Description
Summary:Heart Failure (HF) guidelines recommend HF self-care education. An optimal method of educating HF patients does not currently exist. To evaluate the effectiveness of supplementing usual HF education with video education and evaluate patients’ satisfaction with video education. A mixed methods design was used. A convenience sample of 70 patients was recruited from an academic medical center. Participants completed the Atlanta Heart Failure Knowledge Test and the Self-care of Heart Failure Index before and after receiving video education, to measure HF knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-care respectively. Video usage and satisfaction with video education data were collected. All-cause 30-day readmissions data were compared to a historical group. HF knowledge and self-care maintenance scores increased significantly. Self-efficacy, self-care management and all-cause 30-day readmissions did not significantly improve. Most HF patients were highly satisfied. Supplementing usual HF education with VE was associated with improved HF knowledge and self-care maintenance.
