Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Self Care of Heart Failure Index

  The Self-Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) Version 6.2) is a validated self-report instrument that measures self-care among individuals with heart failure. It consists of 22 items across three subscales: self-care maintenance (10 items), self-care management (6 items), and self-care confidence (6 items). Scores for each subscale are standardised to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating better self-care. A score of ≥70 is considered indicative of adequate self-care

  At enrolment then at six and nine months

• Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS v.3)

  The 18-item Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS v.3) is a validated self-report instrument that assesses the severity and burden of physical symptoms experienced by individuals with heart failure, such as dyspnea, fatigue, edema, and sleep disturbances. The total score ranges from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden and worse symptom perception. Scores are categorised as 0-18 (minimal), 19-36 (mild), 37-54 (moderate), 55-72 (high), and 73-90 (very high) symptom burden.
