Objectives

To examine: 1) whether patient characteristics predict perceived self-management support (usefulness of information and collaborative care planning) by primary care providers after six months, and 2) the association between perceived self-management support and patient activation at 6 months

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis among 120 primary care patients aged 40 and over with a chronic physical condition and comorbid depressive symptoms who participated in a randomized controlled trial of a coaching intervention for depression self-management. Activation was measured at baseline (T0) and 6 months (T1). Self-management support was captured at T1 for physical and mood problems.

Results

The sample of analysis was 120 patients who completed all relevant measures. At T1, the perceived usefulness of information for mood self-management was independently associated with activation. More severe depressive symptoms at T0 predicted lower perceived usefulness of chronic condition self-management information at T1. Lower T0 mental health-related quality of life predicted lower perceived usefulness of mood self-management information at T1.

Conclusions

Perceived informational support for mood self-management may contribute to increased activation. Patients with more severe mental health symptoms or impairment perceive that they receive less useful self-management information from their care team.

Practice implications

Care teams should determine whether patients with mood problems need greater self-management support.  相似文献

Objectives

To explore experiences of treatment decision-making (TDM) amongst men diagnosed with stage 1–3 prostate cancer.

Methods

Mixed-methods study incorporating UK-wide cross-sectional postal survey of men 18–42 months post-diagnosis and semi-structured interviews with a subsample (n?=?97), including men who received both radical treatments and active surveillance. Interview data was analysed using a Framework approach.

Results

Within the context of TDM, 'drivers' included men's intra-personal preferences for decision-making responsibility or clinical direction, relative treatment intrusiveness or desire for excision, and work, personal and social life priorities; 'facilitators' were inter-personal mechanisms such as information and communication with clinicians to enact, but also sometimes challenge drivers. Drivers and facilitators can conflict, challenging patient empowerment. Men frequently undertook greater TDM responsibility than desired, without clinical recommendations; others received conflicting recommendations. Information on potential side-effects was often reportedly inadequate. Unchallenged preferences, absence of clinical recommendations and inadequate preparation for side-effects sometimes led to decision regret.

Conclusions

Men are not empowered when expected to take more TDM responsibility than desired, when provided with conflicting recommendations, or when their potentially inappropriate preferences are unchallenged.

Practice implications

TDM should involve men exercising preferences and priorities in discussion with clinicians. Clinicians should ensure patients do not receive conflicting recommendations.  相似文献

Objectives

Pregnancy options counseling, or nondirective counseling of patients with unintended pregnancy, is a “necessary competency” for medical students according the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Narrative Medicine (NM) utilizes stories of illness to inform clinical practice and promotes self-reflection in medical education. The authors analyzed the effect of a NM workshop on medical students’ ability to provide pregnancy options counseling.

Methods

The authors randomized students in the major clinical year at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) to either a 2-hour NM workshop or to a control intervention. The NM group participated in reading and reflective writing exercises addressing varying perspectives on pregnancy. Students then completed a video-taped and numerically-scored OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) regarding pregnancy options counseling. The authors compared mean OSCE scores between the groups.

Results

The study analyzed 103 participants. Overall mean OSCE scores were higher in the NM group (11.9?±?1.5, n?=?51) than the control group (11.3?±?1.6, n?=?52) (p?=?0.049).

Conclusions

Students undergoing a NM workshop had higher scores on a pregnancy options counseling OSCE.

Practice implications

This brief intervention may aid future physicians in providing nondirective pregnancy options. This novel approach to teaching is an easily shared learning tool.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate women’s preferred approach to prenatal genetic testing decision making and assess concordance between preference and experience.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of data from two randomized trials conducted between 2007–2012. Survey items assessed participants’ preferred approach to decision making and whether they experienced a preference-concordant decision process. Logistic regression estimated relationships between patient characteristics and these outcomes.

Results

56% of women preferred autonomous decision making, 39% preferred shared decision making, and 5% preferred a provider-driven approach. Only 57% experienced preference-concordant decision making. On bivariate analysis, black women, Spanish-speaking Latinas and women with less education were less likely to experience this outcome than white, more educated women. Numeracy and preferring a provider-driven approach fully mediated observed disparities in preference-concordant decision making for most participants, except for Spanish-speaking Latinas, who were still less likely to have experienced this outcome after accounting for these factors.

