Abstract
Context: Heart failure (HF) is a common pathology requiring many types of treatments, including therapeutic education, which has demonstrated a major benefit in terms of reducing re-hospitalization and mortality from HF or all other causes. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of therapeutic education (TPE) in patients with heart failure. Methodology: This was a single-centre, interventional, non-randomized, before-and-after type study. It focused on hospitalized heart failure patients aged 18 and over. We evaluated the effect of TPE on therapeutic compliance, knowledge, practical attitudes, patient perceptions and quality of life. Results: Our study included 41 patients prior to therapeutic education: 17 men (41%) and 24 women (59%). The mean age was 54.7 ± 16.2 years. After the TPE sessions we evaluated 32 patients: The patients with good compliance increased from 75% to 90.63%, and patients with a low level of compliance (90.6%) decreased to 34.4%. An increase in the number of patients who had an attitude adapted to not exceeding the recommended amount of salt (6 before TPE and 22 after TPE), as well as in the number of
