AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess heart failure (HF) knowledge, adherence to lifestyle 
      recommendations, and quality of life (QOL) among Koreans with HF and identify 
      factors influencing QOL. METHODS: A cross-sectional and correlational design was 
      used and a total of 142 Koreans with HF were recruited between April 2012 and 
      September 2013. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression with SPSS 
      version 21.0. RESULTS: The mean age of participants was 64.1 +/- 7.4 years. A 
      higher proportion of participants were male, married, unemployed, had a high 
      education level, and class I New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional status. 
      A higher proportion of participants had >/=2 comorbidities and the most prevalent 
      comorbidity was diabetes. The mean score of HF knowledge was 6.9 (possible range 
      0-15) and the most frequent incorrect items were "proper actions to reduce 
      thirst" and "causes of leg swelling" in both better and worse QOL groups. Among 
      the recommended lifestyle, pneumococcal vaccination had the least adherence in 
      both groups. Multiple logistic regression showed that patients in NYHA class I, 
      with a higher left ventricular ejection fraction, who had knowledge of "amount of 
      fluid intake a day" and consumed more than moderate alcohol tended to have better 
      QOL. Conclusion: More active interventions targeting HF knowledge in proper 
      actions to reduce thirst, causes of leg swelling, and the amount of fluid intake 
      per day are required. Patients with HF in more serious condition need special 
      attention regarding the risk of worse QOL. The role of alcohol consumption in QOL 
      among HF patients in Korea needs further exploration.
