Building Skill in Heart Failure Self-care: A Community Based Intervention
- Conditions
- Heart Failure
- Interventions
- Behavioral: group-based skill building self-care program
- Registration Number
- NCT01894750
- Lead Sponsor
- NYU Langone Health
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to pilot and feasibility test an innovative cognitive behavioral intervention to improve heart failure self-care among community dwelling older adults.The primary aim of this study is to test the effect of the intervention on improving heart failure self-care, knowledge and Health related quality of life at 1 month and 3 months. We will test three hypotheses comparing 60 older adults with heart failure randomly assigned to either the intervention or a control group:
Hypothesis 1. Participants in the intervention group will have significantly improved heart failure self-care than control participants.
Hypothesis 2. Participants in the intervention group will have significantly improved knowledge about heart failure and heart failure self-care than control participants.
Hypothesis 3. Participants in the intervention group will have significantly better Health Related Quality of Life than control participants.
A secondary exploratory aim is to assess and describe implementation feasibility of providing a heart failure self-care intervention in a community group setting.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in baseline heart failure self-care score at one month Change from baseline heart failure self-care at 1 month Heart failure self-care is measured by the valid and reliable instrument the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Change in scores from baseline at one month will be assessed.
Change in baseline heart failure self-care score at 3 months Change from baseline heart failure self-care at 3 months Heart failure self-care is measured by the valid and reliable instrument the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index. Change in scores from baseline to 3 months will be assessed.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in baseline Heart failure knowledge score at 3 month Change in baseline Heart failure knowledge score at 3 month Heart failure knowledge will be measured using the valid and reliable Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge survey. Changes in total heart failure knowledge score from baseline to 3 months will be assessed.
Change in baseline Heart failure knowledge score at 1 month Change in baseline Heart failure knowledge score at 1 month Heart failure knowledge will be measured using the valid and reliable Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge survey. Changes in total score from baseline at 1 month will be assessed.
