Does spirituality enhance self-care in individuals with heart failure?
Assessing spiritual needs and providing individualized support may enhance self-care in heart failure patients.
Spirituality serves as an inner resource that enhances HF self-care by providing personal meaning and self-transcendence, extending beyond traditional religious practices. Healthcare providers should assess the spiritual needs of individuals with HF and provide individualized self-care support that considers the social and cultural backgrounds that can enhance spirituality.
