Abstract (English): Objective: To map the scientific evidence on the relationship between functional capacity and self-care in patients with heart failure. Methods: Scoping review conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute and guided by PRISMA-ScR. Seven electronic databases and gray literature were consulted. Primary studies with adults (aged 18 years or older) diagnosed with heart failure, published in any language, were included, with independent and double-blind selection. Results: 18 studies were included. Self-care was predominantly assessed using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Functional capacity was primarily assessed using the New York Heart Association functional classification. The relationship between the two is complex and varied, with positive, negative, or absent correlations. Conclusion: The relationship between functional capacity and self-care in patients with heart failure is heterogeneous. Understanding the relationship between self-care and functional capacity can guide healthcare professionals in the assessment and development of personalized interventions (education, exercise support, motivation) for patients with heart failure.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: Mapear la evidencia científica sobre la relación entre la capacidad funcional y el autocuidado en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca. Métodos: Revisión de alcance realizada de acuerdo con el Joanna Briggs Institute y guiada por PRISMAScR. Se consultaron siete bases de datos electrónicas y literatura gris. Se incluyeron estudios primarios con adultos (de 18 años o más) diagnosticados con insuficiencia cardíaca, publicados en cualquier idioma, con una selección independiente y a doble ciego. Resultados: Se incluyeron 18 estudios. El autocuidado se evaluó predominantemente utilizando el Self- Care of Heart Failure Index. La capacidad funcional se evaluó principalmente a través de la clasificación funcional de la New York Heart Association. La relación entre ambos es compleja y variada, con correlaciones positivas, negativas o ausentes. Conclusión: La relación entre la capacidad funcional y el autocuidado en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca es heterogénea. La comprensión de la relación entre el autocuidado y la capacidad funcional puede orientar a los profesionales de la salud en la evaluación y el desarrollo de intervenciones personalizadas (educación, apoyo al ejercicio, motivación) para pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca.

Abstract (Portuguese): Objetivo: Mapear as evidências científicas sobre a relação entre capacidade funcional e autocuidado de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca. Métodos: Scoping review elaborada conforme o Joanna Briggs Institute e orientada pelo PRISMA-ScR. Sete bases de dados eletrônicas e literatura cinzenta foram consultadas. Incluíram-se estudos primários com adultos (idade igual ou superior a 18 anos) diagnosticados com insuficiência cardíaca, publicados em qualquer idioma, com seleção independente e duplo-cega. Resultados: Dezoito estudos foram incluídos. O autocuidado foi avaliado predominantemente pelo instrumento Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. A capacidade funcional foi principalmente avaliada pela classificação funcional da New York Heart Association. A relação entre ambos é complexa e variada, com relações positivas, negativas ou ausentes. Conclusão: A relação entre capacidade funcional e autocuidado em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca é heterogênea. A compreensão da relação entre autocuidado e capacidade funcional pode guiar profissionais de saúde na avaliação e no desenvolvimento de intervenções personalizadas (educação, suporte ao exercício, motivação) de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca.
