Online Survey on LVAD Self-Care Education for Health Care Professionals

 

Thank you for considering participation in this online survey on LVAD Self‑Care Education for Health Care Professionals.

The number of heart failure patients living with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is increasing worldwide, and this growth is expected to continue. Effective patient self‑care is essential for successful LVAD treatment. However, the way healthcare professionals provide self‑care education varies across clinical settings. Challenges related to supporting self‑care may also vary between hospitals and countries.

This questionnaire aims to explore your experiences on self‑care education for patients with LVADs.
