Why is it important?

This study is unique because it focuses on the impact of nurse-led telephone health coaching for people with heart failure. While previous research has shown some benefits, there has been uncertainty. Our systematic review and meta-analysis bring together data from multiple studies, making our findings more robust and reliable. This timely research addresses a growing need for accessible and effective healthcare interventions, especially through remote methods like phone coaching. By demonstrating the positive effects on self-care behavior and quality of life, our study can help healthcare providers and policymakers make informed decisions about using nurse-led telecoaching for heart failure patients. This could lead to improved patient outcomes and a more patient-centered approach to care.
