Child ego state is associated with high prevalence of repeated hospitalizations in patients with heart failure

摘要

AimsInadequate self‐care management is a leading cause of re‐hospitalization in patients with heart failure (HF). Psychological factors such as some ego functions interfere with self‐care behaviour modification, leading to poor outcomes in patients with several chronic diseases. However, characteristics of ego states in patients with repeated hospitalization for HF remain undefined.
