effect of education based on collaborative care model on the self-efficacy of patients with heart failure

Background: empowering patients with heart failure plays a crucial role in managing and preventing the disease. enhancing patients’ self-efficacy through education based on the collaborative care model can significantly impact their empowerment skills, lifestyle, and disease management.objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions based on the collaborative care model in improving the self-efficacy of heart failure patients.methods: this randomized clinical trial involved 60 iranian patients with heart failure. we used convenience sampling to select the participants, who were then randomly divided into two groups: intervention and control. data collection was conducted using the cardiac self-efficacy scale (sullivan questionnaire). the intervention group received education based on the collaborative care model, while the control group received routine education for 3 months. both groups completed the questionnaire before and after the intervention in the intervention group.results: both groups were matched in terms of demographic variables. prior to the intervention, the intervention and control groups did not exhibit significant differences in their average self-efficacy scores (22.8±1.9 vs. 23.6±2.4) (p=0.056). however, following the intervention, the mean self-efficacy score in the intervention group was significantly higher compared to the control group (39.4±2.1 vs. 24.2±4.6) (p<0.001).conclusion: the findings suggest that implementing a collaborative care model in education may enhance self-efficacy in patients with heart failure. in other words, appropriate interventions can effectively improve the self-efficacy of these patients.
