The current study examined racial and ethnic differences in psychological, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD conditions among family caregivers (FCGs) of persons with dementia. We used the 2015–2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. The sample included a total of 6,132 FCGs of persons with dementia. Compared to non-Hispanic White FCGs, non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic Asian FCGs were less likely to have depression. The Other racial/ethnic FCG group was more likely to currently smoke. Non-Hispanic Black FCGs were less likely to have exercised, more likely to be obese, and more likely to have been diagnosed with diabetes. No differences in CVD conditions (e.g., angina/coronary heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction) were detected between racial/ethnic minority FCGs and non-Hispanic White FCGs. Future studies should investigate relationships between racial/ethnic minority–specific caregiving and CVD by including a larger, racially and ethnically diverse population of FCGs.

Research on caregiver burden and related psychological distress has been widely studied. However, little research has focused on perspectives and experiences of older family caregivers of persons with heart failure on engaging in physical exercise to improve their health and wellness. We investigated barriers and facilitators influencing physical activity engagement for older family caregivers of persons with heart failure through a qualitative descriptive study design utilizing participant interviews. The social cognitive theory framework guided the thematic analysis. Identified themes and subthemes that emerged were centered around the framework's interrelated personal, environmental, and behavioral factors. Self-efficacy emerged as a central construct facilitating engagement in physical activity. The older family caregivers embraced technology for physical activity interventions more readily since the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged increased technology use. The age-related and caregiving barriers to physical activity found in this study highlight considerations for an older family caregiver and guide interventions for future family caregivers' engagement.

Tailored physical activity (PA) programs using digital health technologies in the home can promote family caregivers' (FCGs) physical function and psychological wellbeing. However, there is a gap in research for digital health PA interventions targeting older FCGs of persons with HF (HF-FCGs). The burden of caregiving for persons with HF may displace the FCG's self-care, including PA. Therefore, we examined older HF-FCGs' perceptions and attitudes toward three technology components (video-conferencing, fitness tracker, text messaging) that would be most useful in delivering a digital health PA program. Interviews were conducted with 13 HF-FCGs (≥65 years old) between January and April 2021. Directed content analysis was used and the analysis was guided by the adapted unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. In addition to HF-FCGs' perceptions and attitudes toward each technology component in each construct of the adapted UTAUT model (ease of use, usefulness, facilitating conditions), three additional factors were associated with intention to use technology. These were: (1) HF patients' positive experience, (2) digital skills, and (3) quality of internet connectivity. The findings provide digital health requirements for design and modification of a technology-supported PA program that engages older FCGs who care for persons with HF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively affected the health and well-being of family care partners of older adults with heart failure (HF-FCPs). The purpose of the current study was to examine the caregiving experiences and coping strategies of older HF-FCPs during the ongoing pandemic. Qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with 13 HF-FCPs (aged ≥65 years) from January to April 2021. Three themes emerged: (1) Impact on Physical, Mental, and Social Health; (2) Limitations of Using Health Care Services; and (3) Coping Strategies. During the pandemic, HF-FCPs had increased caregiving burden due to managing their own age-related health and providing care to their family member with heart failure. After 1 year of COVID-19, they adjusted by increasing use of telecommunication platforms and following prevention and protection strategies. During the ongoing pandemic, emotional and social support, respite care, and digital health support for older HF-FCPs would be beneficial for improving their physical, mental, and social health.

Background: Home care workers, as paid caregivers, assist with many aspects of home-based heart failure care. However, most home care workers do not receive systematic training on end-of-life care for heart failure patients. Aim: To elicit the educational needs and priorities of home care workers caring for community- dwelling adults with heart failure at the end-of-life. Design: Nominal group technique involving a semi-quantitative structured group process and point rating system was used to designate the importance of priorities elicited from home care workers. Individual responses to the question, " If you have ever cared for a heart failure patient who was dying (or receiving end-of-life care on hospice), what are some of the challenges you faced?", were aggregated into categories using directed content analysis methods. Setting/Participants: Forty-one home care workers were recruited from a non-profit training and education organization in New York City. Results: Individual responses to the question were aggregated into five categories: (1) how to cope and grieve; (2) assisting patients with behavior changes, (3) supporting patients to improve their quality of life, (4) assisting patients with physical symptom management, and (5) symptom recognition and assessment. Conclusions: Our findings confirm the need for the formal development and evaluation of an educational program for home care workers to improve the care of heart failure patients at the end-of-life. There is also a need for research on integrating home care workers into the interprofessional healthcare team to support optimal health outcomes for patients with heart failure.

