Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) is the common result of most of heart disorders. Quality of life (QoL) of these patients is severely impaired and needs continuous care. One of the nursing cares which may affect QoL of these patients is spiritual care.Aim: The current study aimed to determine effect of spiritual care program on QoL in HF patients.Method: This randomized controlled trial was performed at Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in Tehran in August 2020 .84patients were selected through convenient sampling and were randomly assigned to two groups using block balanced randomization. Iranian Heart Failure Quality of Life (IHF-QoL) questionnaire and Parsian and Dunning spirituality questionnaire were complemented before and after finishing 1-month follow-up by two groups. Intervention was carried out for experimental group in two1.5-hours virtual educational sessions as well as 1-month follow-up 3 times a week for 1-hour per session via what’s-App. At the end, the data related to 74 patients was analyzed SPSS software version 22. Significance level was considered at P < 0.05.Results: The groups were homogenous in terms of demographic characteristics. Dimensions of QoL in mental limitations (p <0.001) and self-care (p <0.01) in experimental group was significant comparing to control group, so that the spiritual care program increased the total score of QoL significantly (p <0.01).Implications for Practice: Results of the study showed that spiritual care program has a great role in improving the total QoL score and can be considered as a part of the holistic care program.
期刊介绍:
The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
