项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): Multiple aspects of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 focus on reducing 30-day all-cause hospital readmission rates among heart failure patients, and African American men with heart failure may be among those at highest risk for rehospitalization following discharge. Chronic disease management programs are among the many tools used to improve heart failure self-care as well as reduce readmission rates. However, most chronic disease management programs are staffed by health care professionals limiting the generalizability of this model in some resource-poor communities. Therefore, laypersons, such as patient navigators, may be a viable alternative for the delivery of heart failure self-care education and the provision of emotional and instrumental support for heart failure self-care. In minority cancer populations, patient navigators have been effective in improving diagnostic and treatment outcomes by educating patients and assisting them with barriers to care. Patient navigators may be well-suited to perform comparable tasks, among African American men with heart failure, to address their unique barriers to self-care, including low heart failure symptom recognition and more frequent treatment-seeking delays. The use of laypersons trained as patient navigators may lead to health care solutions for high heart failure readmission rates, but the cost-effectiveness of such an approach is largely unknown. Therefore, in the Patient NAVIgation to Reduce Readmissions among Black Men with Heart Failure (NAVI-HF) study, we propose to recruit 416 African American men with heart failure receiving inpatient care at UAB Hospital and randomize them either to HF self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan (Patient Navigation + Education arm) after discharge or to HF self-care education alone (Educational Control arm). We will compare participant outcomes such as 30-day all-cause readmission rates, heart failure selfcare adherence as well as cost-effectiveness across the two intervention arms. Our Specific Aims are: 1) To assess the 30-day all-cause readmission rates among male African Amencan HF patients receiving HF self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus heart failure self-care education alone 2) To assess the heart failure self-efficacy and heart failure self-care adherence among male African American HF patients receiving heart failure self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus heart failure self-care education alone 3) To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of heart failure self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus heart failure self-care education alone

项目摘要（参见说明）： 2010 年《平价医疗法案》的多个方面重点关注降低心力衰竭患者 30 天全因住院率，患有心力衰竭的非裔美国男性可能是出院后再住院风险最高的人群之一。慢性病管理计划是用于改善心力衰竭自我护理以及降低再入院率的众多工具之一。然而，大多数慢性病管理项目均由医疗保健专业人员组成，限制了该模型在一些资源匮乏社区的普遍适用性。所以，外行人员，例如患者导航员，可能是提供心力衰竭自我护理教育以及为心力衰竭自我护理提供情感和工具支持的可行替代方案。在少数癌症人群中，患者导航员通过教育患者并帮助他们克服护理障碍，有效改善了诊断和治疗结果。患者导航员可能非常适合在患有心力衰竭的非裔美国男性中执行类似的任务，以解决他们自我护理的独特障碍，包括心力衰竭症状识别度低和更频繁地寻求治疗延误。使用经过培训的非专业人士作为患者导航员可能会带来针对高心力衰竭再入院率的医疗保健解决方案，但这种方法的成本效益在很大程度上尚不清楚。因此，在减少黑人心力衰竭患者再入院的患者导航 (NAVI-HF) 研究中，我们建议招募 416 名在 UAB 医院接受住院治疗的患有心力衰竭的非裔美国男性，并将他们随机分配到心力衰竭自我护理教育和出院后患者导航器提供的自我护理计划（患者导航 + 教育臂）或单独的 HF 自我护理教育（教育控制臂）。我们将比较参与者的结果，例如 30 天全因再入院率、心力衰竭自我护理依从性以及两个干预组的成本效益。我们的具体目标是： 1) 评估接受心力衰竭自我护理教育加患者导航员提供的自我护理计划与单独心力衰竭自我护理教育的非洲 Amencan 男性心力衰竭患者 30 天全因再入院率 2) 评估接受心力衰竭自我护理教育加患者导航员提供的自我护理计划与单独心力衰竭自我护理教育的非裔美国男性心力衰竭患者的心力衰竭自我效能和心力衰竭自我护理依从性 3) 评估心力衰竭自我护理教育加上患者导航员提供的自我护理计划与单独心力衰竭自我护理教育的成本效益
