This systematic review aimed to identify factors influencing self-care behaviors among heart failure patients in India. The search was conducted in six databases, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Embase; between January 2012 and September 2024, 676 articles were reviewed. After removing duplicates, seven articles were included for analysis on the basis of the study inclusion criteria. The PRISMA guidelines has been used in this review. We included observational, cross-sectional, experimental, quasiexperimental, and qualitative studies published in English and conducted in India. The included studies were critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute's risk of bias tool. The data were synthesized narratively. The findings revealed various factors that influence self-care behavior, which were divided into favorable and hindering factors. The factors that favored self-care behavior were self-efficacy, disease-related knowledge, situational awareness, adequate family income, financial support, health insurance, supportive family, patient willpower, and confidence in healthcare. However, low education, lack of knowledge about heart failure, difficulty understanding health information, limited time spent by healthcare providers, low health literacy, low self-efficacy, financial difficulties, negative emotions, and lack of structured care plans hindered self-care. These findings underscore the need for health policies that prioritize patient education, accessible care and adequate financial support. Strengthening such policies could improve self-care adherence among heart failure patients, enhancing clinical outcomes and quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":15581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Health Promotion","volume":"14 ","pages":"344"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12448565/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145113145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the end of the intervention, participants' engagement, usability (System Usability Scale), and, acceptability (/5) of the program were evaluated using descriptive statistics.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>50 women were randomized to intervention; one died and 49 (100%) were retained. Some participants faced challenges such as internet availability issues and technical glitches. There were no adverse events. Engagement was high for calls (mean = 11.6 ± 1.4/12), WhatsApp messages (mean = 34.2 ± 4.6/36 read) the website (74-151 hits/education page), and the mobile app (7.2 ± 4.2 times/patient); there were no group chat messages. Usability was rated as \"excellent\" (94.7 ± 5.2/100). Acceptability with the overall intervention was high (means ≥4.5/5), but was lower for information understandability, including diet and exercise recommendations.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Favorable implementability and acceptability, as well as excellent usability and engagement with TaCT were established. Along with favorable outcome results, this suggests that TaCT may serve as a valuable intervention to improve women's access and adherence to CR in resource-constrained environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":15581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Health Promotion","volume":"14 ","pages":"287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12413114/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145015541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
