Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to investigate the effect of individual and group self-care training on self-care behaviors and readmission in patients with heart failure.
Background. Teaching patients with heart failure plays an important role in achieving favorable treatment outcome, management of disease complications and reduction in readmission.
Method. This semi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test post-test design with a control group and follow-up on 75 patients with heart failure. In individual education group, educational intervention was done individually and in another experimental group, it was done in groups of 3-5 people in two sessions. In control group, routine training was delivered. Self-care behaviors were evaluated using the European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale (EHFScBs) at the beginning, and 30 and 90 days after discharge. The frequency of readmission was evaluated 30, 60 and 90 days after discharge. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 21 using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests.
Findings. Self-care behaviors in 30 and 90 days after the intervention showed a statistically significant difference between experimental and control groups (p=0.002 and p=0.027, respectively). Regarding the frequency of readmission, at the end of 30, 60 and 90 days after discharge, there was no statistically significant difference between groups.
Conclusion. Providing educational intervention (in individual and group forms) is recommended to improve self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure. The effect of these educational interventions on the frequency of readmission was not significant; therefore, it is suggested to conduct future studies with more samples and in a longer period of time.
