Feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a patient-centered self-care intervention for adults with coronary heart disease in a low resource setting
Objective
Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with disproportionate impact in low resource contexts. Despite the importance of effective self-care in improving outcomes, existing interventions are often fragmented, disease-focused, and lack contextual relevance. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a nurse-led, patient-centered self-care intervention (PCSI) for individuals with CHD in Pakistan.
Methods
A mixed-methods study was conducted between May 17 to August 16, 2024 in inpatient department of public hospital in Pakistan. The intervention, developed through literature review and stakeholder input, involved a 2-h individualized education and counselling session delivered one day before discharge. Effectiveness was evaluated using a one-group pretest-posttest design, assessing self-efficacy and self-care behaviors at baseline and four weeks post-discharge. Feasibility was explored through post-intervention interviews with 12 participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test in SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed manually through content analysis.
Results
Thirty-seven participants (mean age 50.67 ± 6.04 years; 32 men) completed the study. Self-efficacy improved significantly, with mean scores increasing from 76.75 ± 19.65 to 99.86 ± 0.82 (Z = −4.864, p < 0.001). Significant improvements were observed in self-care behaviors across all domains (p < 0.001). Qualitative findings confirmed the intervention's feasibility, relevance and acceptability, while suggesting family engagement, and ongoing support.
Conclusion
The PCSI demonstrated promising effectiveness and feasibility, supporting its potential integration into routine care. Future adaptations could enhance sustained self-care and clinical outcomes in low-resource settings.