- Abstract
Background: Use of hospice has grown among patients with heart failure; however, gaps remain in the ability of agencies to tailor services to meet their needs. Aim: This study describes the implementation of a cardiac home hospice program and insights for dissemination to other hospice programs. Design: We conducted a multimethod analysis structured around the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Settings/Participants: We used electronic medical records for our quantitative data source and interviews with hospice clinicians from a not-for-profit hospice agency (N = 32) for our qualitative data source. Results: Reach—A total of 1273 participants were enrolled in the cardiac home hospice program, of which 57% were female and 42% were black or Hispanic with a mean age was 86 years. Effectiveness—The cardiac home hospice program increased hospice enrollment among patients with heart failure from 7.9% to 9.5% over 1 year (2016-2017). Adoption—Institutional factors that supported the program included the acute need to support medically complex patients at the end of life and an engaged clinical champion. Implementation—Program implementation was supported by interdisciplinary teams who engaged in care coordination. Maintenance—The program has been maintained for over 3 years. Conclusion: The cardiac home hospice program strengthened hospice clinicians' ability to confidently provide care for patients with heart failure, expanded awareness of their symptoms among clinicians, and was associated with increased enrollment of patients with heart failure over the study period. This RE-AIM evaluation provides lessons learned and strategies for future adoption, implementation, and maintenance of a cardiac home hospice program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
There is little research on the relationship between digital health technology use and health services, self-efficacy, health status, and health information seeking behavior among older family caregivers. We conducted a secondary analysis of the US Health Information National Data and found that older family caregivers with a regular healthcare provider are more likely to use digital health technology, which increases their confidence in obtaining health information (β=0.075, z=2.015, p<0.044).

Background: Despite a majority of persons receiving hospice care in their homes, there are gaps in understanding how to facilitate goals of care conversations between persons with heart failure and healthcare providers. Aim: To identify barriers and facilitators which shape goals of care conversations for persons with heart failure in the context of home hospice. Design: A qualitative descriptive study design was used with semi-structured interviews. Setting/participants: We conducted qualitative interviews with persons with heart failure, family caregivers, and interprofessional healthcare team members at a large not-for-profit hospice agency in New York City between March 2018 and February 2019. Results: A total of 39 qualitative interviews were conducted, including with healthcare team members (e.g. nurses, physicians, social workers, spiritual counselors), persons with heart failure, and family caregivers. Three themes emerged from the qualitative interviews regarding facilitators and barriers in goals of care conversations for better decision-making: (1) trust is key to building and maintaining goals of care conversations; (2) lack of understanding and acceptance of hospice inhibits goals of care conversations; and (3) family support and engagement promote goals of care conversations. Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest that interventions designed to improve goals of care conversations in the home hospice setting should focus on promoting understanding and acceptance of hospice, family support and engagement, and building trusting relationships with interprofessional healthcare teams.

OBJECTIVES Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures can monitor patients with chronic illnesses outside of healthcare settings. Unfortunately, few applications that collect electronic PROMIS measures are designed using inclusive design principles that ensure wide accessibility and usability, thus limiting use by older adults with chronic illnesses. Our aim was to establish the feasibility of using an inclusively designed mobile application tailored to older adults to report PROMIS measures by examining (1) PROMIS scores collected with the application, (2) patient‐reported usability of the application, and (3) differences in usability by age. DESIGN Cross‐sectional feasibility study. SETTING Inpatient and outpatient cardiac units at an urban academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS A total of 168 English‐ and Spanish‐speaking older adults with heart failure. INTERVENTION Participants used an inclusively designed mobile application to self‐report PROMIS measures. MEASUREMENTS Eleven PROMIS Short‐Form questionnaires (Anxiety, Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities, Applied Cognition‐Abilities, Depression, Emotional Distress‐Anger, Fatigue, Global Mental Health, Global Physical Health; Pain Interference, Physical Function, Sleep Disturbance), and a validated health technology usability survey measuring Perceived Ease‐of‐Use and Usefulness of the application. RESULTS: Overall, 27% of participants were between 65 and 74 years of age, 10% were 75 years or older, 63% were male, 32% were white, and 96% had two or more medical conditions. There was no missing PROMIS data, and mean PROMIS scores showed the greatest burden of pain, fatigue, and physical function in the sample. Usability scores were high and not associated with age (Perceived Ease‐of‐Use P =.77; Perceived Usefulness P =.91). CONCLUSION: It is feasible for older adults to use an inclusively designed application to report complete PROMIS data with high perceived usability. To ensure data completeness and the opportunity to study multiple domains of physical, mental, and social health, future work should use inclusive design principles for applications collecting PROMIS measures among older adults.

