Abstract:

Dyadic disease management refers to treating the patient and their caregiver as an interdependent unit,jointly managing the disease. Left ventricular assist device implantation has become an alternative treatment for heart failure patients awaiting heart transplantation or for myocardial functional recovery. However,the complex daily disease management and postoperative complications impose significant burdens on both patients and their caregivers. This article reviews the current status of factors influencing dyadic involvement in disease decision-making,managing daily health behaviors,and emotional support for left ventricular assist device recipients and their caregivers,as well as existing dyadic disease management interventions. The aim is to enhance clinical nursing staff’s awareness of dyadic coping,provide insights for addressing comprehensive care needs,and inform the development of dyadic coping intervention strategies.
