Dear patients,
\nDr. Delmas and I invite you to participate in a survey created by the GICC (heart failure and cardiomyopathies group) whose objective is to contribute to better care for patients with heart failure.
\nI'll let you discover the content of the study.<\/p>\n
We need you for an essential study: Romant'IC, carried out by the Heart Failure and Cardiopathy Group of the SFC, which aims to better understand the impact of heart failure on the love life and sexuality of patients.<\/p>\n
Why is this important?<\/p>\n
Love and intimacy are fundamental pillars of human well-being. Yet, in our heart failure patients, physical symptoms (fatigue, shortness of breath, activity limitations) and treatment side effects often affect their ability to fully experience these essential aspects of life, leading to feelings of isolation and deterioration of relationships.
\nWhat are the objectives of this study?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Evaluate the real impact of heart failure on patients' love lives and sexuality.
\n\u2022 Improve their overall care, by integrating these dimensions into our clinical practice.
\n\u2022 Freeing up discussion on subjects that are still too taboo and developing educational tools to better support our patients in their private lives.
\nWe need your participation!
\nTo reach our goal of 1000 completed questionnaires, we are calling on all healthcare professionals working with heart failure patients.<\/p>\n
How to contribute?
\n\u2022 Give a flyer, QR code or paper document (to be returned by email or post) to your patients with heart failure.
\n\u2022 Patients will answer this anonymous questionnaire themselves, available online or in paper format.<\/p>\n
