Teach-Back Discharge Education to Improve Self-Care and Reduce 30-Day Readmissions in Heart Failure Patients
NCT07280208 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study aimed to improve how patients with heart failure understand and manage their condition after leaving the hospital. Many heart failure patients are readmitted within 30 days due to confusion about their discharge instructions and difficulty following self-care routines. The study tested whether a structured discharge education session using the "teach-back" method-where patients repeated instructions in their own words-could help improve their knowledge and self-care behaviors. The goal was to reduce hospital readmissions and help patients feel more confident managing their heart failure at home.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07280208
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07280208 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 57 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Nova Southeastern University, which has 82 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Heart Failure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Teach-Back Discharge Education is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07280208 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
