Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Self-care Maintenance in Patients
Time Frame: 3 months from the intervention
Self-care in HF patients will be measured with the Self-Care of HF Index V.6.2. Since this instrument has three separate scales, we considered as a primary outcome the score of the Self-care Maintenance scale. The Self-Care Maintenance scale has a score between 0 and 100 with higher score meaning better self-care. Self-Care Maintenance is considered adequate when the score is at least 70.
