Key result
Local dialect video storytelling increases heart failure self-care scores by ~22 points.
Why the study?
Poor self-care in heart failure increases the risk of disease deterioration and rehospitalization, and preliminary changes in self-care following a culturally tailored Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention needed to be explored.
Does a Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention improve self-care scores in patients with chronic heart failure?
Does a Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention improve self-care scores in patients with chronic heart failure?
In a small pre-experimental pilot study, a culturally tailored Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention significantly improved self-care scores among chronic heart failure patients.

Hypothesis-generating for culturally tailored storytelling in heart failure; prospective randomized trials needed before clinical adoption.
Background: Poor self-care among patients with heart failure increases the risk of disease deterioration and rehospitalization. Manado dialect-based video storytelling is a culturally tailored educational medium expected to improve patients' self-care abilities. Objective: To explore preliminary changes in self-care scores following a Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention among patients with heart failure in a pilot study. Methods: This pre-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design. A total of 20 patients with chronic heart failure were recruited using purposive sampling. All participants received a Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention. Self-care was assessed using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI). Data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean self-care score increased from 48.60 ± 7.61 before the intervention to 70.95 ± 5.28 after the intervention. The paired t-test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in self-care scores (t(19) = 12.23; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Manado dialect-based video storytelling was A statistically significant increase in self-care scores was observed following the Manado dialect-based video storytelling intervention. These preliminary findings warrant further evaluation through controlled studies with larger samples to establish the intervention's effectiveness.

Paat et al. (2026) studied Chronic heart failure (n=20). Manado dialect-based video storytelling vs. Pre-intervention baseline (one-group pretest-posttest) was evaluated on Self-care score measured by the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) (t(19) = 12.23, p=<0.001). Manado dialect-based video storytelling increased mean self-care scores from 48.60 to 70.95 in patients with chronic heart failure.
