Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Rural Adults: A Pilot Intervention Study Using Registered Nurse/Community Health Worker Teams.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction programs led by a nurse/community health worker team are effective in urban settings.

This strategy has not been adequately tested in rural settings. Objective: A pilot study was conducted to examine the feasibility of implementing an evidence-based CVD risk reduction intervention adapted to a rural setting and evaluate the potential impact on CVD risk factors and health behaviors. Methods: A 2-group, experimental, repeated-measures design was used; participants were randomized to a standard primary care group (n = 30) or an intervention group (n = 30) where a registered nurse/community health worker team delivered self-management strategies in person, by phone, or by videoconferencing. Outcomes were measured at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. A sample of 60 participants was recruited and retained in the study. Results: In-person (46.3%) and telephone (42.3%) meetings were used more than the videoconferencing application (9%). Mean change at 3 months differed significantly between the intervention and control groups for CVD risk (−1.0 [95% confidence interval (CI), −3.1 to 1.1] vs +1.4 [95% CI, −0.4 to 3.3], respectively), total cholesterol (−13.2 [95% CI, −32.1 to 5.7.] vs +21.0 [95% CI, 4.1–38.1], respectively), and low-density lipoprotein (−11.5 [95% CI, −30.8 to 7.7] vs +19.6 [95% CI, 1.9–37.2], respectively). No between-group differences were seen in high-density lipoprotein, blood pressure, or triglycerides. Conclusions: Participants receiving the nurse/community health worker–delivered intervention improved their risk CVD profiles, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels at 3 months. A larger study to explore the intervention impact on CVD risk factor disparities experienced by rural populations is warranted.
