Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Novel Behavioral Intervention to Promote Adherence in Heart Failure
The focus of this study is to test the efficacy of a 12-week, phone-delivered Positive Psychology-Motivational Interviewing (PP-MI) intervention, with additional twice weekly PP and health behavior text messages for a total of 24 weeks (with interactive, algorithm-driven, goal-focused text messages in the final 12 weeks), compared to an attention-matched MI-based educational condition, in a randomized trial (NIH Stage II) of 280 patients with New York Heart Association class I-III Heart Failure (HF).

Other | Self-report medication adherence (tool from the NHLBI Heart and Soul Study) | Medication adherence will be measured with the self-report medication adherence tool from the NHLBI Heart and Soul Study. | Measured for 14 days at baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks | |
Other | Optimism (Life Orientation Test - Revised [LOT-R]) | Optimism will be measured using the LOT-R, a frequently used 6-item instrument that assesses dispositional optimism. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |
Other | Self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale [GSE]) | Self-efficacy will be measured using the General Self Efficacy scale (GSE), a validated measure of self-efficacy, given its links to improved adherence. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |

Other | Health-related quality of life (Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12 [SF-12]) | The SF-12 will be used to assess health-related quality of life. The SF-12 produces both mental and physical component scores, both of which will be assessed this trial. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |
Other | HF-related quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ] quality of life score) | HF-related quality of life will be assessed using the quality of life score from the KCCQ. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |

Primary | Health behavior adherence | Composite score of overall activity (measured by accelerometer in steps/day), sodium excretion (urine sodium in mEq/day), and medication adherence (Medication Event Monitoring System [MEMS] electronic pill bottle). This composite score will be created by calculating z scores for each individual outcome measure and then averaging them for each participant at each time point. | Baseline, 12 Weeks, 24 Weeks, 48 Weeks | |
Secondary | Physical activity (in steps/day) | Physical activity (steps) will be measured via an accelerometer. We will use established accelerometer protocols to measure the mean number of steps taken per day at each time point. | Measured for 7 days at baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks | |
Secondary | Objective medication adherence (Medication Event Monitoring System [MEMS] pill bottles) | Medication adherence will be measured using MEMS electronic pill bottles. Participants will receive a MEMS pill bottle at the initial study visit and will be asked to put one cardiac medication (loop diuretic, ACE inhibitor, beta blocker, or aspirin, in that order) in the bottle and then use it throughout the study period (48 weeks). Adherence will be measured by the percentage of appropriate bottle openings over a 2-week period at baseline and the follow-up time points. | Measured for 14 days at baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks | |
Secondary | Sodium Excretion (mEq/day) | Objective sodium intake will be assessed through the measurement of urinary sodium excretion. Participants will provide a sample of their second voiding of the day, and from this sample, urine sodium and urine creatinine will be measured. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |
Secondary | Positive Affect (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule [PANAS] positive affect items) | Positive affect will be measured using the 10 positive affect items from the PANAS, a well-validated scale used in numerous other behavioral intervention trials. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks | |
Secondary | Physical Function (PROMIS 20-item Physical Function Short Form [PF-20]) | The PROMIS 20-item short form (PF-20) will be used to assess physical function. | Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks |
