Factors associated with self-care behavior among heart failure patients in India: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Self-care is crucial for heart failure management and complements pharmacological treatments; however, various factors hinder effective self-care, adversely affecting clinical outcomes and leading to poor quality of life. This systematic review aimed to identify factors influencing self-care behaviors among heart failure patients in India. The search was conducted in six databases, PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Embase; between January 2012 and September 2024, 676 articles were reviewed. After removing duplicates, seven articles were included for analysis on the basis of the study inclusion criteria. The PRISMA guidelines has been used in this review. We included observational, cross-sectional, experimental, quasiexperimental, and qualitative studies published in English and conducted in India. The included studies were critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute's risk of bias tool. The data were synthesized narratively. The findings revealed various factors that influence self-care behavior, which were divided into favorable and hindering factors. The factors that favored self-care behavior were self-efficacy, disease-related knowledge, situational awareness, adequate family income, financial support, health insurance, supportive family, patient willpower, and confidence in healthcare. However, low education, lack of knowledge about heart failure, difficulty understanding health information, limited time spent by healthcare providers, low health literacy, low self-efficacy, financial difficulties, negative emotions, and lack of structured care plans hindered self-care. These findings underscore the need for health policies that prioritize patient education, accessible care and adequate financial support. Strengthening such policies could improve self-care adherence among heart failure patients, enhancing clinical outcomes and quality of life.
