Evaluation of Remote Motivational Interviewing for Disease Management in Heart Failure Patients and Their Carers

Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and progressive condition that significantly affects patients' quality of life and increases the burden on family caregivers. Many patients struggle with self-care, including medication adherence, diet, and symptom monitoring. The REMIND HF (REmote Motivational INterviewing for Disease Management in Heart Failure) study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of remote motivational interviewing (MI) as a behavioral intervention to improve disease management and self-care among heart failure patients and their informal caregivers. The intervention consists of a series of online motivational interviews conducted by trained nurses over a 12-month period, focusing on lifestyle modification, self-monitoring, and patient-caregiver cooperation. The study will be conducted at the Wroclaw Medical University and collaborating centers. It will enroll 300 patients with heart failure (The New York Heart Association Functional Classificaion - NYHA class: II-IV) and their primary caregivers. Outcomes will include self-care behaviors, quality of life, psychological well-being, and health service utilization. The results will contribute to developing accessible, patient-centered models of heart failure management based on telehealth and behavioral support.

Health Promotion Model-Based Education and Motivational Interviewing for Parents of Children With Type 1 Diabetes

This quasi-experimental study will aim to evaluate the effects of Health Promotion Model-based education and motivational interviewing on diabetes self-management and quality of life among parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Eligible and voluntary parents will receive structured education sessions and motivational interviews designed to support diabetes management and improve quality of life. Outcomes will be assessed using validated questionnaires on diabetes self-management and quality of life, as well as HbA1c values obtained from patients' routine medical records. The study will examine whether parent-focused interventions can enhance diabetes management in children and families.
