Key result
Chronic heart failure volume management falls into 3 profiles shaped by education, support, and self-efficacy.
Cross-Sectional (n=381)
No
This cross-sectional study identifies three distinct behavioral profiles for volume management among chronic heart failure patients, demonstrating that education level, disease duration, social support, and self-efficacy are key targets for personalized self-care interventions.

Aims: This study aimed to identify latent profiles of volume management behaviors among patients with chronic heart failure using latent profile analysis and to explore the factors influencing different behavioral profiles. Methods: A total of 381 patients with chronic heart failure were recruited through convenience sampling from the department of cardiovascular medicine at a tertiary hospital in Nanchang City, between December 2024 and May 2025. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, the Home Volume Management Self-Rating Scale for Patients with Chronic Heart Failure, the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale, and the Social Support Rating Scale. Latent profile analysis was conducted on the volume management behaviors of patients with chronic heart failure, and multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to examine the factors influencing the different latent profiles. Results: Three distinct latent profiles of volume management behavior were identified: "low capacity-vulnerable type" (39.9%), "high capacity-robust type" (15.5%), and "moderate capacity-dependent type" (44.6%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that educational level, duration of disease, social support, and self-efficacy were factors influencing the latent profiles of volume management behaviors in chronic heart failure. Conclusion: Overall, volume management behaviors in patients with chronic heart failure were suboptimal, with notable variation across different profiles. Tailored interventions based on these profile characteristics and influencing factors may enhance volume management abilities in this population.

Chen et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic heart failure (n=381). Sociodemographic and psychosocial factors (educational level, disease duration, social support, self-efficacy) was evaluated on Latent profiles of volume management behaviors. Volume management behaviors in chronic heart failure patients were classified into three latent profiles, with educational level, disease duration, social support, and self-efficacy significantly influencing profile membership.
