This trial is testing a nurse-led problem-solving program designed to help veterans with heart failure manage their condition at home. Over 12 weeks, a registered nurse will work with you by phone to identify heart failure-related problems you're facing, prioritize them, and develop practical strategies to address them. The program is tailored to the needs and resources of people living in rural areas.
Many veterans with heart failure struggle with managing their condition at home, and rural veterans face extra challenges due to distance and limited access to support. This trial aims to see if a simple, phone-based program can help veterans better manage their heart failure, cope with stress and depression, and improve their overall quality of life.

You will have an initial phone call to answer questions about your health, symptoms, mental health, stress levels, and quality of life. Then, over 12 weeks, you'll participate in seven phone sessions with a registered nurse (roughly one every 2 weeks) where you'll work together to solve heart failure-related problems using practical strategies. After the program ends, you'll complete follow-up surveys at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months to see how well the strategies are working for you.
