Interventions to Improve Daily Activity in Heart Failure

NCT02331524 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

Last updated 2017-02-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There are few studies that demonstrate how to best improve daily activity in people with heart failure (HF). Exercise alone has been shown to be ineffective, but other techniques such as daily activity feedback with encouragement or health coaching may be helpful. This research study will investigate two different treatment approaches for improving daily activity: 1) daily activity feedback and encouragement, and 2) health coaching with an individualized home exercise program. Both treatment approaches are hypothesized to result in improved daily activity compared to a control group.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Activity Feedback and Encouragement

The Daily Activity Feedback/ Encouragement group will receive weekly feedback and encouragement regarding daily activity using the Fitbit Zip® for 3 months. Visual feedback and verbal encouragement will be provided. Visual feedback will provide graphics showing current and historical daily activity trends since the start of the intervention period. Subjects in the Feedback group will also receive standardized verbal feedback based upon the Fitbit Zip data. For example, subjects demonstrating a trend of increasing daily activity will be encouraged to "Continue what you are doing. You are doing great!"

OTHER

Health Coaching/Home Exercise

The Health Coaching/Home Exercise group will receive 12 weekly health coaching and physical therapy visits for 3 months. Health coaching will be provided by a trained, highly experienced health and wellness coach. In-home health coaching sessions will be provided monthly (total of 3) with the remaining 9 sessions provided telephonically. Initial health coaching sessions will include the utilization of motivational interviewing to establish individualized, three-month goals related to symptoms, function, and/or daily activity, with subsequent sessions celebrating successes in and/or identifying barriers to achieving these goals.
