Background: A heart valve disease is an important cardiovascular disease. Patients need long-term care after heart valve replacement, while promoting such patients’ self-care is very important. In this study, the impacts of family-centered empowerment model on self-care of patients with prosthetic heart valves were assessed. Methods: This clinical controlled study was done at Tehran armed forces hospitals in 2015. After transferring patients from the intensive care unit (ICU), samples of the study and active members of their family were selected through the convenient method. Family-centered empowerment model was performed for the experimental group in four steps: perceived threat, self-efficacy, selfesteem and evaluation through group discussion, group problem solving, educational participation (in three to five sessions) and providing educational cards and manual for the patients and the active members of their family. The control group received routine care. Patients’ self-care was assessed before and after the intervention and also one and half month after the intervention. There was no intervention for the control group. Data analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistical tests via the SPSS
