Effect of self-management intervention on prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure: A meta-analysis.

AIM: The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of self-management intervention on four prognostic indicators of readmission rate, mortality rate, self-management ability and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure. DESIGN: A meta-analysis. METHODS: This study was selected from the related studies published from January 1999 to January 2022, and was searched by searching five databases: PubMed, Science of Website, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang and Wei Pu (VIP). All standardized randomized controlled trial studies were collected, and the quality evaluation and meta-analysis of the included literature were conducted. RESULTS: This study included 20 randomized controlled trials involving 3459 patients with chronic heart failure. Meta-analysis results showed that self-management intervention could reduce the readmission rate of patients with chronic heart failure, improved self-management ability of patients, improved quality of life, but there was no statistical significance in mortality.
