Identifying psychological needs
Screening and routine monitoring of psychological wellbeing is an essential part of person-centred care for people living with heart failure no matter what stage of disease severity they have.
There are various screening tools available and some require a licence and/or a fee. The British Society for Heart Failure does not recommend any specific screening tool but the PHQ-4 below is validated in heart failure and it is free for health professionals to use.
