Empowering heart failure patients: A mixed-method study on patient-centred nursing strategies to enhance self-care and daily functioning

Heart failure patients face significant challenges in managing daily activities due to physical limitations, emotional stress, and inadequate post-discharge care. This study investigates the impact of patient-centred nursing strategies on self-care ability and activities of daily living (ADLs) in heart failure patients. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews and quantitative data from 60 patients showed significant improvements in self-care (58.13%) and ADL independence (66.67%) in the intervention group. The findings demonstrate that tailored nursing interventions effectively enhance patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of holistic, patient-centred care. This approach reduces dependency and promotes overall recovery.