Conclusion

Numeracy, preference for provider-driven decision processes, and language barriers were key drivers of disparities in preference-concordant decision making.

Practice implications

Given the values-sensitive and quantitative nature of prenatal testing decisions, nuanced counseling and interventions to address language barriers, numeracy gaps, and decision-making preferences are needed to tailor counseling to patient’s backgrounds and desires.  相似文献

Objective

To explore how individuals with cancer and bereaved relatives evaluate information provision by specialist palliative care services (PCSs).

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted within four multidisciplinary palliative homecare teams (HCTs), 17 hospital-based palliative care units (PCUs) and 13 hospital-based mobile palliative support teams (PSTs) in Belgium. During four measurement periods, structured questionnaires were administered to people being guided by PCSs and relatives of patients who had died while under the care of PCSs.

Results

In total, 628 patients (80%) and 980 relatives (55%) responded; 73–82% and 75–77% respectively reported having received the right amount of information. Compared with those receiving care within a PCU, those being supported by a PST were more likely to report suboptimal information provision and decision-making. Relatives of those who had died while under the guidance of a PST were also more likely to report suboptimal information provision than their PCU counterparts.

Conclusion

Although information provision to cancer patients and relatives being supported by PCSs is generally evaluated positively, evaluations depend on the type of service.

Practice implications

Information provided within PCUs offering highly personalised, continuous care appears to both groups more satisfactory than that provided by palliative care teams mainly supporting care staff.  相似文献

Objective

To provide an overview of information and participation preferences and needs of non-Western ethnic minority cancer patients living in Western countries.

Methods

A systematic literature review was conducted using the databases PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE. Thematic analysis was carried out to synthesize data, allowing for identification of important themes and synthesis of both qualitative and quantitative studies.

Results

Forty-four papers were included. Non- Western ethnic minority cancer patients/survivors have high information preferences and needs regarding topics ranging from diagnosis to treatment and from prevention to the healthcare system. Younger, female, and unmarried patients/survivors, and patients with better language proficiency reported higher information preferences. Latin-American and African-American patients/survivors primarily prefer shared or active participation. Asian and Middle-Eastern patients/survivors prefer primarily passive participation. Younger patients, and those with a higher level of education and acculturation were more likely to prefer active or shared participation.

Conclusion

Further (quantitative) research on factors associated with patients’ preferences is needed in order to better understand the underlying reasons of information and participation preferences and needs of diverse non-Western ethnic minority cancer patients.

Practice implications

To better fulfil ethnic minority patients’/survivors’ preferences and needs healthcare providers should elaborate upon these and tailor their information- provision accordingly.  相似文献

Objective

To test the hypothesized paths for Online Health Information Seeking (OHIS) behaviors in developing health literacy, leading to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among Korean Americans (KAs) using Health Literacy Skills Frameworks (HLSF) and Cognitive Mediation Model (CMM).

Methods

A total of 433 KAs aged 50 through 75 in a metropolitan area in the Southeastern U.S. completed a cross-sectional survey regarding sociodemographics, OHIS behaviors, information overload, health literacy, decisional balance, and CRC screening history. Path analyses were implemented to assess the hypothesized causal models by examining the relationships among these variables.

Results

OHIS was positively associated with information overload and health literacy; information overload was negatively associated with health literacy. Health literacy was positively associated with decisional balance; decisional balance was positively associated with uptake of sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.

Conclusion

The findings supported both theoretical frameworks, HLSF and CMM, for OHIS to develop health literacy, leading to CRC screening. These findings highlight the significant roles of information overload and attitudes and beliefs about screening in enhancing health literacy and CRC screening among KAs.

Practice Implications

Practice efforts for facilitating CRC screening among medically underserved older KAs should target improving access to and use of OHIS and culturally-tailored health information delivery.  相似文献

Background

Insulin titration is typically done face-to-face with a clinician; however, this can be a burden for patients due to logistical issues associated with in-person clinical care. The Mobile Insulin Titration Intervention (MITI) used basic cell phone technology including text messages and phone calls to help patients with diabetes find their optimal basal insulin dose (OID).

