Mediators of the Association Between Cognitive Function and Self-care Behaviors in Patients Hospitalized With an Exacerbation of Heart Failure

CONCLUSIONS: Both HF knowledge and self-care confidence mediated the association of cognitive function with self-care maintenance, and only self-care confidence mediated the association between cognitive function and self-care management. Interventions targeting HF knowledge and self-care confidence may improve self-care even for those with lower cognitive function and need to be developed and tested.PMID:38099586 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000001066
