This dissertation by Maria Liljeroos evaluates the long-term effects of a psycho-educational intervention for dyads affected by heart failure. The study focuses on patients and their partners, examining health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, perceived control, and caregiver burden over a 24-month period. Despite no significant improvements in the measured outcomes, the research highlights the critical role of partners in home care and the need for better support systems for dyads. The intervention included cognitive, supportive, and behavioral components, emphasizing the importance of education, clinic visits, and community support. This work aims to guide future clinical practices and interventions.

This dissertation by Hanna Allemann focuses on the development and evaluation of online support systems for informal carers of individuals with heart failure. It explores the perceptions, experiences, and effectiveness of these digital support solutions. The research highlights the significant role informal carers play in the well-being of heart failure patients and examines how co-designed online programs can provide accessible and cost-effective support. The findings suggest that while online support can be beneficial, it might not cater to all carers' preferences. The work is aimed at healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers interested in improving support mechanisms for caregivers in a medical context.
