Theoretical framework of factors influencing effective use of numbers in heart failure (HF) self-care. The theoretical framework is a summation of the thematic content derived from grounded theory, along with features of the word cloud. As shown by their size, social and caregiver support and patient–provider communication emerged as the two most dominant themes. One overarching arrow (left to right), as well as smaller ones, detail the relationship between themes, categories and prominent codes. Solid arrows represent unidirectional relationships, whereas dashed bi-directional arrows represent bidirectional relationships. Input from study participants was incorporated into this final conceptual framework.
