Filter by:Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) refers to programs that help patients to manage life with a chronic disease in the best possible way. In spite of the effectiveness of Therapeutic Patient Education, few patients uptake TPE when it is proposed to them. Therefore, our main aim was to identify patients' beliefs that will predict patients' uptake of TPE. According to the Health Belief Model, patient will participate in TPE if they perceive their disease as a serious threat (with possible serious complications), but which can be controlled however, and that TPE is efficient and represents little burden. Secondary aims are as follows: 1. To test whether the way TPE is presented to patients impact patients' decision to uptake TPE. The way TPE is presented comprises the time between diagnosis and the proposal of TPE, whether patient is a remission or crisis period in the disease, the time between the proposal and the next TPE session, and what is said by healthcare professionals to present TPE. 2. To test whether healthcare professionals' empathy impact patients' decision to participate in TPE 3. To test whether patients' intention to participate in TPE will predict their actual participation. The ultimate goal of the study is to identify patients whose beliefs will not favor participation in TPE in order to accompany those patients more carefully. Best practices will be proposed according the results.
Therapeutic education programs allows in diabetic patients to promote self-care and better perception of the disease The multidisciplinary program of therapeutic education regroups in one day: individual interview, nutritional workshop, self-monitoring blood glucose workshop, physical activity and glycemic objectives workshop. At the end of the program, individual and personalized goals are given to the patient. This study aims to evaluate this program success rates and the psychological, anamnesis, and sociological factors linked to success.
The overall purpose is to study quality in patient education by means of the patients' self-rated enablement. Specific aims are: To assess the validity of the patient enablement instrument in relation to self-efficacy and empowerment; To investigate if patient enablement can be effective in identifying which patients would benefit the most from patient education; To study if patient enablement has any relation to self-efficacy, function or self-rated health; To analyze if patient enablement has a causal effect on health care consumption; To evaluate whether patient education is a cost-effective intervention. The project is a longitudinal study, including patients from a patient education programme for osteoarthritis in primary health care. Data consist of patient reported outcome measures and health care consumption. Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis will be used. Inclusion of patients will start August 2016. Analyses of data and manuscript writing will be performed in 2018-2019. Researchers included are from primary health care settings and researchers in the field of OA, patient education and health economy. Our increasingly older and more inactive population will raise huge demands on the health care. The importance of optimizing treatments that are available in primary health care cannot be underestimated. The project will contribute with important knowledge about the patient's own process of getting well.
Medication non-adherence is an economic problem and a major public health challenge. Factors influencing medication adherence can be modelled according to five dimensions: disease, medication, patient and its close relatives, demographic and socioeconomic factors and health care system. A tool is needed to qualify medication adherence in order to adapt tailored support for individual patients to promote and optimize adherence to therapy. The objective of this work is to present the preliminary results of QUILAM project which is divided into 3 phases: 1. Development of a tool to assess barriers to medication adherence in chronic patient (COPD, Heart failure, Type 2 diabetes) ; 2. Validation of the instrument (especially against clinical criteria) ; 3. Evaluation of the sensitivity of the tool during educational interventions.
