Eight of 10 people use the Internet to find health information. Considering the prevalence of heart failure (HF), there are many websites dedicated to patient education, disease management, and symptom prevention of HF. However, some of these websites may not offer accurate and up-to-date information. The purpose of this project was to evaluate websites for use by patients with HF by examining their credibility using Health on the Net standards, content, and readability. Based on the evaluations, 5 websites were identified for use in patient education. All of the websites included essential content on HF, had an average reading level between the eighth and ninth grades, were easily navigated, and offered another supplement to reading such as an audio version. These 5 websites could be recommended by advanced practice nurses and other nurses in the emergency department to patients who want to learn more about HF.
十分之八的人通过互联网查找健康信息。鉴于心力衰竭（HF）的患病率，有许多网站致力于心力衰竭患者教育、疾病管理和症状预防。然而，其中一些网站可能无法提供准确和最新的信息。本项目的目的是通过使用健康网标准、内容和可读性来评估其可信度，从而评估供心力衰竭患者使用的网站。基于这些评估，确定了5个网站用于患者教育。所有这些网站都包含心力衰竭的基本内容，平均阅读水平在八年级到九年级之间，易于浏览，并提供如音频版本等阅读补充。急诊科的高级执业护士和其他护士可以向希望更多了解心力衰竭的患者推荐这5个网站。
