the "Level of Resilience" Influencing Self-care in Heart Failure Patients

How Much the "Level of Resilience" Influences Self-care in a Group of Subjects Suffering From Heart Failure: Observational, Cross-sectional Study

Adaptation to the new health condition and self-care skills allow people to be able to adhere to the therapeutic treatment in the most correct way possible, but there are many cases in which subjects do not show adherence to it, and for this reason the risk increases to manifest acute complications and also to develop long-term ones
