简要总结
The aim of this mixed methods randomized controlled trial is to test the integrated nurse-led intervention bundle for family home care management of end-stage heart failure and palliative care in rural Appalachia. This intervention bundle is designed to address rural disparities in access to health care, with the help of the faith-based nurses and local volunteer visiting neighbors.
详细描述
This study uses a randomized control trial (RCT) design to test the integrated nurse-led intervention bundle of home palliative care intervention (HF-FamPALhomeCARE) for patients with heart failure (HF) and their family caregivers. (104 patient-family caregiver dyads).
The researcher will compare HF-FamPALhomeCARE to the standard control group to see if the participants in HF-FamPALhomeCARE group will report better health outcomes than the standard control group at the completion of the study at 12 months.
Aim 1: Compared to the control group at 3, 6, 9 months, and 1-year follow-up:
Hypothesis 1a. The patients in the intervention group will have higher scores on HF-related health quality-of-life measure and on the World Health Organization (WHO) aging functional health well-being scale.
Hypothesis 1b. The family caregivers in the intervention group will have higher scores on the World Health Organization (WHO) aging functional health well-being scale.
