Innovating Heart Failure Care: Digital Education Enhances Self-Care Among Patients

Heart failure remains a major global health concern with significant mortality and morbidity. Effective self-care is essential for patients to manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and reduce hospitalizations. Researchers from Universitas Padjadjaran,Prof. Yanny Trisyani, SKp, MN., Ph.D. , Aan Nur’aeni, S.Kep.,Ners.,M.Kep., and Firman Sugiharto in collaboration with Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, conducted a quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of digital-based education for heart failure patients.

The study compared video education with traditional leaflet and booklet methods in 76 patients. Results showed that video education led to significantly better self-care behaviors, with a 37.7% influence on patient self-care improvement. These findings demonstrate that digital education is a practical, scalable tool to support heart failure management and patient empowerment.

This research highlights the Faculty of Nursing Universitas Padjadjaran’s commitment to advancing innovative nursing practices that directly improve patient outcomes and align with Sustainable Development Goal 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.
