This article summarizes the situation-specific factors that influence self-care decisions made by adults with chronic heart failure (HF), including problem, person, and environmental factors. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding the interactions between these factors in order to better support HF self-care. The study calls for further research on the contribution of problem-related and environment-related factors to HF self-care decisions.
Many studies of heart failure (HF) self-care have been conducted since the last update of the situation-specific theory of HF self-care. Objective The aim of this study was to describe the manner in which characteristics of the problem, person, and environment interact to influence decisions about self-care made by adults with chronic HF. Methods This study is a theoretical update. Literature on the influence of the problem, person, and environment on HF self-care is summarized. Results Consistent with naturalistic decision making, the interaction of the problem, person, and environment creates a situation in which a self-care decision is needed. Problem factors influencing decisions about HF self-care include specific conditions such as cognitive impairment, diabetes mellitus, sleep disorders, depression, and symptoms. Comorbid conditions make HF self-care difficult for a variety of reasons. Person factors influencing HF self-care include age, knowledge, skill, health literacy, attitudes, perceived control, values, social norms, cultural beliefs, habits, motivation, activation, self-efficacy, and coping. Environmental factors include weather, crime, violence, access to the Internet, the built environment, social support, and public policy. Conclusions A robust body of knowledge has accumulated on the person-related factors influencing HF self-care. More research on the contribution of problem-related factors to HF self-care is needed because very few people have only HF and no other chronic conditions. The research on environment-related factors is particularly sparse. Seven new propositions are included in this update. We strongly encourage investigators to consider the interactions of problem, person, and environmental factors affecting self-care decisions in future studies.
