Official title
Impact of Discharge Teach-Back Education on Heart Failure Patients' Knowledge/Self-Care Behaviors and 30-Day Readmissions
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aimed to improve how patients with heart failure understand and manage their condition after leaving the hospital. Many heart failure patients are readmitted within 30 days due to confusion about their discharge instructions and difficulty following self-care routines. The study tested whether a structured discharge education session using the "teach-back" method-where patients repeated instructions in their own words-could help improve their knowledge and self-care behaviors. The goal was to reduce hospital readmissions and help patients feel more confident managing their heart failure at home.