Objective

To evaluate sociodemographic and clinical correlates of reaching OID, text message response rate, and days needed to reach OID.

Methods

Primary care providers referred patients to MITI and nurses delivered the program. Three multivariable regression models quantified relationships between various correlates and primary outcomes.

Results

The sample included 113 patients from 2 ambulatory clinics, with a mean age of 50 years (SD?=?10), 45% female, 79% Hispanic, 43% unemployed, and 46% uninsured. In regression models, baseline fasting blood glucose (FBG) was negatively associated with odds of reaching OID and 100% text responses, and positively associated with days to reach OID, p?<?.05).

Conclusions

Patients with higher baseline FBG levels were less successful across outcomes and may need additional supports in future mHealth diabetes programs.

Practical Implications

Basic cell phone technology can be used to adjust patients’ insulin remotely, thereby reducing logistical barriers to care.  相似文献

Objectives

The study’s goals were to characterize decisional conflict and preparedness for making the decision about having CPM among breast cancer patients considering CPM who do not carry cancer-predisposing mutation and to evaluate correlates of decisional conflict and preparedness.

Methods

93 women considering CPM completed a survey of decisional conflict and preparedness for the CPM decision, knowledge, perceived risk, self-efficacy, reasons for CPM, input from others and discussion with the doctor about CPM, and cancer worry.

Results

Between 8% and 27% of women endorsed elevated decisional conflict. Most women were satisfied with preparatory information that they were provided. Knowledge was low. Top reasons for choosing CPM were the desire for peace of mind, lowering the chance of another breast cancer, and improving survival.

Conclusions

Decisional conflict is elevated in a subset of patients considering CPM. A more well-informed decision may be fostered by a comprehensive discussion about CPM with the patient’s clinician, fostering self-efficacy in managing cancer worry, and helping patients understand their motivations for CPM.

Practice implications

Clinicians working with breast cancer patients considering CPM should discuss the CPM decision, foster self-efficacy in managing cancer worry, and help patients understand their motivations for the surgery.  相似文献

Objective

To develop an educational mobile application (app) for expectant parents diagnosed with risk factors for premature birth.

Methods

Parent and medical advisory panels delineated the vision for the app. The app helps prepare for preterm birth. For pilot testing, obstetricians offered the app between 18–22 weeks gestational age to English speaking parents with risk factors for preterm birth. After 4 weeks of use, each participant completed a questionnaire. The software tracked topics accessed and duration of use.

Results

For pilot testing, 31 participants were recruited and 28 completed the questionnaire. After app utilization, participants reported heightened awareness of preterm birth (93%), more discussion of pregnancy or prematurity issues with partner (86%), increased questions at clinic visits (43%), and increased anxiety (21%). Participants reported receiving more prematurity information from the app than from their healthcare providers. The 15 participants for whom tracking data was available accessed the app for an average of 8?h.

Conclusion

Parents with increased risk for preterm birth may benefit from this mobile app educational program.

Practice implications

If the pregnancy results in preterm birth hospitalization, parents would have built a foundation of knowledge to make informed medical care choices.  相似文献

Purpose

To screen novel candidate biomarkers in primary colorectal cancer (CRC), and indentify their clinical valuation in progress of colorectal cancer.

Methods

By using antibody microarray, 274 target proteins in tissue samples from primary colorectal cancer patients were detected. Among differently expressed proteins in CRC tissues, As promising candidate biomarker, RANTES/CCL5 was validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay and immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the clinical significance of CCL5 was analyzed.

Results

Totally, 25 differentially expressed proteins were indentified between colorectal cancers and matched normal mucosa. CCL5 expression was significantly associated with adverse pathological progress, apt to lymph node metastasis and higher T stage.

Conclusions

CCL5 may contribute to promoting tumor growth, and CCL5 is a promising target that may help in understanding the pathogenesis of CRC.  相似文献

Objective

To assess the effectiveness of patient-mediated interventions on healthcare professionals' performance.

Methods

We conducted a systematic Cochrane review according to established guidelines. We searched predefined databases in 2016 and 2017. Two review authors independently assessed studies for inclusion, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, performed meta-analyses, and assessed the certainty of the evidence (GRADE).

