Tóm tắt

Chronic heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalizations, impaired quality of life, and increased socioeconomic burden. Adequate disease awareness and effective self-care are key factors in improving prognosis and reducing hospital readmissions. A crosssectional descriptive study was conducted from January 1 to May 31, 2025, involving 200 patients. The tools used included the Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scale (DHFKS), a qualityof-life questionnaire, and a self-care assessment. Results: 66% of patients were aged ≥60 years, 94.5% had health insurance, and 78.5% resided in urban areas. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) accounted for 73.5%, significantly higher among patients aged ≥60 years (78.8%, p = 0.026). Hypertension (91%) and dyslipidemia (77%) were the most common comorbidities. A total of 78% of patients demonstrated good knowledge of heart failure. Regarding self-care behaviors, most adhered to a low-salt diet and regular weight monitoring, though physical activity remained suboptimal. Dyspnea and lower limb edema significantly impacted quality of life. When symptoms occurred, patients commonly contacted healthcare providers. Conclusions: The majority of outpatients with chronic heart failure demonstrated good disease awareness; however, improvements in self-care practices and multidimensional support are needed to enhance quality of life and reduce disease burden.
