Key result
In HF patients with mild cognitive impairment, factors including HF knowledge, race, disease severity, social support, age, and education explained 19-22% of the variance in self-care domains (P<.001).
Cross-Sectional (n=125)
p-value: p=< .001
In hospitalized heart failure patients with mild cognitive impairment, adequate heart failure knowledge does not translate to adequate self-care, which is influenced by factors including social support, disease severity, age, and race.

Self-care remains inadequate despite HF knowledge in MCI; hypothesis-generating for targeting social support and severity.
Davis et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure with mild cognitive impairment (n=125). Predictors (HF knowledge, race, disease severity, social support, age, education) was evaluated on Self-care maintenance, management, and confidence scores (p=< .001). In HF patients with mild cognitive impairment, factors including HF knowledge, race, disease severity, social support, age, and education explained 19-22% of the variance in self-care domains (P<.001).
