Why the study?
Does a 1-hour, nurse educator-delivered teaching session at hospital discharge improve clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure?
Does a 1-hour, nurse educator-delivered teaching session at hospital discharge improve clinical outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure?
A 1-hour nurse-delivered discharge education session improves clinical outcomes and adherence while reducing costs in systolic heart failure patients.
May support nurse-led discharge education in systolic HF; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
The addition of a 1-hour, nurse educator-delivered teaching session at the time of hospital discharge resulted in improved clinical outcomes, increased self-care measure adherence, and reduced cost of care in patients with systolic heart failure.
