Narrative Intervention for Chronic Illness- Heart Failure Trial (NICI-HF)

The Narrative Intervention for Chronic Illness-Heart Failure includes narrative-based, strengths-based, solution-focused brief therapy, and Unitary Caring Science to improve depression (primary outcome) and anxiety (secondary outcome) for people living with heart failure.

Automated emails at similar time points to the intervention will be sent to participants in this arm. Emails will ask participants to reflect on their illness experience and offer general information about heart failure using standardized handouts from the American Heart Association and Up-To-Date.
