目的：测试分娩的可行性，并评估指导心力衰竭（HF）家庭管理计划对家庭照顾者的帮助。背景：针对家庭照护者提供指导的研究为数不多，但在心衰家庭照护管理和项目实施指导方面的内容有限。方法：本研究采用混合方法设计。在基线和干预后3个月比较照顾者负担、信心和准备程度。描述性统计用于总结项目成本和人口统计数据。采用内容分析的研究方法对方案的可行性和有用性进行评价。结果：干预3个月后，照护者（n = 10）负担得分显著降低，心衰家庭管理信心和准备的原始得分提高。对护理人员和护理人员干预后数据的内容分析发现，护理人员认为该计划很有帮助，并描述了他们如何根据该计划启动心衰管理技能。结论：该方案实施可行。这些结果表明，指导方案应进一步测试，以更大的样本量来评估其效果。(c) 2013爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Objectives: To test the feasibility of delivery and evaluate the helpfulness of a coaching heart failure (HF) home management program for family caregivers.Background: The few available studies on providing instruction for family caregivers are limited in content for managing HF home care and guidance for program implementation.Method: This pilot study employed a mixed methods design. The measures of caregiver burden, confidence, and preparedness were compared at baseline and 3 months post-intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize program costs and demographic data. Content analysis research methods were used to evaluate program feasibility and helpfulness.Results: Caregiver (n = 10) burden scores were significantly reduced and raw scores of confidence and preparedness for HF home management improved 3 months after the intervention. Content analyses of nurse and caregiver post-intervention data found caregivers rated the program as helpful and described how they initiated HF management skills based on the program.Conclusions: The program was feasible to implement. These results suggest the coaching program should be further tested with a larger sample size to evaluate its efficacy. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
