Overview

A five-session nurse-led educational program significantly improved therapeutic adherence and quality of life in patients with heart failure.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on therapeutic adherence and quality of life in heart failure patients.
  • Quasi-experimental, longitudinal, prospective study design
  • Involved 42 patients at the National Cardiovascular Institute
  • Five in-person educational sessions delivered, with assessments using the Morisky-Green test and MLHFQ
  • Adherence improved from 47.6% at baseline to 83.3% post-intervention (p=0.001)
  • Quality of life in the 'good' category increased from 26.2% to 69.1% post-intervention
