Study protocol presentation: impact of nursing coaching tele-monitoring for patients with heart failure discharged at home

From 14 to 17 December last, the 84th Congress of the Italian Society of Cardiology was held in Roma, a prestigious event that brought together top Italian experts to discuss and share the latest scientific advances in cardiology.  

 

Dr. Ines Basso, representing the group of Nurses Researchers of University of Piemonte Orientale, led by Prof. Dal Molin, presented the protocol of the study relating to the Research Module 1 of the Flagship Project TINCARE.

 

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new care model aimed at facilitating the transition from hospital to home for individual hospitalized following an episode of heart failure in reducing hospital readmissions. An experienced nurse will conduct a support intervention to help the patient and their family to improve their self-care and self-manage the disease, also thanks to the use of innovative technological devices to early detect any worsening conditions. 

Given the progressive ageing of the population, it is important to design new treatment solutions that can ensure sustainability and effectiveness in responding to the health needs of a society that is changing the demographic structure of its population.
