Abstract Aims: To develop a smartphone application and investigate its effectiveness on patients with heart failure after using the "heart failure self-health management application.".

Design: The single-group pre- and post-test experimental design was adopted. Methods: This study used convenience sampling and the one-group pretest and posttest design as the research methods and developed the "heart failure self-health management application" using the Google cloud database and Web App. The research period was from July 1 to December 31, 2019, a total of 36 patients diagnosed with heart failure during hospitalization completed the pretest and posttest. This App (1) provides text and video heart failure self-care knowledge content; (2) enables users to record and browse blood pressure, heart rate, and weight; and (3) provides the data from the Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scale and Technology Acceptance Model.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The Development and Effectiveness of Heart Failure Self-Health Management ApplicationHeart Failure can cause physical disability and death. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there were 20,644 deaths from heart disease, ranking second among the top 10 causes of death [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has advocated nursing guidance with the concept of "empowerment", where patients can play an active and aggressive role in managing their health [2]. This paperless nursing health education guidance information can be designed through the application, which features non-professional expressions and visualization methods. The users can participate in feedback-based interactions and complete the questionnaires after receiving nursing guidance. This study used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate patients' acceptance of the nursing guidance application and the effectiveness of such nursing guidance.
