Recommended: Self-efficacy literature review

The impact of educational in-home videos on self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure has not been well studied. Veroff and colleagues (2012) conducted a study that included a Living with Heart Failure DVD and accompanying booklet to assess whether or not in-home videos would increase self-care in patients with heart failure. It was concluded that the DVD and booklet had a positive impact on patient’s self-care behaviors. Patient educational aids in DVD format are a more economical form of disease management, delivery compared to in-person, clinician led programs. Having a DVD and booklet is less costly and puts a lasting source of evidence-based information directly in the patient’s hands. The average cost of a multidisciplinary …show more content…

Self-efficacy theory was developed by Albert Bandura in the 1970s. This theory explores the person’s awareness of their abilities. Bandura’s model says there are 3 factors that influence self-efficacy: behaviors, environment, and personal or cognitive factors. They all affect each other. Self-efficacy develops from mastery of experiences in which goals are achieved through perseverance and overcoming obstacles and from observing others succeed. Therefore, the ability to learn and master objectives may influence aspirations, level of motivation, and overall accomplishments (Bandura, …show more content…

A provider’s overall perception of their knowledge related to heart failure may influence their willingness to teach the principles needed for the patients, leading to either a better or poorer outcome for the patients. In contrast, if the provider believes himself or herself to have mastery of the heart failure principles, they will be more willing to share this knowledge, which will result in better outcomes for the patients. The same is true with the patient’s self-care knowledge. If the patients are knowledge about their self-care needs the outcomes will be better. In contrast, if they lack the knowledge their outcomes will be poor, which will lead to increased hospital

    The systematic review indicated (1) ‘Case management interventions were associated with reduction in all-cause mortality at 12 months follow up, but not at six months’. (Takenda, et al, 2012) The systematic review also went on to state that while case management interventions were not associated with reduced mortality, case management interventions were indicated to reduce the occurrence of patients presenting to hospital with exasperations of chronic heart failure. The benefits of case management based interventions were apparent after 12 months had lapsed. Six of the twenty five studies assessed (2) heart failure clinics, and the evidence for this intervention was less convincing with the review stating ‘there was no real difference in all-cause mortality, readmissions for HF or between patients who attended a clinic and those who received usual care’. (Takenda, et al., 2012)

  • Reducing 30-Day heart failure hospital readmission

    I believe knowledge is an important factor to empower the patients about heart failure care and nurses spend nearly 24 hours a day with hospitalized patients; therefore, nurses can be patient advocates by reinforcing teaching. Most importantly, I believe that catering to the patient’s individual needs and establishing a good nurse-patient relationship enhances trust and learning which in the long run, is very beneficial to both nursing practice and the quality of life of the patient. Overall, what I discovered about heart failure is that there is no simple solution in preventing heart failure hospital readmission. Even with the recommended evidence-based practice suggestions, hospital readmission rates for HF still seem to remain high throughout the country.

  • What are the Most Effective Heart Disease Prevention, Onset and Intervention Methods

    3393 Words  | 7 Pages

    As opposed to the 19th century where the prevalence of preventable infectious disease was the leading cause of mortality, we face a new challenge today: decreasing the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and strokes. Overwhelmingly so, cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in the United States. This can be attributed to the state of poor psychological health and poor behavioral choices promoted by a variety of biological, psychological, and social influences. A healthier lifestyle is linked to a longer lifespan and better quality of life for an individual, so in order to promote a healthier lifestyle the dangers and risks of everyday life must be recognizable and approachable. Current questions I want to answer is; What is the most effective heart disease prevention, onset, and intervention methods? Looking through the biopsychosocial model scope is useful because it is a recent and practical framework to implement and operationalize.

    The article defines Self-Efficacy (SE) as a person belief in his/her ability to perform a particular behavior successfully. Researcher suggests mothers’ self-efficacy (MSE) can be directly linked to the increase or decline of a child language development (Albarran & Reich, 2013). This theory is explored by observing 2 factors, perceived barriers and parents’ knowledge and exposure to reading material concerning child development. There are 3 barrier discussed in these article’s. Parent centered barrier looks at the particular situation that would prevent or in decrease a parent from interacting with a child i.e. being too tire, having to work, or just being too busy. Child –centered barriers focus on the child lack of interest in any particular task i.e. being fussy, tired or just not being interested. The last barrier is structural; this particular barrier looks at environment factor that should possible effect (MSE) i.e. nosy back ground, and little exposure to reading material (Lin, Reich, Kataoka, & Farkas, 2015).

    First, improvements to the information provided to heart failure patients need to be made. According to US Department of Health and Human Services (2010), without clear information and an understanding of prevention and self-management of conditions, patients end up in the emergency room more often and have a hard time managing chronic diseases. Information can come from many sources such as healthcare providers, pamphlets, news media, and family members and friends. Partnering with cardiologist, public health officials, news stations, and community organizations and churches to ensure that appropriate information is provided regarding healthcare. Training should be provided to these groups about health literacy. The US Department of Health and Human Services (2010), suggest that few health care professionals receive formal training in communication, particularly in working with people with limited literacy. Also, studies show that many Americans receive their health information from local news, however, the information that is often provided are claims not supported by data, commercialism, shows disregard for the uncertainty of clinical trials, and single source stories. “A survey of journalists found that only 18 percent had specialized training in health reporting and 50 percent were not familiar with health literacy” (US Department of Health and Human

    The concept of self-efficacy is grounded in Bandura’s (1977) social learning theory. Bandura (1994) defines perceived self-efficacy as “people’s beliefs about their capabilities to produce efforts” (p. 71). In essence, one having strong self-efficacy experience increase in motivation, accomplishment, and personal well-being ( Bandura, 1994). Those with a low sense of self-efficacy, on the other hand, often suffer stress and depression; unbelieving of their capabilities and often succumbed to failure (Bandura, 1994).