- Abstract
Objectives: Patients increasingly use patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to self-monitor their health status. Visualizing PROs longitudinally (over time) could help patients interpret and contextualize their PROs. The study sought to assess hospitalized patients' objective comprehension (primary outcome) of text-only, non-graph, and graph visualizations that display longitudinal PROs.Materials and Methods: We conducted a clinical research study in 40 hospitalized patients comparing 4 visualization conditions: (1) text-only, (2) text plus visual analogy, (3) text plus number line, and (4) text plus line graph. Each participant viewed every condition, and we used counterbalancing (systematic randomization) to control for potential order effects. We assessed objective comprehension using the International Organization for Standardization protocol. Secondary outcomes included response times, preferences, risk perceptions, and behavioral intentions.Results: Overall, 63% correctly comprehended the text-only condition and 60% comprehended the line graph condition, compared with 83% for the visual analogy and 70% for the number line (P = .05) conditions. Participants comprehended the visual analogy significantly better than the text-only (P = .02) and line graph (P = .02) conditions. Of participants who comprehended at least 1 condition, 14% preferred a condition that they did not comprehend. Low comprehension was associated with worse cognition (P < .001), lower education level (P = .02), and fewer financial resources (P = .03).Conclusions: The results support using visual analogies rather than text to display longitudinal PROs but caution against relying on graphs, which is consistent with the known high prevalence of inadequate graph literacy. The discrepancies between comprehension and preferences suggest factors other than comprehension influence preferences, and that future researchers should assess comprehension rather than preferences to guide presentation decisions.

Effective delivery of healthcare is highly interdependent within and between interprofessional (IP) care teams and the patients they serve. This is particularly true for complex health conditions such as advanced heart failure (AHF). Our Academic Practice Partnership received funding to carry out IP workforce development with inpatient AHF care teams. Our objectives were to (a) identify challenges in team functioning that affected communication and relationships among the AHF care teams, (b) collaboratively identify a focal work process in need of improvement, and (c) test whether facilitated the implementation of team training and work process changes would lead to improvements in team communication, relationships, and process outcomes. The health-care team identified implementation of structured IP bedside rounds (SIBR) as the preferred approach to improving collaborative care. Utilizing a cross-sectional pre/post design, changes in team communication and relationships before and after a team intervention that included TeamSTEPPS training and SIBR implementation, were assessed using a validated Relational Coordination (RC) survey. The study population included AHF care team members (n ~ 100) representing seven workgroups (e.g., nurses, pharmacists) from two inpatient cardiology units at a 450-bed academic medical center in the Pacific Northwest during 2015–2016. Improvements in RC scores were demonstrated across all seven RC dimensions from baseline (Year 1) to follow-up (Year 2). Percent change on each of the seven dimensions ranged from 3.57% to 9.85%. Changes were statistically significant for improvements between baseline and follow-up on all but one of the seven RC dimensions (shared knowledge). The IP team intervention was associated with improvements in RC from baseline to follow-up. Additional research is needed to assess patient perspectives and outcomes of the IP team intervention. Findings of this study are consistent with the growing body of RC and SIBR research and provide a useful model of an IP team-based intervention in clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite continuing interest in interprofessional teamwork to improve nurse outcomes and quality of care, there is little research that focuses on nurse job satisfaction and retention after an interprofessional team intervention. This study explored registered nurse (RN) job satisfaction and retention after a purposeful interprofessional team training and structured interprofessional bedside rounds were implemented. As part of a larger study, in this comparative cross-sectional study, pre- and post-intervention data on RN job satisfaction and turnover rate were collected and analyzed. It was found that RNs had significantly higher job satisfaction after the interprofessional team intervention. The 6-month period turnover rate in the post-intervention period was slightly lower than the 6-month period turnover rate in pre-intervention period; however, the rate was too low to provide statistical evidence. Ongoing coaching and supportive work environments to improve RN outcomes should be considered to enhance quality of care and patient safety in healthcare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Symptoms of heart failure markedly impair a patient's health status. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of health status in a sample of racially and ethnically diverse patients with heart failure using a web-based mobile health application, mi.Symptoms. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at an urban academic medical center. Patients with heart failure self-reported symptoms using validated symptom instruments (e.g. patient-reported outcome measurement information system) by way of the mobile health application, mi.Symptoms. The primary study outcome was health status, measured with the Kansas City cardiomyopathy questionnaire clinical summary score. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean age of the sample (n=168) was 58.7 (±12.5) years, 37% were women, 36% were Black, 36% identified as Hispanic/Latino, 48% were classified as New York Heart Association class III, and 44% reported not having enough income to make ends meet. Predictors of better health status in heart failure included higher physical function (β=0.89, p=0.001) and ability to participate in social roles and activities (β=0.58, p=0.002), and predictors of poorer health status were New York Heart Association class IV (β=−11.68, p=0.006) and dyspnea (β=−0.77, p<0.001). The predictors accounted for 73% of the variance in health status. Conclusion: Patient-centered interventions should focus on modifiable risk factors that reduce dyspnea, improve functional status, and enhance engagement in social roles to improve the health status of patients with heart failure.

