Key result
Application of the COM-B model resulted in a final comprehensive list of 28 barriers and 49 appropriate behavior change techniques to potentially enhance heart failure self-care.
Why the study?
Existing heart failure self-management interventions show substantial inconsistency in effectiveness, partly due to a lack of theoretical models underpinning intervention development.
The COM-B behaviour model successfully guided the identification of 28 barriers and 49 behaviour change techniques to improve adherence to heart failure self-care.

Informs theory-based HF self-care intervention design; leaves open clinical effectiveness pending prospective trials.
Whittal et al. (2020) studied Heart failure (n=39). COM-B behaviour model was evaluated on Identification of barriers and appropriate behaviour change techniques. Application of the COM-B model resulted in a final comprehensive list of 28 barriers and 49 appropriate behavior change techniques to potentially enhance heart failure self-care.
