Abstrakt:	Objectives This study aimed to assess the health education needs of heart failure patients at King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh. It also sought to identify the preferred methods of health education and the challenges these patients face during educational sessions. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional survey study was conducted between January 2024 and June 2024. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, designed based on previous studies and established frameworks. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21. Results The study found that health education is crucial and highly sought after by many Saudi patients. Different patients have varying requirements for health education, with one-on-one sessions led by physicians identified as the most preferred method. However, patients frequently encountered challenges, including unclear medical terminology, insufficient time for questions, and an overwhelming amount of information. Concerns were also raised about the educators' listening skills and the effectiveness of their educational approach. Conclusion To address these challenges, it is recommended that health education needs be integrated into clinic visits, involving all relevant healthcare professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, and physicians. This integration can ensure that patients receive comprehensive knowledge about their conditions, thereby improving their health behaviors and outcomes.
