Study Summary

Heart failure is a prevalent and serious public health concern with the growing aging population. Patients with heart failure often experience attention impairment that decreases their ability to perform self-care and diminishes their health-related quality of life. In past studies, 15 - 27% of heart failure patients had attention impairment. Attention is fundamental to human activities including self-care management of heart failure. However, cognitive interventions focusing on attention are scarce in heart failure literature. This study focuses on developing a novel cognitive intervention specifically targeting improved attention and testing its efficacy on improving attention, self-care, and health-related quality of life. The investigators in this study are asking the following 3 questions: 1) does the newly developed cognitive intervention using immersive virtual reality technology (Nature-VR) improve attention compared with the control condition (Urban-VR)?; 2) does Nature-VR intervention improve HF self-care and health-related quality of life compared with Urban-VR control condition?; and 3) are selected biological factors associated with attention function in HF? The virtual reality-based cognitive intervention (Nature-VR) can be an efficacious intervention for the patients to use and enjoy without burdening already reduced attention. This study has great potential to improve attention and prevent attention impairment, thereby leading to healthier lives among heart failure patients.

Primary Outcome

Performances on the computerized cognitive test of Multi-Source Interference Task will be examined in terms of speed and accuracy. Participants are instructed to identify the target number, which is different than the other 3 numbers provided on the computer screen. There are two types of trials, congruent and incongruent. Congruent trials have a target number that is always matched its position on the button (e.g., 100, 020, or 223), in contrast, incongruent trials have the target number that i