Results

We included 25 randomised studies with a total of 12 268 patients. We found that patient-reported health information interventions and patient education interventions probably improve healthcare professionals' adherence to recommended clinical practice (moderate certainty evidence). We also found that patient information interventions may improve healthcare professionals' adherence to recommended clinical practice (low certainty evidence). Patient decision aids may make little or no difference to the number of healthcare professionals’ adhering to recommended clinical practice (low-certainty evidence).

Conclusion

Our findings strengthen the belief that patient-mediated interventions have the potential to improve professional practice, especially patient-reported health information interventions and patient education interventions.

Practice implications

Our findings show that patient-reported health information interventions and patient education interventions are relevant approaches to improve professional practice. Thus, it seems reasonable to conclude that these types of patient-mediated interventions can contribute to improving the quality of healthcare services.  相似文献

Objective

To identify how and why infertility patients’ communication with health care providers relates to their continuity of care within infertility treatment.

Method

A grounded theory analysis was conducted for 25 in-depth interviews across three coding phases, where we remained open to all themes present in the data, narrowed to most prominent themes, and found the connections between the themes.

Results

Based on our identified themes, we created a conceptual model that explains why infertility patients (dis)continued care with one or more clinician. Through this model, we describe two infertility identity transitions for patients: Transition 1: “Infertility as Temporary” to “Infertility as Enduring”; and Transition 2: “Infertility as Enduring” to “Infertility as Integrated.”

Conclusion

The study explains how and why patients’ view of their infertility affects their communication, and thus their continuity of care, with clinicians.

Practice implications

To provide patient-centered care within infertility treatment, providers can recognize how patients’ view of their infertility, and thus their needs, goals, and expectations, shift throughout their infertility experience.  相似文献

Objective

Patient satisfaction had been the focus of many scientific studies worldwide. However, very few studies published had addressed the definition of the concept of patient satisfaction. Therefore this present concept analysis is to explore the attributes of the concept in the broader healthcare context.

Methods

The Rodgers method, an inductive method of concept analysis, was selected to guide this concept analysis.

Results

The attributes of patient satisfaction in the healthcare context identified were provider attitude, technical competence, accessibility, and efficacy. Perception in relation to expectation, patient demographics and personality, and market competition were regarded as prerequisites of patient satisfaction. Consequences of patient satisfaction identified in this analysis were: patient compliance, clinical outcomes, loyalty and referrals.

Conclusion

As healthcare is becoming an increasingly competitive marketplace, studying patient experience could certainly help practitioners to better encompass patient perspectives in service delivery and improve patient satisfaction.

Practice implications

To ensure the validity of patient satisfaction measurement and subsequently improve healthcare quality, practitioners should involve patients in identifying important factors relevant to each attributes of patient satisfaction.  相似文献

Objective

To compare motivational interviewing (MI) with conventional care regarding the health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) of adolescents with overweight/obesity.

Methods

RCT with parallel design, involving two groups: intervention group (MI group [MIG]) and control group (conventional intervention group [CIG]). The intervention included three 30-minute interviews 3 months apart.

Outcome

Change in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) scores. A mixed repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to assess group versus time interactions.

Results

Eighty-three participants finished the protocol (82% girls). MIG participants showed a significant average increase (+4.7) on the Psychosocial (t[41] = -2.388, p = .022, d = .37) and Emotional Subscales (+5.1) (t[41] = 5.733, p < .001, d = .88). CIG participants showed a significant average decrease on the Psychosocial (-6.1) (t[40] = 5.733, p < .001, d = .90), Emotional (-14.1) (t[40] = 7.249, p < .001, d = 1.13) and Social Subscales (-3.8) (t[40] = 3.782, p = .001, d = .59) and on the Total Score (–4.4) (t[40] = 3.535, p = .001, d = .55)

Conclusion

MI improved HRQoL among overweight adolescents participating in a weight management program.

Practice implications

MI increases HRQoL and has the potential to benefit weight management programs for adolescents.  相似文献

Objectives

To explore how decisions are made in real-life general practice consultations with older patients (65+ years), and examine how general practitioners (GPs) communicate risk and benefit information and evidence, and integrate patient preferences.

