چکیده انگلیسی
The present study aims to synthesize current evidence on the impact of LVAD implantation on quality of life. Current evidence was systematically reviewed to obtain relevant quantitative and qualitative articles published after 2007. Sandelowski's recommended steps for meta-summary were used to analyze the 19 studies that met the inclusion criteria. LVADs can improve HF symptoms and some aspects of QoL. Emotional and physical adaptation involves many changes and learning to manage the device takes time. Functional limitations still exist and patients still lack independence. LVAD-related complications significantly impact QoL. Psychological distress remains high after implantation. LVADs significantly impact the caregiver as well and their perspective is not well heard in the existing evidence. It is important for providers to have ongoing, in-depth discussions with patients and their caregivers regarding treatment options, goals of care, anticipated end-of-life trajectories with an LVAD, possible LVAD-complications, and the caregiver burden associated with an LVAD.
