About

This study was planned as a descriptive and correlational type study to reveal the effect of perceived uncertainty by heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ejection fraction on quality of life and self-care behaviors. In this study, which aimed to reach 122 inpatients with HF, the dependent variables were quality of life and self-care behaviors, the independent variable will be perceived uncertainty. Data will be collected by Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community Form (MUIS-C), Left Ventricular Disfunction Scale (LVD-36) and European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale (EHFSeBS). Data analysis will basically be done with Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA).

Full description

This study aims to reveal the effect of perceived uncertainty on quality of life and self-care behaviors in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction. This descriptive and correlational study will include 122 HF patients hospitalized in the cardiology department of a university hospital in northern Turkey. The sample size was calculated according to parameters based on the power of 90%, 95% confidence interval, error level of 0.05, effect size of 0.59. Data will be collected by Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community Form (MUIS-C), Left Ventricular Disfunction Scale (LVD-36) and European Heart Failure Self-Care Behavior Scale (EHFSeBS). Data analysis will basically be done with Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA).
