Abstract:
Over the past decade, there has been substantial growth in heart failure (HF) research that focuses on persons with HF and their care partners (family members or other close friends that provide unpaid support) as an interdependent team, or care dyad. In this state-of-the-art review, we use a dyadic lens to identify and summarize current research on HF care dyads, from qualitative studies, to nonexperimental quantitative studies, to randomized controlled trials. Although much work has been done, this literature is younger and less well-developed than care dyad literatures from other conditions (eg, cancer, Alzheimer\'s disease). We discuss the substantial challenges and limitations in this body of work, with an eye toward addressing common issues that impact rigor. We also look toward future directions, and discuss the promise dyadic research holds for improving patient, care partner, and relationship health.
摘要:
在过去的十年里,心力衰竭(HF)的研究有了实质性的增长,这些研究侧重于HF患者及其护理伙伴(提供无偿支持的家庭成员或其他亲密朋友)作为一个相互依赖的团队,或关心二元。在这份最新的审查中,我们使用二进透镜来识别和总结当前对HF护理二进的研究,从定性研究中,非实验性定量研究,随机对照试验。虽然已经做了很多工作,与其他条件下的护理二元文献相比,这种文献更年轻,更不发达(例如,癌症,阿尔茨海默病)。我们讨论了这项工作中的重大挑战和局限性,着眼于解决影响严谨的常见问题。我们也展望未来的方向,并讨论二重研究对改善病人的承诺,护理伙伴,和关系健康。
