Effect of a Structured Nursing Intervention Incorporating Sleep Hygiene and Cognitive-Behavioral Strategies on Sleep Quality Among Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Jordan100 participantsStarted 2025-06-08
Plain-language summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured nursing intervention incorporating sleep hygiene education and cognitive-behavioral strategies on improving sleep quality among patients with chronic heart failure. Sleep disturbances are common in patients with chronic heart failure and are associated with poorer functional status, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare utilization. Participants will receive a structured nursing intervention that includes education on healthy sleep practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques to improve sleep.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial used a structured nursing intervention combining sleep hygiene and cognitive-behavioral strategies for people with chronic heart failure — can you explain what those approaches actually involve day-to-day, and whether something similar might be appropriate for my situation?
2Since this trial has already been completed, have the results been published yet, and if so, what did they show about whether sleep quality actually improved for heart failure patients who went through this kind of program?
3I know poor sleep can affect heart failure management — how significant a problem is sleep disruption in my specific case, and should we be actively addressing it as part of my overall treatment plan?
4This study focused on a nursing-led intervention rather than medication — do you think a non-drug approach to improving my sleep would be a safe and realistic option given my current heart failure treatment, or could there be any conflicts with what I'm already taking or doing?
5Are there similar sleep-focused programs or cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia resources available to me locally or through this practice, since this trial is already completed and not open for enrollment?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
