Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale

    It measures the presence, frequency and severity of seven basic symptoms, such as dyspnea during the day, dyspnea when lying down, fatigue, chest pain, edema, sleep problems, dizziness or dizziness, which are the most common in heart failure patients, and the degree to which each of these symptoms affects the patient.When the patient expresses the "zero" option, this indicates that the patient does not have the relevant symptom. To calculate each symptom, all values given by patients for frequency, severity and discomfort are added together. The scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 0-84.

    Three months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire

    Three months

  • Michel Uncertainty in Illness Scale - Society Form

Study Arms (2)

No invention: Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Data collection tools were applied to individuals in the control group on day 0 (Z0), day 30 (Z1) and day 90 (Z2) of follow-up. Data collection tools applied to the control group are as follows: Patient Introduction Form, Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire,Michel Uncertainty in Illness Scale - Community Form.

Experimental: application group

EXPERIMENTAL

Two 15-minute training videos (30 minutes in total) prepared for symptom management will be shared on the phones of the patients/relatives in the application group and the patients and their relatives will be informed by watching the training video.Data collection tools were applied to individuals in the application group on day 0 (Z0), day 30 (Z1) and day 90 (Z2) of follow-up. Data collection tools applied to the application group are as follows: Patient Introduction Form, Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire,Michel Uncertainty in Illness Scale - Community Form.

Behavioral: Training videos

Interventions

Training videosBEHAVIORAL

After determining the application and control groups in the research, the purpose of the research was explained to both groups. The mobile phone usage skills of the individuals who will be included in the application group were evaluated with the Digital Literacy Scale. Training videos for 15 people each (30 minutes in total) regarding symptom management were shared on the phones of the patients/relatives in the application groups, and the patients and their relatives were informed and watched the training video. Data collection forms would be filled out before the application (Z0), on the 30th day of the application (Z1), and on the 90th day of the application (Z2).
