Aims: To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of Health Coaching in empowering hospitalised chronic heart failure patients.
Methods: pre-post quasi-experimental pilot study was carried out with 59 patients, allocated into the pre-intervention group (N=29) and post-intervention group (N=30) in a cardiology ward of a hospital. The intervention consisted of the knowledge traslation acquired on health coaching by the nurses of the cardiology unit to their care activity with CHF patients. The Patient empowerment in long-term conditions Questionnaire was used to measure heart failure patients: Attitude and sense of control; Shared and informed decision-making; and Information seeking and peer sharing, on two occasions: T1, pre-intervention, and T2, after completion of the intervention.
Data collection:
Data collection was carried out by two members of the research team, who were not directly involved in the care of the patients, at two points in time: T1, pre-intervention, and T2, post-intervention. Two questionnaires were used for data collection:

The intervention consisted of transferring the knowledge acquired on health coaching by the nurses of the cardiology unit to their care activity with CHF patients. To this end, all the nurses in the cardiology unit received two training packages: 1) five theoretical and practical sessions on health coaching competencies, emotional intelligence, communication and support for CHF patients in the hospital setting; and 2) training sessions 7 months after the first training package to reinforce the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in health coaching. During this period, debriefing was carried out to provide feedback on the health coaching process with patients.
