Inaugural Special Issue for the Heart Failure Feature
Advances in the Science of Heart Failure Self-Care
Guest Editor: Barbara Riegel, RN, PhD, FAHA, FAAN
The Editors of The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing plan to feature a heart failure section comprised of multiple articles about heart failure in each issue of the journal. We also plan several special issues on important heart failure topics. Our purpose with the inaugural special issue, Advances in the Science of Heart Failure Self-Care, is to present research that advances our understanding of heart failure self-care through research and theory. Dr. Barbara Riegel, the most prominent scientist working today in the field of heart failure self-care will guest edit this special issue.
Much of the existing research in the self-care field is descriptive; we know that the self-care of heart failure is poor. For this issue, we will feature articles that address important questions about heart failure self-care and answer those questions with rigorous research approaches. Studies focused on different elements of self-care and those using a variety of research methods are welcomed. Manuscripts will be judged on their innovation, relevance to theory and patient care, and research methods. Examples of studies considered important are randomized controlled trials of self-care interventions and studies testing the mechanism by which an intervention improves self-care. Mixed methods studies may provide particularly relevant insights into mechanisms. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are also encouraged. The issue will be published online immediately after acceptance and featured in the January-February 2024 print issue. To meet this goal, papers should be submitted online for review by June 15, 2023 to allow for peer review and time for revision before being accepted by September 15, 2023.
