Of almost 5.7 million Americans with heart failure, 80% are 65 years and older. Empowerment approaches facilitating recognition of personal and social contextual resources may improve well-being in this vulnerable population.
This research evaluated the feasibility of the Health Empowerment Intervention (HEI) in older adults with heart failure, including effects on health empowerment, purposeful participation, self-management, functional health, and well-being.
Twenty older adults with heart failure were randomly assigned to HEI or Attention Control conditions. The HEI consisted of 6 weekly sessions based on the Health Empowerment Theory. Outcomes were measured at baseline and at 6 weeks.
Feasibility of the HEI was supported; participants realized significant improvement in health empowerment and purposeful participation in goal attainment.ConclusionsThis research supports the feasibility of the HEI and provides a basis for continued evaluation.
在近570万患有心力衰竭的美国人中，80%的患者年龄在65岁及以上。增强权能方法有助于认识个人和社会背景资源，可能改善这一弱势群体的福祉。
本研究评估了健康增强干预（HEI）在老年心力衰竭患者中的可行性，包括对健康赋权、有目的参与、自我管理、功能健康和福祉的影响。
20名老年心力衰竭患者被随机分配到HEI组或注意力控制组。HEI包括基于健康赋权理论的6次每周课程。在基线和6周时测量结果。
HEI的可行性得到支持；参与者在健康赋权和有目的地参与目标实现方面实现了显著改善。
本研究支持HEI的可行性，并为继续评估提供了依据。
