title: [Therapeutic education for cardiac failure patients: the I-care programme].
abstract: Therapeutic education is becoming increasingly important in the management of chronic diseases including cardiac failure. The I-CARE programme consists of an evaluation of the role of therapeutic education in France, creating standardised tools and setting up training sessions for therapeutic education in the context of cardiac failure. Approximately two thirds of the French centres contacted perform therapeutic education with their available means. The lack of personnel, space, and training tools represent obstacles to the development of therapeutic education. The tools developed in the programme fall into 5 areas: diagnosis education, understanding the illness, diet, physical activity/daily life, and treatment. Training sessions were organised for the teams, consisting of at least one cardiologist and nurse. The I-CARE programme should allow the expansion of therapeutic education for cardiac failure and improve the multidisciplinary management of this disease which increasingly affects often elderly subjects.
