The purpose of this study is to conduct a 6-month longitudinal study of 30 patient/care partner dyads who had an LVAD implanted within the last 6 months. We will comprehensively characterize LVAD self-care trajectories. Our team comprises investigators with experience in heart failure, LVAD patients and care partners, self-management, longitudinal data analysis, and HRQoL.

The purpose of this study is to describe sleep health, symptoms, and function in people undergoing ostomy surgery. The results will be used to better understand what interventions can be used in the future to prevent and treat negative impacts of sleep health and symptoms in people with an ostomy

The focus of the proposed study is to improve understanding of the underlying mechanisms of symptom burden, and the purpose is to describe how sleep health contributes to symptoms and functional performance in adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among sleep health characteristics, sleep disorders, and cognitive functioning after heart transplantation, which will critically inform the development of precision sleep health interventions to promote optimal cognitive functioning for this complex population.
