Abstract
Objectives: To study the effect of a self-regulation program on knowledge and self-care behaviors among heart failure patients at the outpatients department. Methods: Quasi-experimental research, the sample group was heart failure patients, divided into an experimental and a control group, 21 patients per group. The research instruments consisted of 2 parts: the experimental instrument, which was the self-regulation program, and the data collection instruments, which were the general characteristics questionnaire, the clinical data form, the self-care knowledge test, and the self-care behavior questionnaire of heart failure patients. The content validity index (CVI) of the self-care knowledge test and the self-care behavior questionnaire was .88. The reliability of the self-care knowledge test using the Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) was .70, and the reliability of the self-care behavior questionnaire using the Cronbach alpha coefficient was .80. Data analysis used descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and comparison of differences by t-test. Results: The experimental group that received the self-regulation program had significantly higher mean scores of self-care knowledge and self-care behaviors (p < .001), and had significantly higher mean scores of self-care knowledge and self-care behaviors than the control group (p < .05). Conclusion: Relevant agencies should promote the use of self-regulation programs for heart failure patients to provide them with self-care knowledge and better self-care behaviors. The outcomes will help them have a better quality of life.
