Mindful Steps 2.0: Promoting Physical Activity in Patients With COPD and HF
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Heart Failure
In brief
The goal of this fully-remote randomized controlled trial is to test the efficacy of Mindful Steps in facilitating physical activity compared to usual standard of care among 136 patients with COPD and/or HF. The main question it aims to answer is can this intervention promote physical activity as measured by daily step counts in sedentary patients with COPD and/or HF. Participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive either the Mindful Steps intervention or usual care for 12 months, with both arms receiving a Walking for Health education booklet.
