Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the effect of video-assisted training on the quality of life and symptom management of patients over the age of 65. The main questions it aims to answer are:
-Is there a difference between symptom management and quality of life between the first and last follow-up periods of patients in the application and control groups?
Detailed Description
Heart failure is the primary disease of old age. 20% of the reasons for hospital admission for patients aged 65 and over are due to heart failure.The most common symptoms in patients with heart failure are; fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, edema and changes in mental status.Due to these physical symptoms; there is a decrease in the functional capacity of patients, difficulty in performing daily life activities, inability to perform self-care, and the incidence of depression and anxiety increases. In symptom management of patients with heart failure; these include knowing the clinical course of the disease, adapting to the disease and treatment, monitoring symptoms, educating the patient on self-care, and regular follow-up after discharge.It is stated that with patient education given to individuals in a planned and regular manner, the frequency and severity of the symptoms experienced decreases, the management and control of the disease is ensured, and thus the patient's quality of life is increased by creating the necessary behavioral changes.Due to the increase in the number of internet users in patient education, web-based education becomes more prominent.Thanks to video training, patients will be able to experience a permanent learning process by accessing the training content wherever they want, as often as they want.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale
Time Frame: Three months
It measures the presence, frequency and severity of seven basic symptoms, such as dyspnea during the day, dyspnea when lying down, fatigue, chest pain, edema, sleep problems, dizziness or dizziness, which are the most common in heart failure patients, and the degree to which each of these symptoms affects the patient.When the patient expresses the "zero" option, this indicates that the patient does not have the relevant symptom. To calculate each symptom, all values given by patients for frequency, severity and discomfort are added together. The scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0-84.
Secondary Outcomes
- Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire(Three months)
