Background: Self-care plays an important role in the treatment of patients with heart failure (HF) and adequately performed self-care at home can contribute to fewer hospitalizations, lower mortality risk and require less emergency care. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesise evidence on the effectiveness of nursing interventions on HF-related self-care at home.

Regular facilities aiming to redesign and implement GCF elements might be hindered to do so by a lack of space for meadows or regulations prohibiting animals.
