Key result
Tele-nursing served as a support resource for 16 patients with heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing a bond that stimulated naturalistic decision-making for self-care.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to describe factors of influence of telenursing on naturalistic decision making about self-care among individuals with heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Does telenursing influence naturalistic decision making about self-care in people with heart failure during COVID-19?
Telenursing provides emotional support and continuity of care that can positively influence self-care decision-making in heart failure patients after hospitalization.
Hypothesis-generating for tele-nursing in HF self-care; larger prospective studies needed before practice adoption.
OBJECTIVE: to describe factors of influence of telenursing on naturalistic decision making about self-care of people with heart failure during COVID-19. METHOD: this is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with 16 participants interviewed after hospitalization for decompensated heart failure. The data was collected using audio and video technology and submitted to content analysis, guided by the Situation-Specific Theory of Heart Failure Self-Care. RESULT: two thematic categories emerged from the analysis: Self-care as a decision-making process and Factors influencing decision-making, which describe tele-nursing as a support resource for people with heart failure, during changes in care in the pandemic period. CONCLUSION: it was possible to understand the relationship between telenursing and the establishment of a bond, in order to stimulate naturalistic decision-making by people with heart failure in their daily lives in a coherent way, leading to better health outcomes. HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Different barriers compromise the decision-making of people with heart failure.(2) Nursing theories can guide coherent self-care attitudes.(3) Continuity of care and a support network are necessary after hospitalization.(4) Emotional support for people with heart failure must go hand in hand with conventional treatment.(5) The bond through tele-nursing provides positive health outcomes.

Gondim et al. (2024) conducted an observational in heart failure (n=16). tele-nursing was evaluated on factors of influence of telenursing on naturalistic decision making about self-care. Tele-nursing served as a support resource for 16 patients with heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing a bond that stimulated naturalistic decision-making for self-care.
