Brief Summary:
The current study intends to examine the influence of nurse-led education on patients with chronic heart failure and their caregivers with the goal of optimizing care for both and improving patients39 clinical outcomes
Detailed Description:
Introduction Heart failure is a clinical syndrome with pandemic characteristics and its prevalence increases with age The development of self-care behavior by patients seems to be a crucial component for effective management and reduction of the disease39s impact Nurse- guided patient education has been associated with improved outcomes and the development of self-care behavior In recent years several studies have also focused on the contribution of informal caregivers to improving the outcomes of the disease Nurse-led education for both patients and their caregivers has been shown to enhance their caregiving skills leading to better disease management and beneficial outcomes
Purpose To investigate the impact of nurse-led education on patients with chronic heart failure and their caregivers aiming to optimize care for both and improve the clinical outcomes of patients
Methodology A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with the manipulation of independent variables and the creation of a control group Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups a the control group Group A receiving standard care based on the policies and protocols of primary health care b the first intervention group Group B receiving nurse-led education through oral sessions educational materials and regular phone calls and c the second intervention group Group C receiving the described nurse-led education while caregivers also undergo training through oral sessions phone calls and appropriately designed educational materials Greek versions of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire Hippocratic Hypertension Self-Care Scale and Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale will be used to assess quality of life self-care behavior and medication adherence For caregivers their quality of life caregiving burden and sense of guilt will be evaluated using Greek versions of the EuroQol ED-5 Heart Failure Caregiver Questionnaire and Caregiver Guilt Questionnaire respectively Measurements will be taken before patient and caregiver education initial meeting 1 month and 6 months after the initial meeting Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS version 26 and descriptive and inferential statistical analysis methods
Expected Results The proposed study is expected to highlight the contribution of nurse-led education in optimizing care for both patients and their caregivers Additionally this education is anticipated to lead to better clinical outcomes for patients with chronic heart failure
