Abstract

Background: Heart Failure (HF) guidelines recommend HF self-care education. An optimal method of educating HF patients does not currently exist.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of supplementing usual HF education with video education and evaluate patients' satisfaction with video education.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: Supplementing usual HF education with VE was associated with improved HF knowledge and self-care maintenance.

Keywords: Heart failure; Knowledge; Patient education; Readmissions; Self-care; Self-efficacy.
