A Delphi survey among 19 healthcare professionals established expert consensus for a Heart Failure Exacerbation Symptom Response System, with final Item-Content Validity Indices exceeding 0.78 for over 95% of items.
A 3-round Delphi survey among 19 healthcare professionals established expert consensus and content validity for a Heart Failure Exacerbation Symptom Response System to facilitate early detection of worsening heart failure.
Background: Heart failure re-hospitalization often results from inadequate self-management. We developed a Heart Failure Exacerbation Symptom Response System to facilitate early detection regardless of professional experience.
Sano et al. (Fri,) conducted a other in Heart failure (n=19). Heart Failure Exacerbation Symptom Response System was evaluated on Item-Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and Scale-Content Validity Index/Average (S-CVI/AVE). A Delphi survey among 19 healthcare professionals established expert consensus for a Heart Failure Exacerbation Symptom Response System, with final Item-Content Validity Indices exceeding 0.78 for over 95% of items.
