Home care workers in heart failure: a systematic review.
This systematic review aimed to 1) describe utilization patterns of home care workers (HCWs) by adults with heart failure (HF), 2) examine the effect of HCWs on HF outcomes, and 3) review HF interventions that involve HCWs. The investigators concluded that the literature on these HCWs in HF is limited. They suggest that additional research is warranted on the potential role of HCWs in HF self-care and on outcomes among adults with HF.
