Key result
Self-management scores in older patients with chronic heart failure peaked at 1 month after discharge but subsequently declined, with social support and self-efficacy identified as key influencing factors.
Why the study?
Previous studies on self-management in chronic heart failure in China were often cross-sectional, with few tracking self-management beyond 6 months after discharge.

Self-management behaviors in patients with chronic heart failure peak shortly after discharge and decline over time, highlighting the need for sustained interventions.
Ding et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Chronic heart failure (n=213). Post-discharge follow-up time vs. Baseline (during hospitalization) was evaluated on Self-management score (p=<0.001). Self-management scores in older patients with chronic heart failure peaked at 1 month after discharge but subsequently declined, with social support and self-efficacy identified as key influencing factors.
