Colaizzi phenomnological 7-step analysis method was applied to analyze, summarize and refine the theme.Results:Through detailed analysis of data, five themes were extracted, namely, diversification of emotional experience, polarization of nutrition emphasis, dissatisfaction with hospital nutrition support, health related behavior change, and internal drive.Conclusions:Acute decompensated patients with chronic heart failure experience a variety of emotional experiences on nutritional support during hospitalization, and are dissatisfied with hospital nutritional support.
