Nurse-Led Weight Monitoring for Heart Failure
This study is testing a simple tool called "Wake and Weigh" to help people with heart failure (HF) better manage their condition and improve their quality of life. The Wake and Weigh tool provides instructions for daily weight monitoring. We want to see if this nurse-led intervention is easy for patients to use and if it can be studied on a larger scale. Participants will be adults aged 55 or older who have heart failure and are currently in the hospital for their symptoms. Half of the participants will use the Wake and Weigh tool, and the other half will receive standard heart failure information. We are looking to enroll 42 people. The study's current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled pilot study with 42 participants. It aims to test methods for a larger study in the future.
- What's involved
- Participants will use the Wake and Weigh tool or receive a heart failure handbook. Surveys will be given at admission and four weeks after discharge.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks post-discharge.
