If a decrease in hospital readmissions and a reduction in the length of hospital stays as well as an improvement in the general health and quality of life in patients with congestive heart failure can occur with an educational process, then efforts in this direction should continue and be constantly improved. There is no magic formula in helping patients learn. The success of the teaching will depend on the individual patient's ability, willingness, and understanding, but it also depends on the ability, knowledge, imagination, and effort put forth on the part of the nurse teacher. Organizing group classes and employing pre-printed instructions and information, instead of on-the-spot written instructions by each individual teacher, are ways to enhance the success of the teaching as well as increasing interest on the part of the patients. Although these methods were not discussed by this author here, their use needs to be explored.
如果通过一个教育过程能够实现降低充血性心力衰竭患者的再次住院率、缩短住院时间以及改善患者的总体健康状况和生活质量，那么就应该继续朝着这个方向努力并不断改进。帮助患者学习并没有什么神奇的方法。教学的成功取决于个体患者的能力、意愿和理解程度，但也取决于护士教师所付出的能力、知识、想象力和努力。组织小组课程以及采用预先印制的指导和信息，而不是由每位教师当场手写指导，是提高教学成功率以及增加患者兴趣的方法。尽管本文作者在此未讨论这些方法，但仍需探索其用途。
