Brief Summary  

All the heart failure patients attending cardiology OPD who met the inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. 

Using a random number table, participants will be randomized into experimental and control group.

 Written informed consent will be obtained from the participants after informing them about the study and the procedure of data collection at the time of enrolment.

 At the time of enrolment, baseline information regarding sociodemographic profile, the clinical profile will be obtained and a record analysis of diagnostic test reports, medication card will be done. Along with this baseline assessment of cognitive functions, self-care in heart failure, anxiety, medication adherence, HQOL, functional capacity will be done.

 Patients of the experimental group will be provided with cognitive training which includes an educational guidebook in their understandable language containing information about disease condition, heart failure-related cognitive impairment, information cum demonstration on mental and physical exercises to improve cognitive abilities and a video on the dietary pattern, counselling session, meditation audio whereas participants of the control group will continue with routine care.

 Telephonic reinforcement will be provided twice a week up to the completion of the study. Cognitive Training Package will be reinforced among the experimental group which includes diet video, meditation audio, physical and mental exercises.

All the participants will be followed up on an OPD basis on the 15th and 30th days after enrolment.