Methods

Secondary analysis of 20 video-recorded consultations with older patients in Australian primary healthcare settings. Consultations were analysed qualitatively using the Framework method and quantitatively using the Observer OPTION5 scale and the Assessing Communication about Evidence and Patient Preferences (ACEPP) tool.

Results

Overall, Observer OPTION5 and ACEPP scores were low, with mean total scores of 11.3 (out of 100) and 10.4 (out of 40) respectively. Together with qualitative findings, these results suggest that shared decision-making did not occur, and that healthcare options (including anticipated benefits and risks), evidence and patient preferences were rarely discussed in our sample of consultations with older people. GPs often unilaterally made treatment decisions (usually pharmacotherapy) while patients reverted to a passive decision-making role.

Conclusion

We observed a lack of shared decision-making in our primary care study, with little engagement of older patients in decisions about their health.

Practice implications

Training and support tools may be needed to enhance the capacity and self-efficacy of providers and older patients to share healthcare decisions.  相似文献

Objective

There is some evidence for biomarker feedback when combined with cessation counseling for reducing smoking in pregnancy. This randomized controlled pilot study evaluated feasibility and potential efficacy of a social-cognitive theory (SCT)-based biomarker feedback intervention among pregnant Alaska Native (AN) smokers.

Methods

Participants were randomly assigned to receive three study calls (10–20?min each): (1) biomarker feedback intervention (n?=?30) including personalized cotinine results and feedback on their baby’s likely exposure to carcinogen metabolite NNAL, or (2) contact control usual care condition based on the 5As (n?=?30). Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-treatment, and delivery.

Results

High rates of treatment compliance, study retention, and treatment acceptability were observed in both groups. 7-day point prevalence smoking abstinence rates at delivery verified with urinary cotinine were the same in both study groups (20% intent-to-treat analysis, 26% per-protocol). SCT-based measures did not change differentially from baseline by study group.

Conclusion

This trial supports the feasibility and acceptability of providing biomarker feedback within the clinical care delivery system, but the intervention did not promote increased smoking cessation during pregnancy compared to usual care.

Practice Implications

Efforts are needed to promote the usual care and to develop alternative biomarker feedback messaging for pregnant AN women.  相似文献

Objective

This study aimed to investigate prospects of a sample of Iranian front line health care professionals about their perceived barriers to implement the HPH initiative.

Methods

The six stages Q methodology was applied to systematically envisage divergent perspectives of the 33 health professionals (7 physicians, 2 managerial and 24 nurses) working in the 10 educational hospitals in Iran.

Results

Analysis of the study participants’ viewpoints (the Q-sorts) resulted in a five factor solution (accounted for 48% of the total variance) to endorse main barriers of the HPH implementation in the typical Iranian hospitals. The health professionals’ dominant biomedical approach and their deficit commitment to health promotion programs, inappropriate decision-making mechanisms and insufficiency of the organizational infrastructure in the Iranian national health system (INHS) were among the important emanated factors to sustainably maintain the HPH program.

Conclusion

The identified barriers reflect the spheres that need to be focused in interventions to facilitate the successful implementation of the HPH initiative in Iran and other developing countries.

Practice implications

Despite the existent consensus about overall merits of the HPH to fulfill best interests of hospitalized patients, major challenges deems to exist for operability of this beneficial undertaking in Iran.  相似文献

Objective

Information overload can negatively impact positive health behaviors such as cancer screening. The 8-item Cancer Information Overload (CIO) scale appears to be the only validated measure of health-related information overload. The present study assesses the validity of the CIO scale when modified for use in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) residing in Australia.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a study of adult Australian patients with AF (N?=?386) in which a modified version of the CIO scale was used. In the present study, we examined the construct (convergent and divergent) validity and performed an exploratory factor analysis for the modified scale.

Results

All items on the modified-CIO scale appear to load onto a single factor. As predicted, higher education levels (rs=-.24, p?<?.001) and higher oral anticoagulant knowledge (rs=-.17, p?=?.001) were significantly associated with lower modified-CIO scores; no other demographic characteristics were significantly associated with CIO scores.

Conclusion

When adapted to the AF context, the modified-CIO scale appears to be a valid measure of information overload.

Practice Implications

A valid scale is required to measure information overload accurately. Knowledge of the interplay between information overload and various health behaviors help focus future efforts to support patient empowerment.  相似文献
