Sense of Security Mediates the Relationship Between Self-care Behavior and Health Status of Patients With Heart Failure: A Cross-sectional Study.

Heart failure management should not only support self-care but also aim to strengthen sense of security through positive care interaction (provider-patient communication) and the promotion of patients' self-efficacy, and by facilitating access to care.
