Implication
Facilitates standardized self-care assessment in HF programs; extends validated tools for future trials.
Key Points
- To develop and evaluate a valid, reliable, and practical instrument for assessing self-reported self-care behaviour in patients with heart failure.
- Designed and psychometrically evaluated a standardized measurement scale focused on self-reported self-care actions.
- Assessed the instrument's validity, reliability, and feasibility for clinical and research applications.
- Demonstrated that the developed instrument is valid, reliable, and practical for measuring heart failure self-care behaviours.
- Established the scale's readiness for evaluating outcomes in heart failure management programmes targeting lifestyle and self-care changes.
