Implementing Evidence-Based Motivational Interviewing Strategies in the Care of Patients with Heart Failure
Motivational interviewing (MI) has positive effects on heart failure patient outcomes related to self-care. MI can be effectively used by the interprofessional team in the hospital and clinic settings, and it can be effective even in brief patient interactions. The spirit of MI uses collaboration, evocation, and honoring the patient ’s autonomy. Open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarization are skills used to build empathy and elicit change talk with the MI framework. Clinicians can consider obtaining feedback to improve their practice of MI techniques for enhanced efficacy in helping heart ...

Transition to Practice
Implementing healthy work environment standards helps to improve the care environment for nurses and patients. These standards were used as a framework during a nurse resident-led evidence-based practice project. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement team collaborated with the nurse residents throughout the evidence-based practice project to design a fast-track patient selection checklist and give input into a care protocol for their cardiac telemetry unit.

Role of Telemedicine in Improving Guideline-Directed Medical Treatment for Patients with Heart Failure During a Pandemic
Guideline-directed medical treatment (GDMT) is the mainstay of treatment for patients with heart failure (HF). Despite compelling evidence, patient and provider adherence to these guidelines remains low. This is mostly due to the complexity of the GDMT regimen and the competing comorbid conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has further complicated the initiation and maintenance of GDMT and overall care for patients with HF. Telemedicine will erase many of the barriers to appropriate HF care that were present before, during, and long after the COVID-19 pandemic has ended.

Depression and Heart Failure Assessment, Treatment, and Interventions to Improve Self-Care Behaviors
Many people with heart failure also have untreated depression. Because depression can lead to worse self-care and increased morbidity and mortality for patients with heart failure, identification and treatment are essential. Nurses in clinic and inpatient settings are uniquely positioned to implement depression screening and advocate for evidence-based treatment for heart failure patients with depression. Treatments may include pharmacologic therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, including cardiac rehabilitation, and social support. Adequate screening, treatment, and education by nurses have the potential to im...

Educating Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students in Leadership Strategies Needed for Care Management and Disease Management for the Heart Failure Patient Population
During Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program education, student nurses are introduced to topics such as patient care across health care settings, health promotion, research, safety and quality, technology, and leadership in the health care system. As one of the most common diseases in the population, heart failure (HF) is covered throughout the BSN curriculum. There are various educational strategies used by nursing schools to ensure BSN students possess the necessary leadership skills and are prepared for providing HF patient care in care management settings. Strategies include active learning education delivery mo...

Setting a Benchmark for Quality of Care
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established therapy for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. The evolution of technology and procedural approaches has facilitated the development of streamlined clinical pathways to optimize patient care and improve outcomes. The revision of historical practices and the adoption of contemporary best practices throughout patients ’ journey from referral to discharge create opportunities to drive quality improvement. Nursing expertise and leadership are essential to recalibrate preprocedure, periprocedure, and postprocedure practice to transform the way we care for T...
