BACKGROUND Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's diminished capacity to maintain adequate systemic perfusion to meet metabolic demands, resulting in symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, and edema. In patients aged 65 and over, CHF represents a leading cause of hospitalization, exerting a significant socio-clinical impact on healthcare systems. OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY This thesis examines the role of the community nurse in the management of geriatric patients (over 65) diagnosed with CHF. Adopting the PIO (Population, Intervention, Outcome) framework, the research involved a comprehensive review of international literature via the PubMed database, alongside an analysis of Marche Region healthcare regulations. The study aims to identify nursing diagnoses, emerging care needs, and the development of personalized care plans. KEY RESULTS Nursing interventions within primary care settings proved essential for: • Reducing readmission rates and preventing acute exacerbations. • Enhancing therapeutic adherence and promoting patient self-management. • Providing therapeutic education and psychosocial support, particularly for patients lacking a dedicated caregiver. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES Despite challenges such as service fragmentation, home-based care remains a fundamental pillar of chronic disease management. This study highlights the growing importance of telemonitoring, advanced clinical training, and the assessment of complex technologies, such as Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD). In conclusion, an integrated and personalized care model is indispensable for improving the quality of life of frail patients and optimizing National Health Service resources.
Lo Scompenso Cardiaco Cronico (SCC) è una sindrome complessa che riduce la capacità del cuore di irrorare gli organi, causando sintomi come dispnea, astenia ed edemi. Negli over 65, rappresenta una delle principali cause di ospedalizzazione, con un forte impatto sociale e clinico. OBIETTIVI E METODOLOGIA L'elaborato analizza il ruolo dell'infermiere domiciliare nella gestione dei pazienti over 65 anni con SCC. Utilizzando il modello PIO (Popolazione, Intervento, Outcome), la ricerca ha consultato la banca dati internazionale (PubMed) e normative della Regione Marche per identificare diagnosi infermieristiche, bisogni emergenti e piani assistenziali personalizzati. RISULTATI PRINCIPALI L'intervento infermieristico sul territorio si è dimostrato cruciale per: • Ridurre le riospedalizzazioni e prevenire le riacutizzazioni. • Migliorare l'aderenza terapeutica e l'autogestione della malattia. • Fornire educazione terapeutica e supporto psicosociale, specialmente in assenza di un caregiver. CONCLUSIONI E PROSPETTIVE Nonostante criticità come la frammentazione dei servizi, l'assistenza domiciliare resta un pilastro fondamentale. Lo studio evidenzia l'importanza del telemonitoraggio, della formazione avanzata e della valutazione per tecnologie come il VAD (Ventricular Assist Device). In conclusione, un modello assistenziale integrato e personalizzato è indispensabile per migliorare la qualità di vita dei pazienti fragili e ottimizzare le risorse del Sistema Sanitario.