Aims: Estimating survival is challenging in the terminal phase of advanced heart failure. Patients, families, and health‐care organizations would benefit from more reliable prognostic tools. The Palliative Performance Scale Version 2 (PPSv2) is a reliable and validated tool used to measure functional performance; higher scores indicate higher functionality. It has been widely used to estimate survival in patients with cancer but rarely used in patients with heart failure. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic cut‐points of the PPSv2 for predicting survival among patients with heart failure receiving home hospice care. Methods and results: This retrospective cohort study included 1114 adult patients with a primary diagnosis of heart failure from a not‐for‐profit hospice agency between January 2013 and May 2017. The primary outcome was survival time. A Cox proportional‐hazards model and sensitivity analyses were used to examine the association between PPSv2 scores and survival time, controlling for demographic and clinical variables. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to quantify the diagnostic performance of PPSv2 scores by survival time. Lower PPSv2 scores on admission to hospice were associated with decreased median (interquartile range, IQR) survival time [PPSv2 10 = 2 IQR: 1–5 days; PPSv2 20 = 3 IQR: 2–8 days] IQR: 55–207. The discrimination of the PPSv2 at baseline for predicting death was highest at 7 days [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.802], followed by an AUC of 0.774 at 14 days, an AUC of 0.736 at 30 days, and an AUC of 0.705 at 90 days. Conclusions: The PPSv2 tool can be used by health‐care providers for prognostication of hospice‐enrolled patients with heart failure who are at high risk of near‐term death. It has the greatest utility in patients who have the most functional impairment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims and objectives: To explore clinical nurses' experiences and perceptions following a purposeful interprofessional (IP) team intervention in practice. Background: Despite increasing interest in IP collaborative practice to improve teamwork, nursing outcomes and quality of care, there has been little research that focused on nurses' perspectives of IP collaboration after a purposeful IP team intervention. Design: A qualitative descriptive study using focus group interviews of registered nurses who care for patients with advanced heart failure. Methods: This study is part of a larger study that conducted and evaluated a purposeful IP team intervention. Registered nurses (n = 10) were invited to participate in three focus groups following the IP team intervention. Data were audio‐recorded, transcribed and analysed using a conventional content analysis approach and constant comparative method. Results: We identified six interrelated themes: (a) IP team building, (b) psychological safety and cultural change, (c) efficiency in delivery of care, (d) quality of patient care, (e) job outcomes and (f) team challenges. Notably, participants reported that they could better understand the patient's care plan of the day because every team member was "on the same page at the same time." Registered nurses perceived that they were more satisfied with their job through improved IP team performance, enhanced psychological safety and cultural change, efficient workflow and better quality of patient care. Conclusions: The IP team intervention contributed to enhancing IP team functioning as well as improving registered nurse job satisfaction. To sustain the improved perceptional and behavioural changes, team strategies to improve workflow and communication should be considered. Relevance to clinical practice: Effective teamwork and communication between multiple healthcare professionals including nurses are the cornerstones to improve care delivery, nursing outcomes and quality of patient care in clinical settings.

- Abstract
Background: Shared decision making (SDM) is a key attribute of patient-centered care, which empowers palliative care patients to be able to make optimal medical decisions about end-of-life treatments based on their own values and preferences. Aim: The aim of this systematic literature review is to detail and compare interventions supporting SDM over the last 10 years (January 2008 to December 2017) and to analyze patient/caregiver outcomes at the end of life. Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched with key search terms: SDM, decision aid, decision support, palliative care, and hospice care. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Results: The initial search yielded 2705 articles, and 12 studies were included in the final review. The quality of the studies was modest and technology-enabled delivery modes (e.g., video, DVD, web-based tool) were most commonly used. Patient/caregiver knowledge of end-of-life care was the most common primary outcome across studies. The strength of the association between the SDM interventions and patient/caregiver outcomes varied. Conclusion: The findings from the studies that examined the effects of the SDM intervention on patient outcomes were inconsistent, highlighting the need for further SDM intervention studies among diverse patient populations using consistent measures. Given the availability of health technologies, future studies should focus on developing individual-tailored, technology-enabled interventions to support patient-centered medical decision making.

