This research design is an analytical interventional study design using a quasi-experimental method (Quasi Experiment) with a two group pre-posttest control design plan. Researchers used total sampling from a population of 30, all taken as research samples. Based on the sample, the respondents in this study were 30 Congestive Heart Failure patients divided into two groups. The intervention group consisted of 15 patients with Congestive Heart Failure and the control group consisted of 15 patients with Congestive Heart Failure. The sampling technique used in this research is total sampling technique.

Meanwhile, after being given the EduMaSReMu intervention in the intervention group with a significance p-value of 0.003 (<0.05) and therapy according to the program in the control group with a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05), there was an increase in the client's quality of life.
