SUMMARY

Heart failure (HF) is an incurable and complex disease syndrome with sophisticated disease trajectories. The guideline for HF management suggests that treatment should include adequate education to help patients have better self-management ability, and improve their quality of life and prognosis. However, how to provide massive amount of HF patients a continuous, complete and individualized disease care education from hospitalization, post-discharge, to home for months is a difficult problem. This study plans to develop an automated and intelligent education system for HF on the mobile device Line platform. Through this platform, we hope to make the HF education continuous for 3 months from hospital to post-discharge period. We hypothesize that (1) this intervention can improve knowledge, self-care, emotional stress, self-efficacy, quality of life and disease outcomes in patients of HF; (2) the system developed in this study can reduce the hours of nursing work while improve the quality of education and become the best clinical auxiliary education tool.

Participants
Target number of participants: 138
Treatments
No_intervention: traditional outpatient care group
After confirming that the diagnosis of heart failure is met, the patient will receive 10-15 minutes of disease care education from a nurse when the patient receives the case. At the same time, the patient will receive a personal disease self-care education manual, and will get the contact number of the case manager in case the patients encounter emergencies or disease care needs at home (the patient can call for consultation on home care for diseases if the patient want).
Experimental: automated mobile education system group
Intervention group (accepting the operation process of automated intelligent education software system):~1. Execute registration and qualification review~2. Automated smart education interaction~At the same time, the patient will receive a personal disease self-care education manual, and will get the contact number of the case manager in case the patients encounter emergencies or disease care needs at home (the patient can call for consultation on home care for diseases if the patient want).
