Detaljerad beskrivning
Heart failure is a chronic condition associated with frequent hospitalizations, poor self-care behaviors, psychological distress, and reduced quality of life. Patients with heart failure often experience depression and inadequate self-management after hospital discharge, which may negatively affect treatment adherence and clinical outcomes.
Transitional care programs have been developed to improve continuity of care and support patients during the transition from hospital to home. Structured transitional care interventions may enhance patients' self-efficacy and self-care abilities while reducing depressive symptoms.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of a structured transitional care program on depression, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the usual care group. The intervention group will receive a structured transitional care program in addition to usual care, whereas the control group will receive usual care only.
Outcomes including depression, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors will be measured before discharge and at 1 and 3 months after discharge using validated assessment instruments.
