About this study

Official title: Effect of the PLAN CUIDARTE on the Caregiving Competence of People With Heart Failure: Implementation of the Research Protocol.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2021 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will be a public health problem, among them heart failure (HF), since this is a chronic disease, patients should be competent in their care. Despite the above, according to research conducted in Colombia, 59.7% of people with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have a level of care competence considered not optimal; patients report not having sufficient knowledge of the disease or experience feelings of lack of tools for the management of symptoms and the challenges of post-hospitalization.

The objective of the research is to determine the effect of the PLAN CUIDARTE on the caregiving competence of people with HF

Methodology: Pre-posttest randomized clinical trial, with blinding of the participants, where the intervention "PLAN CUIDARTE" is applied and the initial and subsequent caregiving competence is evaluated in the comparison group and in the intervention group for pretest - posttest and between-group comparisons.

The PLAN CUIDARTE addresses the specific educational needs of HF patients, as established by the patients with HF, as established by international accreditation standards.
