This annotated bibliography, prepared by a student, examines three research articles relevant to a case study of an 80-year-old patient, John, diagnosed with chronic heart failure. The assignment, as per the 2806NRS course requirements, includes an annotated bibliography of the chosen articles, a justification for their selection based on their evidence-based guidance for patient care, and recommendations for patient and clinical practice. The articles focus on interventions to improve self-care behaviors in heart failure patients, including the effectiveness of psychological interventions and educational programs. The student analyzes the components, contexts, and outcomes of these interventions, emphasizing the importance of self-care in managing chronic heart failure and improving patient outcomes. The case study highlights the need for increased awareness and healthy lifestyle practices in managing the patient's symptoms, such as breathlessness, swelling, and elevated heart rate. The bibliography underscores the role of nurses in providing patient education and implementing psychological strategies to improve treatment success and secondary prevention.
