Impact of a Nurse-Led Heart Failure Program on All-Cause Mortality

Abstract

Our nurse-led HFP was independently associated with improved survival among patients with decompensated heart failure. Further research is required to confirm this finding.

Influence of socio-demographic characteristics in the self-care of people with heart failure

“…Using this approach, nurses may become able to understand the complexity of individuals with decompensated HF and develop actions to encourage education for self-care (6) . The programs of nursing care for patients with HF can reduce the frequency of hospitalizations and improve the patients' adherence to treatment and also their quality of life (7) .…”

Revascularização Miocárdica: Referência E Contrarreferência Do Paciente Em Uma Instituição Hospitalar

“…Nurses can enhance this counter-referral process, considering that in the PHC a favorable effect of nurse-centered health centers on all-cause mortality and infarction was evidenced, with increased adherence to medications in patients with cardiovascular disease and adherence to treatment. 29 Also, in a systematic review of nursing interventions for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events, there was a beneficial impact in patients with coronary artery disease or heart failure. 30 An expanded hospital continuity of the care program for primary health care strengthened the partnerships among patients, physicians, nurses, and other hospital and PHC health professionals.…”

What impact do specialist and advanced-level nurses have on people living with heart failure compared to physician-led care? A literature review

“…The 12 studies were published between 2008 and 2019 and involved a total of 3887 participants from nine countries: Australia, Brazil and USA (two studies each), Germany, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand, UK (one study each). Six were RCTs (de Souza et al, 2014;Driscoll et al, 2014;Jaarsma et al, 2008;Ko¨berich et al, 2015;Mulligan 2008;Ortiz-Bautista et al, 2018) and six were quasi-experiments (Bdeir et al, 2015;David et al, 2015;Driscoll et al, 2011;Lowery et al, 2012;Rhiantong et al, 2019;Sauer et al, 2010).…”

“…A majority of studies (n ¼ 8) examined specialist and advanced-level nursing functions such as titration of b-blocker medications alone (Driscoll et al, 2011;Driscoll et al, 2014) or in combination with other medications (Ortiz-Bautista et al, 2018;Lowery et al, 2012), coordinated discharge and transitional care (David et al, 2015;Rhiantong et al, 2019), patient telephone follow-up (Bdeir et al, 2015;Jaarsma et al, 2008;Ko¨berich et al, 2015;Lowery et al, 2012), and patient education (Bdeir et al, 2015;David et al, 2015;de Souza et al, 2014;Ko¨berich et al, 2015;Lowery et al, 2012;Ortiz-Bautista et al, 2018). Four studies also examined the effectiveness of home visits (de Souza et al, 2014;Driscoll et al, 2011;Driscoll et al, 2014;Jaarsma et al, 2008), and one study tested nursing diagnoses of HF severity (Sauer et al, 2010).…”
