These include physical problems and disabilities in the daily activities of life, emotional problems as well as social and economic problems that are all the consequences of heart disease. The design and implementation of new care models as well as new managerial approaches are necessary to improve care and patients' access to better outcomes and, in general, to improve the quality of life of this group of patients.People with chronic heart disease are surrounded by many problems due to the nature of their illness. These include physical problems and disabilities in the daily activities of life, emotional problems as well as social and economic problems that are all the consequences of heart disease. The design and implementation of new care models as well as new managerial approaches are necessary to improve care and patients' access to better outcomes and, in general, to improve the quality of life of this group of patients.The present study aims to investigate the effect of transitional care on quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure in physical, emotional-spiritual, and socioeconomic dimensions.The present study is an experimental study on patients with chronic heart failure who need nursing care during hospitalization and after discharge from hospital. The data collection tool is Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). The sampling method is random. After the referral to the emergency department, the liaison nurses randomly assigned samples to intervention and control groups. The intervention group was followed up and trained by the liaison nurse for 6 months. The control group members were hospitalized as usual and went through their treatment process. A total of 168 samples were evaluated in both intervention and control groups.The results of the study show that the quality of life of patients in the intervention group is significantly higher than the control group in different physical, emotional-spiritual, and socioeconomic dimensions (P <.05).In the transitional care model, nursing care focuses on improving the quality of care in various physical, emotional-spiritual, and socioeconomic dimensions, which leads to increased patient and family outcomes, reduced hospitalization costs for patients with chronic heart disease, and increased role and effect of home care provided. 2018 artículo científico 1856-4550 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=170263335019 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1702/170263335019/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1702/170263335019/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1702/170263335019/170263335019.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1702/170263335019/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1702 Revista Latinoamericana de Hipertensión application/pdf Sociedad Latinoamericana de Hipertensión Revista Latinoamericana de Hipertensión (República Bolivariana de Venezuela) Num.3 Vol.13
