Background Heart failure is one of the most common chronic diseases and cardiac disorders, as well as a leading cause of death in adults. Therefore, patients with heart failure can improve their comfort, functional abilities, and disease management by acquiring training in self-care skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of self-care training on quality of life and re-admissions in patients with heart failure.
Methods In this quasi-experimental study, a comprehensive list of all patients diagnosed with heart failure in the Cardiology and CCU wards of Seyyed-al-Shohada Hospital in Urmia during 2023 was compiled. After random allocation of patients into control and intervention groups, the intervention was conducted. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results The difference in the mean total score of the quality-of-life questionnaire between the control and intervention groups after the intervention was significant (P = 0.004). Additionally, the frequency distribution of re-hospitalization differed significantly between the control and intervention groups (P = 0.046).
Conclusion The mean quality of life in the intervention group improved compared to the control group following the intervention. Delivering education in plain language—using training booklets, face-to-face instruction, social support, and family involvement—appears to assist in managing the psychological consequences of heart failure and in preventing re-hospitalization. Accordingly, integrating this essential training into the initial education of medical personnel may enable health system managers to take a meaningful step toward more effective implementation of the program, ultimately enhancing patients’ quality of life and reducing hospitalization rates among individuals with heart failure.
