Objective: To develop a best-evidence-based optimal nutrition management plan for patients with chronic heart failure, apply it in clinical practice, and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: Use the KTA knowledge translation model to guide evidence-based practice in nutrition management, and compare the nutritional status, cardiac function status, quality of life, and quality review indicators of chronic heart failure patients before and after the application of evidence. Results: After the application of evidence, the nutritional status indicators (MNA-SF score, albumin, hemoglobin) of two groups of heart failure patients significantly increased compared to before the application of evidence, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05), The indicators related to cardiac function status (LVEF, NT-proBNP) showed a significant decrease compared to before the application of evidence (p < 0.05), The MLHFQ quality of life scale scores significantly decreased after the application of evidence, with all differences being statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The KTA knowledge translation model provides methodological guidance for the implementation of evidence-based practice for heart failure patients. This evidence-based practice project is beneficial for improving the outcomes of malnutrition in chronic heart failure patients and is conducive to standardizing nursing pathways, thereby promoting the improvement of nursing quality.

Chronic Heart Failure Knowledge Transformation Mode Nutrition Management Evidence-Based Practice

1. Introduction

Heart failure (referred to as “heart failure”) is the severe and terminal stage of the development of various heart diseases. There are more than 9 million patients with heart failure in China, and it is still on the rise, and its high mortality rate, high hospitalization rate and high medical expenses have caused heavy burdens on families and society [1] - [3] . Multiple studies have confirmed that malnutrition is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes for patients [4] [5] . Malnutrition is a common clinical phenomenon among heart failure patients and is significantly associated with mortality risk [6] . Scientific nutrition management can alleviate the symptoms of heart failure, reduce the readmission rate, and improve the adverse outcomes of patients [7] [8] . KTA (knowledge-to-action) transformation mode is an important practice mode of evidence-based nursing, which is divided into 2 stages and 9 steps of knowledge synthesis and knowledge application [9] [10] , and is a dynamic cycle process from knowledge to practice. Therefore, this study, guided by the knowledge transformation model, integrated global evidence, made localized decisions, applied the best evidence of nutrition management to the clinic and evaluated the effect, so as to provide reference for the construction of standardized nutrition management programs for patients with chronic heart failure.

2. Objects and Methods 2.1. Research Method

This study is a quasi-experimental study.

2.2. Subjects

Select 426 patients with chronic heart failure who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology at Jingzhou First People’s Hospital from January 2023 to October 2023 as the study subjects. Inclusion criteria: Participants were CHF patients ≥18 years of age. Exclusion criteria: serious failure of other organs, tumors, mental disorders and other diseases.

2.3. Methods

A multidisciplinary evidence-based practice group was established, consisting of 12 members. Among them, 4 are nurses and 8 are other professionals. The PIPOST principle was applied to formulate evidence-based questions. Research subjects: Inpatients with CHF aged ≥18 years; Intervention measures: Nutritional management related measures; Professionals: Clinical personnel; Study outcomes: Patients’ nutritional status, cardiac function status, quality of life; Evidence application site: Cardiology ward of the First People’s Hospital of Jingzhou City; Evidence types: Guidelines, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, expert consensus.

1) Querying Knowledge

According to the “6S” evidence model, the database was searched top-down, and high-level evidence such as clinical decisions, guidelines, and expert consensus was searched first. We searched the literature of the guidelines network of Cardiology (ACC/ESC/JACC/AHA/HFSA), Cochrane Library, Medline, Evidence-Based Health Care Database (JBI), CNKI, Wanfang Database, and VIP database. Literature inclusion criteria: The study subjects were hospitalized CHF patients ≥18 years old. The study contents were guidelines, evidence summary, clinical decision-making and systematic review related to nutritional management in patients with chronic heart failure. The language was Chinese and English.

2) Knowledge integration

Two researchers independently evaluated, summarized and extracted the best evidence for the included literature. The guidelines use AGREE II evaluation, evidence summary, clinical decision to trace the original literature, according to the type of original literature using JBI Evidence-Based Health care Center for different types of research quality evaluation tools for quality evaluation. Quality was also evaluated using the JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center System Evaluation tool.

3) Knowledge Output

Finally, 13 articles, 6 guidelines, 5 consensus articles and 2 systematic reviews were included. The nutritional management of patients with chronic heart failure was divided into 6 parts and 27 best evidences were extracted. For evidence derived from the guidelines, the level and strength of evidence recommended by the guidelines are directly adopted; for evidence derived from evidence summary and clinical decision-making, the team members use the JBI evidence pre-grading system to grade the evidence by tracing the original text and intensive reading, and determine the strength of recommendation in combination with the JBI evidence pushing strength grading principle, as shown in Table 1 .

