Evaluation of a French Hospital Discharge Therapeutic Education Program by Nurses for Heart Failure Patient (EduSor) (EDUSOR)

2026年7月10日 更新者：University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Evaluation of a Therapeutic Patient Education Program for Discharge (ETPsh) by Nurses in a French Hospital Setting Among Patients With Heart Failure

Heart failure affects 2.3% of the adult French population. Readmission within 30 days doubles the risk of early death within the following 30 to 60 days, as well as the risk of rehospitalization over the subsequent two years. Incorporating nurse-led discharge education can significantly reduce readmissions for heart failure as well as all-cause readmissions. Drawing on practices from English-speaking countries and Switzerland regarding patient discharge education at hospital, we propose to evaluate a discharge education program in the French hospital setting for patients with heart failure.

The objective of this multicenter before-and-after study is to evaluate the impact of a nurse-led discharge education delivered at hospital on the quality of the care pathway for patients with heart failure, assessed 30 days after hospital discharge. The primary outcome is the reduction in 30-day unplanned all-cause hospital readmissions, including emergency department visits. An informal (non-professional) caregiver may also be enrolled in the study if identified by the patient and present during the hospitalization.

Patients enrolled before implementation of the discharge education will constitute the control group (standard therapeutic patient education group). They will receive usual hospital care, including educational sessions throughout hospitalization covering the disease, treatments, and self-care, as well as a follow-up consultation with a nurse 30 days after hospital discharge. This usual care is referred to as standard therapeutic patient education and does not include a structured therapeutic patient education intervention at hospital discharge.

Patients receiving the discharge education will constitute the intervention group (standard therapeutic patient education with discharge education group). They will receive the same usual care (i.e., standard therapeutic patient education and the 30-day post-discharge nurse follow-up consultation), supplemented by the nurse-led discharge education intervention during their hospitalization.

To minimize the risk of contamination (diffusion bias), the control group will be enrolled and complete follow-up before nurses receive training in the discharge education intervention.

详细说明

Patients and their informal caregivers will be informed about the study by the nursing staff within the first two days of hospitalization in the cardiology departments participating in the study. Their eligibility will then be assessed, and eligible patients and caregivers will be invited to participate. A participant information sheet describing the study will be provided and explained to both the patient and the informal caregiver.

Patients and their informal caregivers will be given a 24-hour reflection period. After this period, they will have the opportunity to discuss any remaining questions with the investigator nurse, who will provide any necessary clarification. Patients and informal caregivers who agree to participate will then sign the informed consent form and be enrolled in the study. The investigator will also sign the informed consent form.

All participants in the control group will be enrolled simultaneously across the three participating study centers. The same enrollment procedure will be followed for the intervention group.

Patients in the intervention group will receive an initial educational assessment on the day following enrollment, a participatory therapeutic education session using the teach-back method within the 24 hours preceding hospital discharge, a follow-up telephone call from a nurse 7 days after discharge, and a final educational assessment at the routine 30-day post-discharge follow-up visit. Whenever possible, the patient's informal caregiver will be asked to accompany the patient to this follow-up consultation.

A participant may be prematurely withdrawn from the study for any of the following reasons:

  • an intercurrent disease interfering with the normal conduct of the study protocol;
  • death;
  • participant's decision
  • a major protocol deviation;
  • loss to follow-up (a participant is considered lost to follow-up if they fail to attend a scheduled study visit and no information regarding their status can be obtained despite all reasonable efforts to contact them and determine the reason for study discontinuation. The reason "lost to follow-up" will only be assigned after these efforts have been unsuccessful).

Patients and their informal caregivers may participate in another clinical study provided that, in the opinion of the investigator, such participation does not interfere with the conduct or objectives of the present study. Participants must therefore inform the investigator of any concurrent participation in another study, and the investigator will determine whether simultaneous participation is appropriate.

The study may be temporarily suspended or permanently terminated for any of the following reasons:

  • insufficient or no participant recruitment;
  • inability to secure funding for the study;
  • any directive issued by the competent regulatory authorities requiring the temporary suspension or permanent termination of the study;
  • a decision by the sponsor and the coordinating investigator.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
无干预：Standard therapeutic patient education group

Participants in the control group will receive usual care in the cardiology department.

The multidisciplinary usual care involves both medical professionals (including cardiologists and pharmacists) and allied health professionals (including advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, dietitians, and physical activity specialists). Usual care is integrated into the heart failure care pathway, ensuring continuity between community-based and hospital care, hospitalization, and ongoing management at home.

During hospitalization, participants will receive standard therapeutic patient education as well as a routine nurse-led follow-up consultation 30 days after hospital discharge. Patients will also receive the standard discharge documents, together with the usual information and advice provided at discharge.
实验性的：Discharge education group
Participants will receive usual care (as described for the control group), supplemented by a structured discharge education intervention delivered by research nurses trained in therapeutic patient education.
行为的：Nurse-led discharge education

The intervention includes :

  1. An initial educational assessment (≈1 h) on the day after enrollment to identify individualized learning needs for discharge and assess key self-management and safety competencies ;
  2. An interactive discharge education session (≈1 h) within 24 hours before discharge, using the teach-back method to reinforce warning signs, medication, self-care, follow-up, and healthcare contacts ;
  3. A nurse-led follow-up telephone call 7 (±3) days after discharge (15-30 min) to assess competencies and reinforce learning if needed ;
  4. A final educational assessment (≈1 h) during the routine 30-day (±7 days) follow-up consultation. Informal caregivers will be invited to participate whenever possible.
