Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the predictors of self-care behaviors in individuals with heart failure. Method: A cross-sectional study including 405 patients with heart failure. Self-care behaviors were assessed by the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were investigated as predictors of self-care maintenance, management and confidence through logistic regressions. Results: The predictors of self-care maintenance were number of children (p<0.01), left ventricular ejection fraction (p<0.01), positive feeling about disease (p=0.03), obesity (p=0.02) and dialytic chronic kidney disease (p<0.01). The predictors of self-care management were having married children (p<0.01) and sleep apnea (p<0.01). The predictors of self-care confidence were family income (p<0.01), number of hospitalizations in the previous 12 months (p=0.01), number of daily medication doses (p<0.01) and sedentarism (p<0.01). Conclusion: Some predictors related to the self-care behaviors were found, so some intensified education and social aid should be aimed at patients with these specific characteristics.
