Predictors of completion and response to a psychological intervention to promote health behavior adherence in heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Most individuals with heart failure (HF) struggle to adhere to one or more health behaviors, and interventions to promote adherence are time-intensive and costly. In this analysis, we examined the predictors of engagement and response related to a telephone-delivered health behavior intervention for individuals with HF.

Method

Predictors included medical (NYHA class, physical health-related quality of life [HRQoL], and HF symptoms) and intervention (ease and usefulness/utility ratings of the first intervention exe
