A hospital transition intervention significantly improves medication adherence, self-efficacy, and quality of life in older adults hospitalized with heart failure.
Barnason et al. (2010) studied Heart failure (n=40). Hospital transition intervention was evaluated on Medication adherence (p=< .001). A hospital transition intervention for older adults with heart failure significantly improved medication adherence (p<0.001), self-efficacy (p<0.001), and HF-related symptoms (p=0.006).
