Improving Medication Adherence Using Family-focused and Literacy-sensitive Strategies (NCT05548413)

Improving Medication Adherence Using Family-focused and Literacy-sensitive Strategies in Patients With Heart Failure

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Jia-Rong Wu

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

People with heart failure who do not take their medications as prescribed are at high risk of complications leading to hospitalization, death and poor quality of life. In the proposed intervention, nurses will use easy-to-understand language to coach patients and their care partners to help them work together and build skills to overcome their individual barriers to adherence in order to 1) improve and sustain patient medication adherence; 2) reduce hospitalization; 3) improve quality of life. If effective, this intervention will support long-term medication adherence, thus reducing hospitalizations related to heart failure and quality of life.
