Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a randomized controlled trial that tests the effectiveness of a novel intervention called the Push-Pull-Hold program on improving self-care in patients with heart failure. This intervention was developed based on our previous quantitative and qualitative findings and existing psychological concepts. Results would inform current understanding of the intention-behavior link in self-care and inform future policy and intervention development to improve patient and caregiver outcomes.
