Abstract: Jordanians are more at risk for heart failure now than in years prior. However, there are few studies addressing heart failure self-care in Jordanians. Identifying predictors that promote heart failure self-care among Jordanian patients is crucial in providing comprehensive care. This study aimed to identify predictors of self-care behaviors among Jordanians with heart failure. A cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 300 Jordanian patients was performed in an educational hospital in the north of Jordan. Differences in the level of self-care between selected sociodemographic and clinical variables were identified using univariate statistics, and multiple regression was used to adjust estimates for covariates. The predictors of self-care were insomnia ( p  ≤ .001) and marital status ( p  = .018). Identifying factors influencing self-care can assist with addressing the causes of insomnia to ensure effective treatment, providing patients with social support, and eventually promoting heart failure self-care.
