TI  - Self-management decision influences in heart failure: a preliminary 
      investigation.
PG  - 69-84
AB  - Self-management decision making places significant cognitive demands on 
      individuals with heart failure (HF). Before theoretically valid decision supports 
      can be developed, a better understanding of underlying decision characteristics 
      is needed. The purpose of this preliminary study was to describe sources of 
      self-management decision influences for individuals (N = 38) with varying levels 
      of HF (New York Heart Association (NYHA) classifications). Therapeutic value was 
      the most influential source of self-management decision making for these 
      patients, followed by personal beliefs and values, information sources, symptom 
      influence, and task difficulty across all NYHA classes. Symptom influence was 
      least influential for persons in Class II, whereas task difficulty was least 
      influential for those in Classes III and IV. Moderate and significant 
      associations were noted between information sources and personal beliefs and 
      values and between information sources and symptom influence. As the disease 
      progressed, a trend toward fewer decision influences, especially in the task 
      difficulty scale, was noted.
