Résumé

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of education using avatars for improving patients' heart failure knowledge and self-care.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
A lack of knowledge and self-care contributes to poor outcomes and rehospitalization for people with heart failure.
DESIGN
METHODS
A multi-centred, non-blinded pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
METHODS
METHODS
Heart failure patients were randomly assigned to intervention (avatar education application) or usual care groups. Participants were followed up at baseline, 30 and 90 days. ANCOVA was used to compare the scores of heart failure knowledge and self-care, between the two groups. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the two groups' heart failure-cause readmission. Bivariate exact binary logistic regression was used to identify the predictors associated with baseline levels of knowledge.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A total of 36 participants were recruited (between October 2018 - March 2019). The mean age of participants was 67.5 (SD 11.3) years. At enrolment, approximately half (47.2%) have been living with Heart Failure for over 5 years. Two groups were comparable at baseline in their demographic and clinical characteristics. At 90 days, the intervention group participants had a higher increase in knowledge score on the Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scales compared with the control group (22.2% versus 3.7% P = .002, partial η
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The addition of a co-designed avatar app to usual care improved knowledge in our group of Heart Failure participants at 30 days and continued to increase up to 90 days. The results suggest that our avatar app was perceived as an enjoyable and engaging means of delivering critical knowledge and self-care information.
IMPACT
CONCLUSIONS
Heart failure is associated with poor clinical outcomes (i.e., readmission rates and mortality rate) and substantial economic burden. The effectiveness of Heart Failure patient education using avatar have not been investigated previously. In this study, the avatar app improved knowledge and self-care behaviours. This innovation could be used at the bedside, at home by nurses, patients and families.
