Heart Failure (HF) is a public health problem globally affecting approximately 6 million in the United States.
A tailored position statement was developed by the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN) and their Research Consortium to assist researchers, funding institutions and policymakers with improving HF clinical advancements and outcomes.
A comprehensive review was conducted using multiple search terms in various combinations to describe gaps in HF nursing science. Based on gaps described in the literature, the AAHFN made recommendations for future areas of research in HF.
Nursing has made positive contributions through disease management interventions, however, quality, rigorous research is needed to improve the lives of patients and families while advancing nursing science.
Advancing HF science is critical to managing and improving patient outcomes while promoting the nursing profession. Based on this review, the AAHFN is putting forth a call to action for research designs that promote validity, sustainability, and funding of future nursing research.
心力衰竭(HF)是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,影响着全球约 600 万人,其中约 600 万人影响着美国。
美国心力衰竭护士协会(AAHFN)及其研究联盟制定了一份定制的立场声明,以帮助研究人员、资助机构和决策者改善心力衰竭的临床进展和结果。
使用多种搜索词进行了全面审查,并以各种组合形式描述了心力衰竭护理科学方面的差距。根据文献中描述的差距,AAHFN 对心力衰竭的未来研究领域提出了建议。
护理通过疾病管理干预做出了积极贡献,然而,需要进行高质量、严谨的研究,以改善患者和家庭的生活,同时推进护理科学。
推进心力衰竭科学对于管理和改善患者的预后至关重要,同时也促进了护理专业的发展。基于这一综述,AAHFN 呼吁采取行动,倡导未来护理研究的有效性、可持续性和资金支持。
