SUPPORT-HEART-PK: Effectiveness, Implementation, and Cost-Effectiveness of a Theory-Based, RE-AIM-Informed Digital Self-Management Intervention for Heart Failure in Pakistan-A Hybrid Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Randomized Controlled Trial

SUPPORT-HEART-PK: Effectiveness, Implementation, and Economic Evaluation of a RE-AIM-Informed, Theory-Based Digital Self-Management Intervention for Heart Failure Management-A Hybrid Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Medication non-adherence leads to recurrent admissions, worsening symptoms, poor quality of life, and increased healthcare costs in an already overburdened health system. Existing adherence interventions in Pakistan are limited, mostly educational, and rarely guided by behavioural theory, implementation science, or economic evaluation. Therefore, a culturally appropriate, RE-AIM-informed autonomy-competence intervention is needed to improve medication adherence and quality of life among heart failure patients in Pakistan, while also assessing implementation feasibility and cost-effectiveness for future scale-up.
