The process of self-care in patients with heart failure after nurse-assisted remote patient monitoring: A qualitative longitudinal approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective self-care, including symptom monitoring and treatment adherence, is essential for individuals with heart failure. It can enhance quality of life, improve survival, and reduce hospital admissions. The home is the primary setting where individuals with heart failure perform self-care. However, many struggle to recognize symptoms that indicate worsening of their condition. Remote patient monitoring allows nurses to track symptoms, weight, and blood pressure while supporting self-care behaviours that help prevent exacerbations. A clearer understanding of these interventions is needed, particularly regarding how they influence patients' views on self-care over time.

Objective

This study explored short- and long-term experiences of self-care among individuals
