About

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model on the attitudes, beliefs, and symptoms of heart failure patients towards their disease. Planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model has positive effects on the attitudes, beliefs, and symptoms of heart failure patients towards their disease.

Full description

This study, which evaluated the effects of planned visual education based on the Health Belief Model on the attitudes, beliefs, and symptoms of patients with heart failure towards their disease, was conducted with 110 heart failure patients. The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study conducted on two groups as intervention (n = 55) and control group (n = 55). The study was conducted between September 2021 and March 2022 at Manisa Celal Bayar University (MCBU) Hafsa Sultan Hospital Cardiology Polyclinic. Simple randomization method was used in assigning the sample group to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using "the Patient Identification Form", "the Health Belief Model Scale - Heart Failure" and "Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale - Heart Failure".
