The aim of this mixed methods randomized controlled trial is to test the integrated nurse-led intervention bundle for family home care management of end-stage heart failure and palliative care in rural Appalachia. This intervention bundle is designed to address rural disparities in access to health care, with the help of the faith-based nurses and local volunteer visiting neighbors.
This study uses a randomized control trial (RCT) design to test the integrated nurse-led intervention bundle of home palliative care intervention (HF-FamPALhomeCARE) for patients with heart failure (HF) and their family caregivers. (104 patient-family caregiver dyads).
The researcher will compare HF-FamPALhomeCARE to the standard control group to see if the participants in HF-FamPALhomeCARE group will report better health outcomes than the standard control group at the completion of the study at 12 months.
Aim 1: Compared to the control group at 3, 6, 9 months, and 1-year follow-up:
Hypothesis 1a. The patients in the intervention group will have higher scores on HF-related health quality-of-life measure and on the World Health Organization (WHO) aging functional health well-being scale.
Hypothesis 1b. The family caregivers in the intervention group will have higher scores on the World Health Organization (WHO) aging functional health well-being scale.
Aim 2: Compared to the control group at 3, 6, 9 months, and 1-year follow-up:
Hypothesis 2a. The patients in the intervention group will have (a) lower depression and anxiety scores and (b) higher numbers of signed EOL advance directives.
Hypothesis 2b. The family caregivers in the intervention group will have (a) lower depression and anxiety scores, (b) lower home caregiving burden scores, and (c) improved home HF EOLPC preparedness and improved home palliative care scores.
All participants receive standard care, which is routine HF instruction from their care providers. The HF-FamPALhomeCARE group receives 5-session intervention includes 2 home visits, and 3 bi-weekly telephone calls on HF home EOLPC care. Three follow-up telephone calls will be provided at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Control subjects will receive the same HF home care information after 12-month. Data collection for both groups are conducted at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
