Abstract
The majority of heart failure (HF) self-care research remains focused on patients, despite the important involvement of family caregivers. Although self-care confidence has been found to play an important role in the effectiveness of HF self-care management on patient outcomes, no known research has examined self-care confidence within a dyadic context. The purpose of this study was to identify individual and dyadic determinants of self-care confidence in HF care dyads.
