Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of animation video-supported nutrition education on dietary behaviors, symptom severity, and quality of life in patients with heart failure. A total of 70 patients aged 45-60 years with NYHA class II or III heart failure will be recruited at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University Research and Application Hospital Cardiology Clinic. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group, which will receive video-supported nutrition education, or a control group, which will receive standard care. Outcomes will be assessed using the Heart Failure Dietary Behavior Scale, Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mean Score on the Heart Failure Dietary Behavior Scale

  Dietary behaviors will be evaluated using the Heart Failure Dietary Behavior Scale, developed by Boy and Enç (2022). The scale consists of 19 items across four subscales: Healthy Habits, Salt Restriction, Sugar Restriction, and Prevention of Fluid Retention. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale, yielding a total score range of 19-76. Higher scores indicate better adherence to dietary recommendations. A cutoff score of 46 is used; scores ≥46 indicate adherence to guideline-recommended nutritional behaviors.

  At baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Mean Score on the Heart Failure Symptom Status Scale (Symptom Severity)

  At baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

• Mean Score on the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (Quality of Life)

  At baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive animation video-supported nutrition education focusing on balanced diet, sodium restriction, sugar and cholesterol control, and fluid retention prevention. Videos will follow the "5W1H and Symptom" principle. Follow-ups will be at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months using HF Dietary Behavior Scale, HF Symptom Status Scale, and Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire.

Behavioral: Animation Video-Supported Nutrition Education

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will receive standard care (verbal advice from cardiologists) and will complete the same assessments at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. After study completion, they will also receive access to the animation video education.

Interventions

Animation Video-Supported Nutrition Education BEHAVIORAL

Structured education using animation videos on balanced diet, sodium restriction, sugar/cholesterol control, fluid retention prevention. Videos delivered in hospital and accessible on patients' phones for 6 months with weekly reminders.
