Key result
Higher self-efficacy and lower depression are inversely associated and both play a crucial role in promoting self-care behaviors among patients with heart failure.
Why the study?
How do self-efficacy and depression impact self-care in patients with heart failure?
How do self-efficacy and depression impact self-care in patients with heart failure?
This integrative review highlights that higher self-efficacy and lower depression are associated with better self-care in heart failure patients, suggesting that interventions boosting self-efficacy may improve self-care behaviors.
May warrant screening self-efficacy and depression to support heart failure self-care; confirms associations but leaves open intervention effects.
Although the importance of self-efficacy and depression are mapped out in previous research; there is a lack of clarity about associations between self-efficacy and depression to self-care, and potential implications for nursing care. The purpose of this review was to identify the association between self-efficacy and depression and how it affects self-care in the HF population.
