Brief Summary:
The purpose of the Education and Supportive Partners Improving Self-Care ENSPIRE study is to compare the effect of a Family Partnership Intervention FPI over patient and family education and usual heart failure care on physical and mental health outcomes over an 8-month period The study will examine three ways of giving heart failure patients and their family members information This study will help scientists determine if learning these communication skills will help people with heart failure to better manage their symptoms and improve their health outcomes
Detailed Description:
Heart failure is a condition where the hearts pumping ability is reduced causing shortness of breath fatigue fluid-weight gain and swelling in the abdomen or legs among other symptoms HF patients can learn to manage their diet exercise and medications to reduce these symptoms Research has shown that people who learn communication skills that involve problem solving and support are often more successful at maintaining lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise than those who do not receive this type of training Routine heart failure care varies but usually includes patient education about medications and a low sodium diet to prevent fluid buildup and dietary fluid restriction This study will help advance the scientific understanding of how to best influence and sustain recommended lifestyle changes for HF patients
The study will investigate three ways of giving HF patients and their family members information The first method is routine HF care this serves as the control group The second method adds a patient and family HF education protocol to routine HF care and the third method adds a Family Partnership Intervention FPI The FPI is an experimental procedure that involves discussion and training in ways to improve communication within families The study takes place over the course of a year Two hundred sixty two people and their family members will be asked to participate from Emory Crawford Long the VA Medical Center and Grady Healthcare System
Procedures
All groups will participate in the following activities
Complete questionnaires at start of study then 4 and 8 months afterward 3 times
Keep four appointments lasting 1- 4 hours at the General Clinical Research Center GCRC located at Emory or Grady Hospital
Collect 24-hour urine specimens one at the start of the study then 4 and 8 months afterward 3 times
Keep a 3-day food record writing down everything you eat and drink starting two days before each 24-hour urine collection 3 times
Use a medication monitoring system attached to the bottle cap of your heart failure medications
Take a six-minute walk test in which you walk for up to six minutes at the start of study and then 4 and 8 months afterward 3 times
Provide blood samples for Brain Natriuretic Peptide BNP levels to determine the level of heart failure present at the start of the study and then 4 and 8 months afterward 3 times
In addition to the above activities you will be assigned to one of three groups by a computer program There is a one in three chance of being in any given group
First Method The first group will receive routine HF care in addition to participating in the activities listed above
Second Method The second group will attend two HF education classes with their family member and with a registered nurse and dietician in addition to routine HF care and participating in the activities listed above An educational HF newsletter will be sent and subjects will receive two telephone calls by an RN at two weeks and five months after start of the study 1 time for newsletter and two phone calls
Third Method The third group will attend patient and family HF education classes and support group meetings with their family member in addition to routine HF care and participating in the activities listed above An educational HF newsletter with additional information about building Family Partnerships will be sent and an RN will call at two weeks and five months after start of the study 1 time for newsletter and two phone calls
