Motivational interviewing to improve the self-care behaviors for patients with chronic heart failure: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the effect of motivational interviewing on the self-care behaviours in patients with chronic heart failure.

Methods

Sixty-two hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure were recruited in this study from April 2014 to April 2015 from a hospital. Twenty-nine patients were in the intervention group, and 33 patients were in the control group. Patients in the intervention group received four sessions of motivational interviewing, whereas those in the control group received traditional health education. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-discharge, the intervention group underwent telephone follow-up based on motivational interviewing, whereas the control group underwent routine telephone follow-up. Primary outcome was measured using the Self-care of Heart Failure Index at baseline and at 2 months post-discharge.

Results

Before intervention, the self-care behaviours scores were 79.00?±?48.80 in the intervention group and 88.68?±?29.26in the control group. No statistically significant differences were found between two groups in scores for each subscale and total scale (P?>?0.05). After intervention, the scores of self-care behaviours in the two groups were both improved at 155.13?±?35.65 for the intervention group and 115.44?±?22.82 for the control group with statistically significance (P?P?ConclusionsThe self-care behaviours of patients with chronic heart failure could be improved effectively through motivational interviewing.

Project description:BackgroundHeart failure (HF) is characterized by an increasing prevalence, representing a public health problem and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Self-care is a cornerstone approach for optimizing therapy for patients with HF. Patients play a crucial role in managing their condition, given that several adverse health outcomes might be avoided with adequate self-care. In this regard, the literature describes motivational interviewing (MI) as highly favorable for treating chronic diseases, with promising results supporting its efficacy in enhancing self-care. Moreover, caregivers' availability constitutes a fundamental supporting factor among the strategies to improve self-care behaviors in people with HF.ObjectiveThe primary study aim is to test the efficacy of a structured program, including scheduled MI interventions, in improving self-care maintenance in the 3-month follow-up from the enrollment. Secondary aims comprehend the assessment of the effectiveness of the above intervention on secondary outcomes (eg, self-care monitoring, quality of life, sleep disturbance) and the corroboration of the superiority of caregivers' participation to the intervention over the program administrated only to individual patients in enhancing self-care behaviors and other outcomes at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months from the enrollment.MethodsThis study protocol designed a prospective, parallel-arm, open-label, 3-arm, controlled trial. The MI intervention will be administered by nurses trained in HF self-care and MI; the education program will be provided to nurses by an expert psychologist. Analyses will be performed within the framework of intention-to-treat analysis. Comparisons between groups will be based on an alpha of 5% and 2-tailed null hypotheses. In the case of missingness, analyzing the extent of the missingness and identifying underlying mechanisms and patterns will guide imputation methods.ResultsThe data collection was started in May 2017. We completed the data collection with the last follow-up in May 2021. We plan to perform data analysis by December 2022. We plan to publish the study results within March 2023.ConclusionsMI enhances potential self-care practices in patients with HF and their caregivers. Although MI is effectively largely employed either alone or combined with other treatments and is administered in different settings and ways, face-to-face interventions seem to be more effective. Dyads with higher shared HF knowledge are more efficient in promoting self-care adherence behaviors. Moreover, patients and caregivers may perceive proximity with health care professionals, resulting in a better ability to follow the received health professionals' directions. The scheduled in-person meetings with patients and caregivers will be exploited to administer MI, respecting all the safety regulations for infection containment. The conduction of this study may support changes in clinical practice to include MI to improve self-care for patients with HF.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05595655; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05595655.International registered report identifier (irrid)DERR1-10.2196/44629.

Project description:BackgroundA lack of adherence and inadequate self-care behaviours are common reasons for recurrent hospitalizations among patients with heart failure (HF). Although patients recognize the importance of HF self-care, it is sometimes difficult to correct their behavioural patterns. Motivational interviewing is a communication technique to resolve ambivalence towards changing behaviour, and it has been widely used to promote behavioural changes and improve outcomes in various chronic diseases. We described a case of advanced HF with reduced ejection fraction in which motivational interviewing lead to stabilize the patient's condition.Case summaryA 33-year-old man was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy who experienced repeated episodes of HF requiring hospitalization despite optimal guideline-based HF treatment. Transthoracic echocardiography disclosed a severely reduced left ventricular (LV) contraction (LV ejection fraction 18%) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing disclosed markedly reduced functional capacity and increased ventilatory response (peak VO2 of 10.7 mL/min/kg, predicted peak VO2 of 34.7% and VE/VCO2 slope of 35.2). In this case, poor adherence to self-care such as excessive fluid intake and excessive daily activities after hospital discharge was the main cause of recurrent hospitalization for HF. Despite repeated patient education to correct his diet and lifestyle, he could not change his lifestyle behaviour. However, motivational interviewing dramatically helped stabilize the patient's condition and prevent HF re-hospitalization.DiscussionIn general, patients with advanced HF and reduced ejection fraction despite optimal medical therapy should be evaluated to assess their eligibility of cardiac transplantation or palliative care. Motivational interviewing might represent a new therapeutic approach for stabilizing and preventing HF through self-care behavioural changes, even in patients with advanced HF and severely reduced ejection fraction.

Project description:BackgroundAs the burden of cardiovascular disease increases in sub-Saharan Africa, there is a growing need for low-cost interventions to mitigate its impact. Providing self-care health education to patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) is recommended as an intervention to prevent complications, improve quality of life, and reduce financial burdens on fragile health systems. However, little is known about health education's effectiveness at improving CHF self-management adherence in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore the present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention to improve self-care adherence among patients with CHF at Debre Markos and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals in Northwest Ethiopia.MethodsTo address this gap, we adapted a health education intervention based on social cognitive theory comprising of intensive four-day training and, one-day follow-up sessions offered every four months. Patients also received illustrated educational leaflets. We then conducted a clustered randomized control trial of the intervention with 186 randomly-selected patients at Debre Markos and Felege Hiwot referral hospitals. We collected self-reported data on self-care behavior before each educational session. We analyzed these data using a generalized estimating equations model to identify health education's effect on a validated 8-item self-care adherence scale.ResultsSelf-care adherence scores were balanced at baseline. After the intervention, patients in the intervention group (n = 88) had higher adherence scores than those in the control group (n = 98). This difference was statistically significant (β = 4.15, p < 0.05) and increased with each round of education. Other factors significantly associated with adherence scores were being single (β = - 0.25, p < 0.05), taking aspirin (β = 0.76, p < 0.05), and having a history of hospitalization (β = 0.91, p < 0.05).ConclusionsWe find that self-care education significantly improved self-care adherence scores among CHF patients. This suggests that policymakers should consider incorporating self-care education into CHF management.Trial registration numberPACTR201908812642231.
