Abstract
- The article presents information on a study conducted to describe self-care in Italian adults suffering from heart failure, and to identify determinants of self-care. In the study, self-care of heart failure patients was measured by using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, which measures self-care maintenance and confidence. The study concluded that self-care is poor in Italian heart failure patients, and male gender and poor cognition are associated with poor self-care.
