Health promotion in heart failure--a paradigm shift

Angela P Clark et al. Holist Nurs Pract. 2006 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

For people living with heart failure, levels of health exist along a continuum in correlation with the illness experience. A focus on health promotion rather than only disease or symptom management expands opportunities for self-care and presents an emerging paradigm shift in the care of people with heart failure. Results from 2 studies revealed that few health-promoting behaviors were reported by patients with heart failure until a focused intervention that emphasized health promotion as part of self-care was implemented.
