Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and impact of delivering mobile health self-management interventions to improve adherence to the prescribed treatment in a multimorbid population returning home after hospital discharge.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this three-group repeated-measures randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the use of mobile health (mHealth) self-management technology as a model of care for individuals with multimorbidity. Specifically, this 8-week self-management intervention uses tailored self-management strategies (action planning, goal setting, and individually identified support needs) and mHealth technology for real-time virtual visits, daily messages, and self-monitoring activities. The investigators are testing the additive impact of having the nurse practitioner/community health worker (NP/CHW) team with the mHealth platform (mHealth Plus). The NP evaluates physiological status by evaluating symptoms and tailoring the intervention specific to the individual's multimorbidity while the CHW will assist in recognizing possible solutions to challenging social determinants of health by identifying community resources and guidance in overcoming barriers. The following specific aims will be addressed: Aim 1: To evaluate the feasibility of implementing comparative SM interventions (mHealth and mHealth plus virtual visits with a nurse practitioner and community health worker team) in multimorbid individuals by assessing: a) acceptability of each intervention; b) enrollment (recruitment efficiency, attrition, problems and solutions); c) intervention fidelity (delivery, receipt, enactment of the intervention \[benefits and barriers\]); and d) data collection (technological transfer of data, instrument reliability, the time required, missing data). Aim 2: To examine the impact of delivering the m-Health and m-Health plus interventions compared to standard care (SC) in multimorbid individuals on: a) primary outcome: adherence to disease-specific lifestyle behaviors (e.g. diet and medication, and self-monitoring of physiological measures as needed (e.g. weight blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation); b) secondary outcomes: health related quality of life; c) patient-reported health status; d) symptom status; and e) healthcare utilization.
