“…Another finding of the study was that women reported a significantly higher mean than men. This finding was consistent with the results obtained in the study of Avazeh et al [13], Eimer et al [22], and Eknithiset [26]. Explaining this finding, we can point to the evolutionary structure of men and women.…”

“…The results of similar studies also indicate that the older the patient, the lower the level of self-care [21]. Similar results have been obtained in the Eimer study [22]. One of the reasons for this finding could be that with age, the rate of physical and mental illness in patient's increases, and this increases the rate of disability in the elderly.…”

“…Tabrizi et al [25], Bagheri Nesami et al [17] reported similar findings. However, Eimer et al concluded that self-care ability was not significantly associated with participants' education [22]. This difference can be explained by the fact that Eimer et al participated in the study of heart patients and the type of questionnaire used was different.…”

Background: Self-care ability is a determinant factor in managing the daily lives of the elderly. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate self-care ability in the elderly and related factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, elderly people admitted to educational and medical hospitals in Zanjan in 2021 were selected by convenience sampling and 175 people over 60 years old evaluated with questionnaire including demographic information and self-care ability scale for elderly. Mean (standard deviation), frequency (percentage) and independent sample t-test were used to analyze data in SPSS 23. Results:The mean (SD) score of elderly self-care in this study was 53.86 (1.41). The results showed that self-care ability is low in most participants (68%). Women have significantly higher self-care ability than men (P=0.018). With increased age, Self-care ability decreased (P=0.0001). In illiterate and lower educated people, self-care ability is significantly lower (P=0.0001), and also rural residents have significantly less self-care ability than urban residents (P=0.0001). Elderly people who were married (P=0.0001) and had a source of income (P=0.0001) had a better level of self-care. Conclusion: Self-care ability is low in most elderly people, and self-care ability is worse in men, illiterate people, and villagers and self-care ability decreases with increasing age. It is suggested that simple programs be developed according to the age and level of literacy of the elderly.

Introduction: Heart Failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome in which the heart is ventricular involved and unable to meet the body's metabolic demands. In Brazil, the main cause of rehospitalizations is due to difficulties in adhering to the therapy implemented. Objective: To provide evidence of nursing care for HF patients based on scientific publications. Method: This is an integrative review of the literature, developed from searches in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Web of Science and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases. To elaborate the guiding question, the PICo strategy was used. Thus, the following guiding question was defined: what does the scientific evidence available in the literature address about nursing care for patients with heart failure? Searches were limited to the period between 2018 and 2023, in the languages Portuguese, Spanish and English. Results: The final sample consisted of nine articles, out of a total of 2,579 initially listed. The studies were grouped by similarities, defining the following categories: Marjory Gordon and Callista Roy's models of care, health education, and the use of technologies in self-management and HF monitoring. Conclusions : This study made it possible to analyze what the scientific evidence addresses about nursing care for patients with HF. It has been demonstrated that further research is needed on this topic, since HF is prevalent in thousands of individuals around the world and that some of them do not fully understand the diagnosis, symptoms, self-care and the importance of treatment adherence.

Background: Noncompliance with treatment in the elderly with Heart Failure (HF) may result in a lack of recovery, a decrease in longevity, rehospitalization, and additional costs. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of self-care education on adherence to treatment among elderly patients with HF. Materials and Methods: This study was a parallel clinical trial on 90 elderly people over 60 years of age who were hospitalized in cardiac wards. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics form and the adherence to treatment questionnaire. Individuals who met the study inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group training was performed before and after discharge. The adherence to treatment questionnaire was completed again by both groups 2 months after discharge. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test; ex. (?2 = 3.95, df = 1, p = 0.046), paired and independent t-tests, and analysis of covariance. Results: The mean (standard deviation) total score of adherence to treatment in the intervention group was 39.71 (4.51) and 78.72 (10.47) before and after the self-care education, respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant difference in both groups after the intervention compared to before the intervention, and independent t-test showed a significant difference between the groups after the intervention (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Self-care education before discharge and home-based education were effective in promoting adherence to treatment among patients with HF. Therefore, self-care education before discharge may improve adherence to treatment among elderly patients with HF.
