Feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a patient-centered self-care intervention for adults with coronary heart disease in a low resource setting.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with disproportionate impact in low resource contexts. Despite the importance of effective self-care in improving outcomes, existing interventions are often fragmented, disease-focused, and lack contextual relevance. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a nurse-led, patient-centered self-care intervention (PCSI) for individuals with CHD in Pakistan. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted between May 17 to August 16, 2024 in inpatient department of public hospital in Pakistan. The intervention, developed through literature review and stakeholder input, involved a 2-h individualized education and counselling session delivered one day before discharge. Effectiveness was evaluated using a one-group pretest-posttest design, assessing self-efficacy and self-care behaviors at baseline and four weeks post-discharge. Feasibility was explored through post-intervention interviews with 12 participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test in SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed manually through content analysis. Results: Thirty-seven participants (mean age 50.67 ± 6.04 years; 32 men) completed the study. Self-efficacy improved significantly, with mean scores increasing from 76.75 ± 19.65 to 99.86 ± 0.82 (Z = -4.864, Conclusion: The PCSI demonstrated promising effectiveness and feasibility, supporting its potential integration into routine care. Future adaptations could enhance sustained self-care and clinical outcomes in low-resource settings.
