The experience of people living with heart failure in Ethiopia: A qualitative descriptive study
People living with heart failure in Ethiopia experience various symptoms. The impact of heart failure on various aspects of their lives, combined with the challenges they face while living with heart failure, significantly affect their health-related quality of life. Health care providers caring for these people need to understand their experiences and the impact on their daily life. Effective multimodal interventions are needed to reduce the impact of heart failure and improve health-related quality of life in this population.
