Do educational interventions improve care provision for residents living with heart failure in nursing homes?
Educational interventions in nursing homes show potential to improve heart failure care by enhancing staff knowledge and confidence, though evidence remains limited and implementation is complex.
May support piloting staff education in nursing homes; leaves open the need for rigorous trials to confirm effectiveness.
There is a paucity of evidence around educational interventions to support residents living with heart failure in nursing homes. However, available evidence suggests that educational interventions in nursing homes may improve care through improving staff self-efficacy and confidence in providing care, heart failure knowledge and interprofessional communication. The complexity of implementing educational interventions in the nursing home setting must be considered during the development process to improve implementation, effectiveness, and sustainability.
