Occupational Performance Coaching on Health Self-Care Behavior and Activity Participation for Adults With Heart Failure: A Randomized Controlled Trial

These findings indicate that an 8-wk OPC intervention could enhance HSCB and activity participation and reduce depression among patients with HF. Therefore, integrating OPC into standard care may improve the well-being of patients with HF. Moreover, the results suggest that the participation-based interventions have the potential to enhance HSCB among HF patients. Plain-Language Summary: Occupational performance coaching (OPC) is a client-centered occupational therapy intervention designed to enhance behavior change and activity participation by promoting the development of healthy habits and routines. This study presents important insights into the impact of the OPC intervention on patients with heart failure (HF). Our findings indicate that the OPC intervention can significantly improve health self-care behavior, increase participation, and reduce depression among HF patients.
