Experimental Treatment
Group I: CARE-HFExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The problem-solving intervention will be led by a registered nurse. Participants will receive a program manual containing examples of common HF-related problems experienced by heart failure patients and suggested management strategies, with some strategies tailored to the rural sociocultural context. The nurse will lead participants in a card sorting task intended to help participants prioritize current HF-related problems and will guide participants in developing management strategies for the highest priority problem(s). Participants will utilize these strategies until the next session at which time the nurse will guide participants in evaluating the effectiveness of chosen strategies. The iterative process then begins again. Participants will receive 7 follow-up telephone sessions with the nurse. In the intervention, the nurse will focus on problems related to self-care, disease management, mental health, and quality of life, including those specific to the rural population.
