Caregiving and care receiving among a technologically dependent heart failure population
Abstract
This descriptive study investigated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and caregiving/care receiving among 20 end stage heart failure patients receiving community-based inotropic infusions and among their 18 family caregivers. The analysis revealed that care recipients perceived considerable impairment from their disease process and poor HRQOL despite the use of inotropic infusions. Perceived powerlessness was identified as a predictor of the recipients' mental health status, while caregiver esteem adversely affected recipient HRQOL. Although insufficient preparation to care and caregiving tasks significantly contributed to the negative aspects of care provision. the esteem and mental health of the caregiver significantly enhanced HRQOL among caregivers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
