Efficacy of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills ModelBased nursing care intervention in management of patients with Heart Failure: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Self-care practices are integral part of heart failure (HF) management. Information-Motivation-Behavioral skills (IMB) model has shown promise in fostering better self-care behaviors, but its efficacy in management of HF patients remains underexplored. This retrospective study investigated the value of IMB model-based nursing intervention for improving self-care, hemodynamic indicators, and quality of life (QOL) of HF patients.

The association between psychological resilience and hair cortisol concentration in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
