Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design enrolled 200 patients with heart failure at the Cardiac Hospital in Sulaimani City, Iraq. Two groups divided into interventional (n=100) and control (n=100), contributors finalized a full questionnaire covering socio-demographics, level of stress and knowledge about heart failure. Data by face to face interviews, and analysis done by SPSS 26.0 version. Results: The mean age of both groups was 68.3±11.2 years. 72% and 69% of both groups were male respectively.

However, after the program, the intervention group’s score dropped to (37.06±8.26), while the control group’s increased to (50.10±10.62), showing a very highly significant difference with p≤0.001. Similarly, after the program the intervention group’s score decreased to (9.97±2.32), while the control group’s rose to (15.96±2.31), also showing a very highly significant difference with p≤0.001.
