Overview
Brief Summary
This study was planned as a randomized, controlled, experimental study to evaluate the effects of transtheoretic model-based education on self-care, drug compliance and quality of life in patients with heart failure. The number of samples required for the study was determined by the power analysis made in the GPower 3.1 package program. Assuming that there may be losses in follow-up and considering that non-parametric tests can be performed, the research group will consist of a total of 72 people, 36 in each group, with an increase of 20%. Patients with heart failure who do not have communication barriers to affect cognitive functions, can use tele-health applications (Smartphone and application), volunteers aged 18 and over and agree to participate in the study will be included in the intervention and control groups. The data of the study, "Socio-demographic Characteristic Data Form", "Question Form Regarding the Disease", "European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviors Scale-12", "Beliefs About Medication Adherence Scale," in which socio-demographic characteristics and information about the disease were questioned. (IUHIO)'' and ''Minnesota Life with Heart Failure Questionnaire''.
Detailed Description
The patients in the intervention group will be trained through tele-health practices for at least 25-30 minutes on a transtheoretical basis, every 2 weeks in the 1st month and once a month in the following months. Tele-health applications include phone monitoring, SMS notification and application applications. Educational topics based on model-based self-care behaviors; It will include regular exercise, nutrition-weight monitoring, fluid intake-edema control, smoking cessation, regular drug use, regular rest, vaccination. Educational principles will be shared with patients by SMS from time to time during the education process. Treatment compliance levels and self-care behaviors of both groups of patients will be re-measured from the first week to the 6th month after the training, and any difference will be analyzed using statistical methods.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviors Scale
Time Frame: Baseline-6 months
The scale includes recognizing symptoms such as edema and weight gain, dyspnea, and fatigue associated with heart failure; It consists of 12 questions to measure self-care behaviors such as applying to a doctor and nurse for these symptoms, regular use of drugs, use of fluid and salt, treatment such as diet and exercise regimen and self-care behaviors such as weight monitoring and edema monitoring.
Secondary Outcomes
- Medication Compliance Notification Scale(Baseline-6 months)
- Minnesota Life with Heart Failure Survey(Baseline-6 months)
- New York Heart Association classification (NYHA)(Baseline-6 months)
