A randomized controlled trial to assess effectiveness of a nurse-led home-based heart failure management program
Introduction: The burden of cardiovascular disease is increasing in India. It is a chronic condition, and poor management can increase the risk and frequency of acute episodes resulting in poor quality of life (QOL), frequent hospital admissions, and mortality. Disease management programs can improv...

It is a chronic condition, and poor management can increase the risk and frequency of acute episodes resulting in poor quality of life (QOL), frequent hospital admissions, and mortality. Disease management programs can improve medication adherence and patient's QOL. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of nurse-led home-based heart failure management program (HOME-N). Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted among fifty outpatient heart failure (HF) patients visiting a tertiary care hospital. The control group received usual routine care, whereas the experimental group received HOME-N, which included formal health teaching, a HF checklist (Hriday card), telemonitoring of vital parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, and weight) weekly through a mobile application named as “Dhadkan” and telephonic follow-up for 3 months. Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and adherence to refills and medications scale were used to assess QOL and drug adherence, respectively, in the study patients. The outcome measures were the QOL, drug compliance, hospitalization, and mortality rate. Results: At baseline, the demographic and morbidity profile, and QOL and drug compliance scores of both groups were comparable. After intervention, the QOL domain score of KCCQ as well as drug compliance improved significantly both within the experimental group (P = 0.001, P = 0.001) and as compared to control group (P = 0.001, P = 0.004, respectively). Conclusion: The HOME-N was significantly effective in improving QOL and drug compliance in HF patients.http://www.j-pcs.org/article.asp?issn=2395-5414;year=2017;volume=3;issue=1;spage=28;epage=33;aulast=RaiDrug complianceheart failurehospitalizationmortalitynurse-led home-based heart failure management programquality of life |
