The aim of this work was to identify the main contextual factors and processes that influence patients' self-care of heart failure (HF). ⋯ HF self-care is influenced by contextual elements that fall outside of traditional elements of a HF self-care program. Inclusion of these elements may help to address the current concerns about poor adherence to self-management programs.
