Content validation of an heart failure self-care program for hospitalized patients: a modified e-Delphi study
The validated self-care program offers a comprehensive framework for managing heart failure during hospitalisation with a focus on early intervention. The components that should integrate it and enhance self-care skills are awareness, engagement, hope, knowledge about the disease and treatment, self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management. It equips nurses with effective tools to promote self-care and further studies are planned to test its clinical effectiveness.
