Abstrakt:	Background: Self-care and empowerment promotion in patients with heart failure (HF) is essential for improving their prognosis, but there is limited information concerning the patients' depth of knowledge about this pathology as well as patient satisfaction within heart failure units (HFUs). Our objective was to assess both aspects in a cohort of patients regularly followed-up HFUs. Methods: A multicenter, observational study was conducted with consecutive patients followed in 14 HFUs between June and November 2023. It was based on a cross-sectional survey comprising 23 questions related to demographics, knowledge/self-care, and the subjective assessment of perceived quality and satisfaction in HFUs. Results: 281 patients were included (36.7% women, 74.7% aged over 65 years). 48% had hospitalizations for HF or sought emergency department services within the preceding year. The mean correct responses related to knowledge were 9.7 ± 2.3 (80.7% of the total), and 53 patients (18.9%) answered all knowledge questions correctly. 211 (79.6%) could identify potential HF decompensation with abrupt weight gain, and 196 (74.2%) recognized at least three additional signs of worsening HF. 266 patients (98.2%) were likely or very likely to recommend HFUs, and 194 (89.8%) positively appreciated the experience at the day hospital. Conclusions: Patients followed up in HFUs showed adequate but improvable knowledge and capacity for self-care, with a high level of satisfaction.
