Description
Type of Intervention Is Behavioral, In addition to routine medical cares, the intervention group will receive weekly 45-minute sessions of Roy's Adaptation Model-based training for one month. This group will also receive a follow-up procedure through phone contact, during which the positive behaviors of the patients will be encouraged and strengthened by stating the advantages of such behaviors; whereas, their negative behaviors will be undermined by mentioning their complications and disadvantages. The intervention group will also receive telephone and physically individual consultation. The educational content will be gathered and developed based on nursing and medical literature review. Presentation of educational content during the 4 sessions will be as follows: • The first session: definition of heart failure, signs and symptoms of the disease, how to perform exercise and physical activities.• The second session: diet and fluid intake, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, daily weighing and its interpretation.• The third session: training in medications, their complications, and how to adjust drug dosing.• The fourth session: Management of and adaptation to symptoms, sexual problems, and stresses. If patients need more help to shape adaptation behaviors, they will be referred to other treatment team members based on the type of behavior and its stimulator (e.g. referral to a specialized physician for drug dosing adjustment). The researcher will provide patients with continuous follow-ups from the beginning of the intervention onward. In fact, these telephone follow-ups and the time spent on visiting patients physically and individually, will create a sense of support in them, which is associated with psychologically positive effect. During the whole program, patients will be encouraged to have one companion in training sessions. A handout, entitled
