  - "                    Introduction - \r\n                    Chronic heart failure
    (CHF) affects millions and burdens health systems through high morbidity and mortality.
    Guidelines emphasise the need for self‐management. Yet the specific strategies
    patients use to perceive, appraise, and respond to symptoms remain insufficiently
    described. Symptom management is a core component of self‐management and directly
    shapes illness trajectories and quality of life.\r\n                  <br />\r\n
    \                   Objectives - \r\n                    To identify and map behaviours
    and strategies of adults with CHF to manage symptoms in daily life.\r\n                  <br
    />\r\n                    Methods - \r\n                    We conducted a scoping
    review of MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Livivo and Cochrane Library (2006–2024).
    Data were analysed using Mayring's qualitative content analysis. Categories were
    derived deductively from heart failure guidelines and Dodd's Symptom Management
    Model and inductively from included studies. The category system was aligned with
    Dodd's Symptom Management Model, which guided the structuring of findings into
    symptom experience, management strategies, and outcomes.\r\n                  <br
    />\r\n                    Results - \r\n                    Thirty‐one reports
    (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods) met the inclusion criteria. Patients
    deploy diverse strategies across five domains: medication management, symptom
    monitoring, adjustment of daily activities, fluid and weight management, and lifestyle
    modification. Social support is pivotal. Many patients deviate from recommendations
    to balance demands, gaining short‐term relief at the potential expense of long‐term
    control. Such deviations function as pragmatic coping and indicate unmet information
    and structural needs.\r\n                  <br />\r\n                    Discussion
    - \r\n                    Patients’ behaviours are integral to symptom management
    and should inform context‐sensitive professional support and care. Involving family
    members and utilising digital tools could enhance monitoring, decision‐making,
    and quality of life. Future work should apply Dodd's Symptom Management Model
    to clarify links between symptom experience, strategies, and outcomes and to develop
    approaches feasible and compatible with daily life.\r\n                  <br />\r\n
    \                   Patient or Public Contribution - \r\n                    After
    completing the core scoping review work, we conducted a PPIE session with a person
    living with heart failure (NYHA III) to validate the category system, the presentation
    of results, and practice implications. The feedback enhanced interpretability
    (micro‐level strategies) and supported a destigmatising view of non‐recommended
    behaviours.\r\n                  @eng"
