Structured PICO

Does a nurse-led home-based heart failure management program improve quality of life and drug compliance in outpatient heart failure patients?

P
Population
50 outpatient heart failure patients visiting a tertiary care hospital, followed for 3 months.
I
Intervention
Nurse-led home-based heart failure management program (HOME-N) including formal health teaching, heart failure checklist (Hriday card), weekly telemonitoring of vital parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, and weight) via mobile application (Dhadkan), and telephonic follow-up for 3 months
C
Comparator
Usual routine care
O
Outcome
Quality of life (assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ]) and drug compliance (assessed by adherence to refills and medications scale)patient reported

Main Result

p-value: p=0.001

A nurse-led home-based management program incorporating telemonitoring and structured follow-up significantly improves quality of life and medication adherence in heart failure patients.

Cite This Study

Rai et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in Heart failure (n=50). HOME-N (nurse-led home-based heart failure management program) vs. Usual routine care was evaluated on Quality of life (KCCQ) and drug compliance (p=0.001). A nurse-led home-based heart failure management program (HOME-N) significantly improved quality of life (P=0.001) and drug compliance (P=0.004) compared to usual care over 3 months.
