Summary

This pilot study tested a 6-month nurse coaching program called ENABLE for heart failure patients and their caregivers in Singapore. The program aims to educate, nurture, and advise patients and caregivers to improve quality of life. The study enrolled 125 participants to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and to get an early look at whether it might help.
