- Abstract
- This study explored experiences of dietary sodium adherence among patients with heart failure and their caregivers. Qualitative data were collected from 22 patients and 18 caregivers using an interview guide and were analyzed using content analysis. Four themes were (1) lack of adherence to low-sodium diet, (2) several barriers to dietary sodium adherence, (3) a few facilitators of dietary sodium adherence, and (4) distorted perceptions of dietary education from healthcare providers. The majority of patients had poor dietary sodium adherence. Distorted perceptions, insufficient knowledge, disadvantages of dietary sodium adherence, and lack of family support were barriers to dietary sodium adherence, and family support was a facilitator. The majority of patients received dietary education from their healthcare providers but had little knowledge about the detailed content and the connection to heart failure management. More effective interventions reflecting patients’ and caregivers’ dietary experiences need to be developed and delivered. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
