To improve patient support, it is important to understand how people view and experience Heart Failure (HF) self-care. This systematic review of qualitative studies included all published studies that examine the influence of sex and gender on HF self-care. A systematic search was done for papers (1995-2010) indexed in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Medline, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid PsycINFO, CSA Sociological Abstracts, OVID AARP Ageline, EBSCO Academic Search Complete, EBSCO CINAHL, EBSCO SocINDEX, ISI Web of Science: Social Sciences Citation Index and Science Citation Index Expanded, and Scopus. After screening of 537 citations, six qualitative studies identified that differences existed in perceptions of symptoms with women having less family involvement and psychosocial support around self-care. Moreover, women had considerably more negative views of the future, themselves and their ability to fulfill social self-care roles. Women with HF represent a highly vulnerable population and need more support for psychosocial wellbeing and self-care.
为了改善患者支持，了解人们如何看待和体验心力衰竭（HF）自我护理非常重要。这项对定性研究的系统综述包括所有研究 HF 自我护理中性别影响的已发表研究。系统检索了 1995 年至 2010 年在 Ovid MEDLINE、Ovid Medline、Ovid EMBASE、Ovid PsycINFO、CSA 社会学摘要、OVID AARP Ageline、EBSCO 学术搜索完整、EBSCO CINAHL、EBSCO SocINDEX、ISI Web of Science：社会科学引文索引和科学引文索引扩展以及 Scopus 中索引的论文。在筛选了 537 条引文后，确定了六项定性研究，这些研究表明，女性对症状的认知存在差异，她们在自我护理方面的家庭参与度和心理社会支持较少。此外，女性对未来、自身和履行社会自我护理角色的能力有更负面的看法。HF 女性代表着一个高度脆弱的人群，她们需要更多的支持来促进心理社会幸福感和自我护理。
