Summary

Researchers at the University of South Carolina are testing a program that pairs nurses with community health workers to coach adults who have chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, or a prior stroke. Each patient joins with a carepartner, such as a family member or friend, and together they attend televisits over about three months. The sessions cover medication routines, symptom management, family support, and connecting to local resources. The goal is to see whether this team approach improves quality of life and reduces anxiety, depression, and fatigue for both people.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a nurse and community health worker coaching program delivered through televisits to patients and their carepartners
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give health systems a practical way to help patients and their carepartners manage chronic conditions together, especially in rural and underserved areas.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral trial, not a drug study, so results depend on whether people stick with the sessions and whether the benefits last. The findings may not apply to patients outside South Carolina or to those with different support systems.
