Commentary on: Son YJ, Jang I. One-year trajectories of self-care behaviours and unplanned hospital readmissions among patients with heart failure: A prospective longitudinal study. J Clin Nurs. 2023 Sep;32(17-18):6427-6440. doi: 10.1111/jocn.16658. Epub 2023 Feb 23.

Implications for practice and research

  • Timely identifying self­care behaviour patterns over time may reduce the risk of hospital readmissions in patients with heart failure (HF).

  • Further research studies are required to examine the effects of every 3–6 months self-care intervention on hospital readmissions among patients with HF.

  • Context

    Unplanned readmissions within 30 days and 6 months postdischarge are notably common in patients with HF.1 2 Effective self-care behaviours are essential to lower readmissions. However, the trajectories of self-care behaviours throughout the HF progression can vary among patients.3 Limited research studies have examined the relationships among the influencing variables, self-care behaviours and readmissions over...
