later than 2010. The search terms used were: heart failure, education, intervention, home nursing, care. These search terms were performed in conjunction with the use of conjugates such as "OR" and "AND" on a case-by-case basis.
Results - Conclusions: The results of this systematic review suggest that home education programs for heart failure are an essential component of heart failure care models. Home training intervention and follow-up offer an interesting prospect that could potentially improve the quality of care, HRQoL, extend survival, and reduce the rate of hospitalizations, unscheduled emergency and re-admission visits, as well as the total cost of health care.