Background: The Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) has been widely used for survival prediction among patients with cancer; however, few studies have reviewed PPS scores in heterogeneous palliative care populations across multiple care settings. Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to determine how the PPS tool has been used to estimate survival at the end of life. Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for the existing literature published from 2008 to 2017. We synthesized study characteristics, the PPS scores at baseline, and primary outcomes, and explored differences in survival estimates by diagnosis. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Good ReseArch for Comparative Effectiveness (GRACE) checklist. Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review (nine with cancer and eight with mixed diagnoses). All included studies reported that the PPS exhibited a significant association with survival. Survival estimates ranged from 1 to 3 days for patients with PPS scores of 10% compared with 5 to 36 days for those with scores of 30%. The categorical cut-points for the PPS scores were not consistently reported across studies. Conclusion: This review provides a broad overview on the prognostic value of the PPS tool for survival among multiple patient populations across care settings. Consistent reporting of PPS scores would facilitate the comparison of survival estimates across end-of-life diagnoses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Effective interprofessional (IP) team-based care is critical to enhance the delivery of efficient care and improve nursing and IP team outcomes. This study aims to review the most recent IP team intervention studies that focused on outcomes related to nursing and IP teams. PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase were searched for existing literature published between January 2011 and December 2016. The search strategy was developed through both literature review and consultation with a health sciences librarian. This review included IP team intervention studies published in peer-reviewed journals and written in English. Studies were included if they conducted an IP team intervention for healthcare teams that include nurses and examined outcomes related to nursing and the IP teams. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 articles were included for the final review. Two authors extracted data on the characteristics of IP team interventions, assessment methods, and their outcomes related to nursing and IP teams using a data abstraction tool developed by the research team. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. We found that most of the included studies were conducted in the US and on inpatient units. A quasi-experimental study design was most commonly employed. Most studies conducted IP team training such as TeamSTEPPS® as a one-time activity. The most common outcomes measured were attitudes or perceptions about IP teamwork or communication, followed by patient-related outcomes, and knowledge or skills about IP competencies. The quality of the included studies was generally low. The findings from this review will contribute to understanding the characteristics of current IP intervention studies and call for IP scholars to design more rigorous yet realistic IP intervention studies.

Introduction: Among patients with heart failure, health status is hampered by heavy symptom burden. Symptom monitoring is crucial for optimal health status, and yet patients struggle with this aspect of self-care symptom management. To help patients with heart failure report symptoms to better communicate with their healthcare providers, we developed a mHealth application, mi.Symptoms. The purpose of this study was to identify patient symptoms and predictors of health status in patients with heart failure. Methods: A patient's symptom reporting in this study was conducted using mi.Symptoms that measures acute physical symptoms with the 18-item Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale v.3 (HFSPS) and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information system (PROMIS®) that measures non-cardiac symptoms. The primary outcome of the study was health status, measured with the 23-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score, using Qualtrics survey software. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and generalized linear regression model analysis. Results: The sample (n=168) had a mean age of 58.7 (±12.54) years, 37% were female, 32% were White (n=51), 36% were Black (n=58), 44% of participants reported not having enough income to make ends meet (n=73), and the majority (48%) was symptomatic with class III HF (n=81). Overall 37% identified as Latino (n=60) and 19% completed the study in Spanish (n=33). After adjusting for demographic characteristics (age, gender, race, financial status), psychological (anxiety, depression, anger) and physical symptoms (fatigue, sleep, cognitive impairment, pain, dyspnea), the predictors of health status were NYHA Class IV (β = -11.7, p = 0.005), PROMIS physical function scores (β = 0.89, p = 0.001), dyspnea measured by the HFSPS Dyspnea subscale (β = -0.77, p < 0.001), and social limitations measured by the PROMIS social limitations score (β = 0.58, p = 0.002). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that both cardiac and non-cardiac symptoms are associated with health status. Interventions that optimize patient's physical function and social interaction with others and reduce dyspnea may improve the health status of patients with heart failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
