Does a family partnership intervention improve self-care confidence and treatment self-regulation in patients with heart failure?
p-value: p=0.05
A family partnership intervention significantly improves self-care confidence and motivation for medication and diet adherence in heart failure patients compared to standard education or usual care.
Stamp et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in Heart failure (n=117). Family partnership intervention vs. Patient-family education or usual care was evaluated on Perceived confidence and treatment self-regulation (motivation) for medications and following a low-sodium diet (p=0.05). A family partnership intervention significantly improved self-care confidence (p=0.05) and motivation for medications (p=0.004) and diet (p=0.012) at 4 months compared to education or usual care.
