Evaluation of an intervention to individualise patient education at a nurse‐led heart failure clinic: a mixed‐method study

Abstract

The method is simple and cost-effective and could be a way to improve the patient education and facilitate person-centred care.

Person‐centred discharge education following coronary artery bypass graft: A critical review

“…Individualised care encompasses direct or indirect care with a healthcare provider between the patient or patient and significant other using a combination of formats and can be delivered in a range of settings such as hospital, community or in the patients' home or convalescence residence. Arguably, the individualised approach encourages engagement with the individual to facilitate the development of a suitable and person-centred method of patient education that can empower patients in self-care (Ross, Ohlsson, Blomberg, & Gustafsson, 2015). Whilst it is generally understood that pre-op education is effective, it is, however, reliant on the method of delivery.…”

“…Fredericks and Yau () defines this by articulating the detail of how education is communicated as “the communication of information to enact change in health‐related quality of life, hospitalisations, mortality, performance of specific health related behaviours, and cognition during the post‐hospital discharge recovery period following cardiovascular surgery.” Individualised care encompasses direct or indirect care with a healthcare provider between the patient or patient and significant other using a combination of formats and can be delivered in a range of settings such as hospital, community or in the patients’ home or convalescence residence.

Orientações de enfermagem voltadas para o autocuidado de pessoas com insuficiência cardíaca

“…A literatura apresenta que um dos principais determinantes para a adesão terapêutica correta é a compreensão da condição, visto que desconhecimento é a principal barreira cognitiva para a adesão do autocuidado e das mudanças dos hábitos 25 . As pessoas com insuficiência cardíaca podem apresentar inúmeros questionamentos acerca da condição, podendo não compreender como a mesma se relaciona etiologicamente com o estresse e/ou hábitos de vida inadequados 26 . Torna-se necessária a utilização de mecanismos que propiciem uma compreensão efetiva e adequada de todos os aspectos pertinentes à condição pelo paciente e acompanhante 27 .…”

Areas for quality improvements in heart failure care: quality of care from the patient's perspective

“…Studies regarding patients’ perception of HF care have described that patients were dissatisfied with healthcare professionals’ inability to coordinate between hospital and community teams and also to deal with complex medications and to help relieve symptoms . The perception of quality of care in patients with HF has also been studied in educational interventions , management programmes , clinical pathways , palliative care and how quality of inpatient care relates to hospital readmissions . To our knowledge, there are few studies measuring the quality of HF care from the patient's perspective in an outpatient setting.…”
