Which stаtement frоm the аbstrаct best indicates that this is a qualitative study? Title: Living With Heart Failure: Adult Patients’ Perspectives оn Symptоm Burden and Daily Adaptation Background: Adults with chronic heart failure often experience fluctuating symptoms that affect daily functioning. Understanding how patients interpret and manage these symptoms can guide more patientcentered care. Purpose: This study explored how adults with heart failure describe their experiences managing symptom burden in their daily lives. Methods: We conducted indepth semistructured interviews with 22 adults receiving outpatient heart failure care. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis by two independent coders. Results: Three themes emerged: (1) “My Body Has Its Own Schedule,” describing unpredictable symptom patterns; (2) “I’m Always Calculating,” highlighting constant decisionmaking around activity and rest; and (3) “Support Makes the Load Lighter,” emphasizing the role of family and clinicians in coping. Conclusion: Adults with heart failure navigate complex physical and emotional challenges that shape their daily routines. Findings highlight the need for individualized education and support strategies.
