Abstract: (151 Views)
Background & Aim: With advances in the treatment of acute conditions in heart patients, many patients move from an initial cardiac event to living a long life with chronic cardiovascular diseases. Given the evidence of positive and negative effects of nurse-led interventions, this systematic review was conducted to determine the impact of nurse-led home-based self-care programs on the quality of life in patients with heart failure.
Materials & Methods: All studies that examined the effect of nurse-led home self-care programs on the quality of life in heart failure patients were published in English or Persian without geographical restrictions and reviewed in various international electronic databases, including PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and reputable Persian sources SID, Irandoc, and Mag Iran, until the end of 2023 were assessed via the adapted CONSORT instrument.
Result: In the initial review, 163 out of 98,456 articles searched met the review criteria. After reviewing the title and abstract of the article and the study methodology and eliminating duplicates and incomplete articles, 57 articles were included in the study. Their results were analyzed as a percentage of the impact of nurse-led interventions on the quality of life of patients with heart failure.
Conclusion: Nurse-led self-care programs are an effective tool in managing heart failure, and developing comprehensive self-care programs that cover all physical, psychological, and social aspects of patients can have a positive impact on their quality of life.
