Abstract

Purpose of review: To summarize articles describing how to personalize care for heart failure (HF) informal caregivers on the basis of the literature review results. We also describe informal caregivers' preferences and wishes regarding personalized care.

Recent findings: Recent interventions to support informal caregivers were delivered face-to-face or online in group or individual sessions. The sessions embraced various elements, including coaching on setting personalized goals and developing problem-solving strategies. The interventions improved a range of variables, such as caregiver burden, quality of life, depression, stress and anxiety. Informal caregivers described personalized care as being in a partnership, clear communication and coordination of care. Several intervention studies reported positive caregiver effects; however, they were small, and sometimes, the interventions were only briefly described. A deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the experiences and needs of informal caregivers is essential before new tailored interventions can be developed.

非正式心力衰竭护理人员的个性化护理：挑战和实际意义。

综述目的：在文献综述结果的基础上，总结描述如何对心力衰竭（HF）非正式护理人员进行个性化护理的文章。我们还描述了非正式护理人员的偏好和个性化护理的愿望。最近的发现：最近的干预措施，以支持非正式照顾者面对面或在线小组或个人会议。这些课程包含了各种元素，包括如何设定个性化目标和制定解决问题的策略。干预措施改善了一系列变量，如照顾者负担、生活质量、抑郁、压力和焦虑。非正式护理人员将个性化护理描述为一种伙伴关系，明确的沟通和协调护理。一些干预研究报告了积极的照顾者效应；然而，它们都很小，有时，干预措施只是简单地描述。在制定新的量身定制的干预措施之前，必须更深入、更全面地了解非正规照护者的经验和需求。

期刊介绍： This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
