Nurse coaching may help heart failure patients avoid hospital visits by mastering fluid control
NCT ID NCT07686536
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a nurse-led program designed to help people with chronic heart failure better manage fluid buildup—a common cause of hospital readmission. The program includes education, emotional support, and practical skills like daily weighing and salt restriction. Researchers will compare this approach to standard care in 88 adults with heart failure, measuring self-care, quality of life, and hospital visits over three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse-led behavioral intervention based on the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could become a standard approach to help heart failure patients manage fluid levels at home, reducing hospital readmissions and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 88 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is complex and may not be feasible in all healthcare settings.
