Data were collected using questionnaires on general information, the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI), and the Self-Regulatory Fatigue Scale (SRF-S). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was employed to identify distinct profiles of dyadic coping within the dyads. Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the influence of various factors on profile membership.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean dyadic coping scores were 125.28\u2009\u00b1\u200916.77 for patients and 126.08\u2009\u00b1\u200917.13 for caregivers. LPA identified four distinct latent profiles: Moderate Coping Harmony Group (46.25%), Low Coping Alienation Group (20.31%), Moderate-Low Coping Stress Group (19.38%) and High Coping Synergy Group (14.06%). Significant differences were found among the profiles regarding the patient's marital status, monthly household income per capita, NYHA functional class, and self-regulatory fatigue score, as well as the caregiver's gender, BMI, education level, caregiving duration, caregiving confidence, communication frequency with the patient, understanding of the patient's condition, and self-regulatory fatigue score (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dyadic coping in chronic heart failure patient-caregiver dyads is heterogeneous.
