- Abstract
Heart Failure (HF) is the highest cause of death worldwide which is chronic in nature characterized by heart problems as a pump unable to meet the needs of blood as a tissue metabolism. Decreased left ventricular contractility reduces cardiac output and increases ventricular volume, if the pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure exceeds vascular osmotic pressure, fluid transduction will occur exceeding the rate of lymphatic drainage, and oedema will occur. Heart failure patients need family support in their daily care because a number of clinical symptoms they experience can damage the body and interfere with the ability to meet the most basic needs. Limiting fluids is one way to deal with symptoms that arise and can be applied by the family independently without the supervision of medical personnel. Research objectives: the purpose of this study was to explore family experiences regarding fluid restriction in CHF patients at dr. Lokemono Hadi Kudus Hospital. Research method: this study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. Participants numbered 8 from the patient’s family with the majority of women and analysis using Colaizzi data. The results of the study: Produced in this study, (1) family decisions are tasks in the health sector to overcome health problems. (2) health stability is adaptation to illness and recovery in taking back responsibilities. (3) control fluid requirements in order to achieve a homeostatic composition of body fluids in CHF patients. (4) family participation is to maintain the health condition of family members so that they have high productivity. Conclusion: Understanding of families in caring for patients with congestive heart failure needs to be explored and in this study families can independently help reduce symptoms by managing fluids that have been educated by health workers. Suggestion: Nurses are expected to be able to provide an explanation of fluid restrictions for families of CHF patients in the integrated heart service unit.
