dc.description<p>24th International Nursing Research Congress Theme: Bridge the Gap Between Research and Practice Through Collaboration. Held at the Hilton Prague Hotel.</p>en
dc.description.abstract<p>Session presented on: Monday, July 22, 2013:</p> <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The purpose of this study focused on the predictive effects of proximity to health care, general health perception, and knowledge of HF on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the veteran population.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A correlational, cross-sectional survey design using four survey instruments (demographic data, SF-12, Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scale, Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index-Cardiac Version-IV). Data obtained was used to test the hypothesis.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The findings showed the HRQOL model was unidirectional and that the only predictive variable on HRQOL was proximity to health care.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Limitations inherent in a small sample size and a translated instrument may have affected the findings. Implications include a qualitative study to understand the veterans' idea of their quality of life and a larger quantitative study.</p>en
