Abstract
Objective: To describe the implementation of the heart failure outpatient management process results at the Cardiology Department, Vinmec Times City International Hospital, Hanoi 2024. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. Results: The study was conducted on 161 heart failure outpatients with an average age of 70 ± 14.0 years and a male-to-female ratio of 1.71:1. The "general knowledge" scores before counseling, at 1 month, and at 3 months post-counseling showed improvement (p < 0.001) with scores of 6.0 ± 3.0, 7.5 ± 3.3, and 9.2 ± 3.4, respectively. Self-care practice scores also improved: the scores for "Self-care maintenance," "Self-care management," and "Self-care confidence" at each time point showed significant differences (p < 0.001). The percentage of patients with correct general knowledge increased over time: 1.2% before counseling, 5.0% at 1 month post-counseling, and 11.8% at 3 months post-counseling. Conclusion: The outpatient heart failure management process at the Cardiology department of Vinmec Times City International Hospital in Hanoi is yielding many positive results.
