Objective To search,evaluate and summarize the best evidence of self volume-management for patients with chronic heart failure（CHF） based on the situation-specific theory of heart failure self-care. Methods The computer decision support systems,guideline websites,databases were systematically searched to collect the literature related to self volume-management in CHF patients. The retrieval period is from the establishment of databases to May 4th,2021. 2 researchers assessed the quality of the included literature independently and extracted the evidence. Results A total of 9 articles were included,including 7 clinical practice guidelines and 2 expert consensuses. A total of 13 pieces of evidence have been obtained from 3 aspects including self volume-management maintenance,symptom perception of volume overload,and volume overload management. Conclusion The best evidence should be used to help CHF patients maintain a balance of volume status,recognize changes in volume status as soon as possible,and learn some skills to respond appropriately to volume overload.
