Outpatient nursing support for self-monitoring in patients with chronic heart failure.

<h4>Background</h4>Early symptoms of worsening heart failure are difficult for patients to detect and manage, contributing to the high readmission rate for worsening heart failure. Thus, it is important to promote self-monitoring and to support patients in recognizing and interpreting th...

Thus, it is important to promote self-monitoring and to support patients in recognizing and interpreting their symptoms. This study aimed to explore the ways in which specialized nurses in the outpatient setting provide support for self-monitoring in patients with chronic heart failure in Japan.<h4>Methods</h4>This exploratory study adopted a qualitative study design. The participants were a convenience sample of five nurses certified in chronic heart failure nursing and one advanced practice nurse certified in chronic care nursing, all with experience in outpatient nursing in Japan. Data were collected from June 2017 to October 2017 through semi-structured one-on-one interviews and were analyzed using an established qualitative inductive method.<h4>Results</h4>The analysis identified seven themes describing the nursing support provided by the study participants. Among these were three themes describing different forms of direct support for self-monitoring: "Encourage patients to reflect on their own," "Support touching the body and developing body awareness," and "Support sharing the task." Two themes described practice perspectives: "Support self-monitoring that is not overly sensitive" and "Support connection with the patient's life." Two final themes described contextual factors in the outpatient care setting: "Struggling with constraints and powerlessness" and "Building a support system in the outpatient setting."<h4>Conclusions</h4>The findings provide a practice for nurses promoting self-monitoring in patients with chronic heart failure in the outpatient setting. The study findings inform and provide goals for the support of self-monitoring in patients with heart failure and also, suggest the need to establish a strong support system for outpatient care in Japan.Chinatsu TaniguchiNatsuko SetoYasuko ShimizuPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 7, p e0254019 (2021)