1) Identify the gap between the best evidence and clinical practice

Construct the best evidence review indicators and determine the review methods, see Table 2 . Conduct the first round of baseline review for 240 CHF patients from January to May 2023, with the following review indicators: Indicator 1—Training rate of medical staff and patients’ nutrition knowledge is 12%; Indicator 2—Utilization rate of nutrition management support system and assessment tools is 10.41%; Indicator 3—Rate of formulation of “individualized” nutrition management plans for patients is 28.5%; Indicator 4—Implementation rate of departmental follow-ups is 56.54%. as shown in Table 2 .

2) Introducing knowledge into specific situations

FAME structure was used to evaluate the feasibility, suitability, clinical significance and validity of the evidence. Organize stakeholders to hold FAME demonstration meeting, attended by a total of 10 experts, including department director, head nurse, nursing backbone, clinicians and nurses. Evidence materials will be sent to participants before the meeting. Experts will fully discuss and vote on each

In the process of evidence-based practice, monitoring the application of knowledge and the evaluation of the effects after knowledge application.

5) Maintaining the application of knowledge

Make the best evidence into a plan and standardized process to maintain the best evidence in clinical application.

2.4. Evaluation Method

Conducted a second round of baseline review for 186 CHF patients from June to October 2023, continuously tracked the compliance of medical staff with best evidence, and compared the nutritional status, cardiac function status, and quality of life of two groups of heart failure patients before and after the application of evidence.

2.5. Statistical Methods

SPSS26.0 statistical software was used for data processing. Quantitative data were expressed as “mean ± standard deviation”, and T-test was used for inter-group mean comparison. Statistical data were obtained by chi-square test with two independent samples. Test level α = 0.05, p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant difference.

evidence application, and 186 patients were included for the second baseline review.

It can be concluded that the patients at both baseline reviews were not statistically different in sex, age, or degree of heart failure (p < 0.05) and were comparable.

2) Evidence-based nursing practice can improve the compliance rate of healthcare professionals in reviewing indicators.

Our country faces barriers related to nurses in implementing evidence-based nursing practice in clinical settings, including lack of awareness, knowledge, and skills, increased workload, and poor compliance [11] . The results of this study showed that the second baseline review after the application of the evidence, The training rate of nutrition knowledge of medical staff and patients, the utilization rate of nutrition management plan and the implementation rate of follow-up were significantly improved, which were statistically different from those before the application of evidence (p < 0.05). Therefore, following the application of evidence, has significantly improved compared to before the application of evidence. This is consistent with the findings of Wang [12] , indicating that under the guidance of evidence-based practice frameworks, formulating plans that are suitable for the implementation in complex hospitals can significantly enhance the execution capabilities of healthcare teams. The main reasons are, on one hand, this study included the nursing managers and key nurses of the cardiology department of our hospital in the evidence-based nursing team. Nurses were trained in nutritional management knowledge and skills by professionals in the relevant fields within the team. The entire nursing staff of the cardiology department was led to participate in the evidence-based nursing practice project for nutritional management of patients with chronic heart failure, which improved the nurses’ knowledge and skills related to nutritional management. On the other hand, the researchers identified barriers and facilitators from the perspectives of different stakeholders. They held group meetings with members from multiple disciplines to tailor the best evidence, devise strategies for overcoming barriers, and develop a practical evidence-based practice protocol.

3) Evidence-based nursing practice can improve malnutrition outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure

Malnutrition can trap CHF patients in a cycle of malnutrition, inflammation and cachexia, And once cachexia occurs, it is difficult to reverse the course of the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the nutritional status of patients while treating heart failure, actively screen and intervene to improve the prognosis of patients [13] . The results of this study showed that the nutritional status, cardiac function status and quality of life of HF patients were significantly improved after the application of evidence-based evidence, which is consistent with the findings of chen [14] . The main reasons include, conducting nutritional risk screening for CHF patients upon admission helps to identify those with a high risk of malnutrition; Based on comprehensive information such as height and weight, age and gender, and disease condition, personalized nutrition support programs are formulated, personalized nutrition support prescriptions that are most compatible with the nutritional needs, dietary habits, and nutritional risk factors of nursing objects are designed, and personalized nutritional support is provided, which can improve the prognosis of patients and reduce the incidence of malnutrition in patients with heart failure.

5. Summary

Under the guidance of the KTA knowledge translation model, this study summarized the best evidence for nutritional management of patients with chronic heart failure and translated it into practice, developing an actionable nutritional management plan to improve the execution rate among healthcare professionals. Effective interventions can improve the nutritional status, cardiac function, and quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure. This study, as evidence-based practice, requires strong support from administrators and doctors, as well as high cooperation from patients to be completed. During the research process, some patients did not pay enough attention to the relationship between nutritional support and disease, which caused certain resistance to the practice of this study. Therefore, in subsequent studies, qualitative research on patients’ nutritional needs can be conducted first, and then personalized nutritional intervention plans can be developed in combination with evidence-based protocols, followed by a new round of evidence-based practice.
