Effectiveness of nurse-led video monitoring for maintaining self-care in heart failure patients: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
It is well established that video monitoring is effective in promoting self-care among patients with heart failure during the intervention period. However, its long-term impact on sustaining self-care behaviors after discontinuation remains unclear. This article describes a randomized clinical trial protocol designed to assess the effectiveness of a video monitoring strategy in maintaining self-care behaviors in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This is a randomized, parallel trial with blinded outcome assessment. During hospitalization, eligible patients will be invited to participate. Data collection will include sociodemographic and clinical variables, laboratory test results, current medications, and cardiovascular physical examination. Validated instruments will measure clinical congestion, self-care (European HF Self-Care), HF knowledge, treatment adherence, quality of life, and cardiorespiratory fitness. The control group (CG) will receive standard care after discharge. In the intervention group (IG), the discharge summary will be shared with primary healthcare providers (nurse and physician) to facilitate transitional care. IG participants will receive structured video monitoring sessions with specialized cardiovascular nursing support at 7, 30, 60, 180, and 365 days post-discharge, focusing on self-care reinforcement. The primary outcome is the self-care score at one year. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, HF knowledge, treatment adherence, cardiorespiratory fitness, mortality, and hospital readmissions. Unlike mobile-based or voice telemonitoring strategies, video monitoring fosters a stronger connection between patients and healthcare professionals, which may enhance self-care maintenance over time. This approach aligns with personalized nursing interventions, reinforcing education and behavioral changes beyond the intervention period. This study highlights the role of video monitoring in sustaining self-care practices in heart failure management. By strengthening the nurse-patient relationship and promoting long-term adherence, it has the potential to reduce readmissions and mortality rates. Video monitoring may enhance global nursing practices, improving outcomes and quality of life for heart failure patients.
