Communication Model to Self-Care - Regardless of Health Literacy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Healthcare systems all over the world are developing in a way that compels patients to become more active in the management of their own health and disease - a development that changes the role of modern patients and the skills needed to navigate the healthcare system. Demographic changes resulting in more elderly people have led to increases in the burden of chronic diseases and put pressure on increasingly scarce healthcare resources. One strategy for overcoming this burden is to reduce the utilization of healthcare resources in the secondary sector by reducing the length of stay and placing more health care services in the primary sector, thus allowing more rehabilitation actions, where the goal is to have patients take control of their own life situation and health. This means that community nurses are compelled to strengthen citizens' ability to manage their own disease and everyday life. A focus on health literacy and its significance for everyday life with chronic disease can increase the probability of citizens' acquiring the instructions and guidance given by community nurses, and thus strengthen the ability for self-care and self-rehabilitation. In line with this, a systematic interactive communication model has been developed to help strengthen self-care for citizens with chronic diseases. For more information, see the description of the intervention above. The study is targeted citizens, who receive community nursing. A possible benefit of participating is an improvement of quality of life in everyday life for citizens receiving community nursing. No risks related to participation in the study. The study is run from four community nursing districts in Aalborg Municipality. The development of the intervention was initiated in september 2019, and the study is expected finalised in july 2022. This study did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
