Heart failure self-care is vital to achieving clinical stability and improved health outcomes. Yet despite the attention it has been given, in both research and clinical practice, effective self-care remains elusive. It is recognised that there are many patient factors that impact on attaining effective self-care skills. Systematic research is warranted to resolve the knowledge gap of how patients process information and develop the necessary self-care skills. In addition, sound screening tools are needed to assess factors that hinder the development of effective heart failure self-care skills. In this manner, education and support strategies can be applied on an individualised needs basis to enhance health outcomes.
心力衰竭的自我护理对于实现临床稳定和改善健康结果至关重要。然而，尽管在研究和临床实践中都对其给予了关注，但有效的自我护理仍然难以实现。人们认识到，有许多患者因素会影响到有效自我护理技能的获得。有必要进行系统的研究，以解决患者如何处理信息并发展必要的自我护理技能这方面知识的差距。此外，还需要有可靠的筛选工具来评估阻碍有效心力衰竭自我护理技能发展的因素。通过这种方式，可以根据个人需求应用教育和支持策略，以提高健康结果。
