Abstract

Background Heart failure is one of the causes of death in the world. Patients with this condition experience a decrease in the heart muscle's ability to pump blood effectively and meet the body's oxygen needs. As a result, the patient's quality of life decreases, so self-care efforts are needed to help improve their quality of life.

The research sample consisted of 85 heart failure patients, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Results The Pearson correlation test resulted in p = 0.032 (p value < 0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between Self Care and Quality of Life with the strength of the correlation (r = 0.232) which is in the weak category with a positive correlation direction. Conclusion There is a significant relationship between Self Care and Quality of Life in heart failure patients at Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado.
