Key result
Patient shared care decision making was positively correlated with heart failure self-care maintenance (r=0.65) and self-care confidence (r=0.52).
Why the study?
Are supportive relationships (shared care processes) associated with improved heart failure self-care maintenance and confidence in patients with heart failure?
Cross-Sectional (n=75)
Are supportive relationships (shared care processes) associated with improved heart failure self-care maintenance and confidence in patients with heart failure?
Effect estimate: r=0.65
Shared care processes, particularly decision making and reciprocity between patients and caregivers, are positively associated with heart failure self-care maintenance and confidence.

Shared decision-making may support HF self-care; leaves open whether targeting shared care processes improves outcomes in prospective trials.
Sebern et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure (n=75). Shared care (supportive relationships) was evaluated on Heart failure self-care maintenance and self-care confidence (r=0.65). Patient shared care decision making was positively correlated with heart failure self-care maintenance (r=0.65) and self-care confidence (r=0.52).
