About this study

The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of the educational intervention in the adhesion to therapeutic strategies for patients with heart failure.

Read the detailed description
  1. Characterize the socio-demographic and clinical aspects of heart failure patients;
  2. Awareness before and after nursing consultation, in relation to diet for heart failure, liquid and weight, general heart failure information, medication, physical activity, measures to improve disease control, signs of decompensated heart failure;
  3. Adhesion of patients before and after nursing consultation, related to medication, liquid and weight, use of alcohol and importance of returning for consultation and exams.
  4. Evaluated the impact of educational intervention at the levels of NT-proBNP, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, before and after nursing consultation;
  5. The 6 minute walk test performance before and after nursing consultation;
  6. The distance covered and time of the 6 minute walk test, until fatigue in heart failure patients before and after nursing consultation;

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adhesion-HFBehavioural

    The hypothesis that was investigated is whether the nursing consultation improves therapeutic strategies for membership, adherence to self-care, improved levels of NT-proBNP improves performance in 6-minute walk test, monitoring of biomarkers of laboratory tests (sodium , potassium, urea, creatinine and NT-proBNP) frequent occurrence of readmissions and mortality in patients with heart failure after 1 month.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ADHESION TO THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR OUTPATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE

    Verify the impact of the educational intervention in the adhesion to therapeutic strategies for patients with heart failure.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. changes in biomarkers: Nt-proBNP, sodium, potassium, urea and creatinine

    changes in biomarkers: Nt-proBNP, sodium, potassium, urea and creatinine before and after nursing consultation

    Measured: 1 month
