Profile of the Patient Who Refuses to Participate in the Expert Patients Program

Abstract: The Expert Patients Program (EPP), an educational intervention for chronic diseases aimed at nonprofessionals, has high nonparticipation and dropout rates. We used quantitative and qualitative methods to identify the prevalence of and reasons for nonparticipation in 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 69 with stroke.

“…To some extent, patients’ individual characteristics and social context have the potential to impact the degree of their participation in self-management activities. Therefore tailored patient–professional partnerships and other strategic interventions should be designed for each type of participation (Vega et al, 2014). Meanwhile, the attitudes, communication style and the competences of health professionals are also critical components in a successful patient–professional partnership (Lawn et al, 2014; Moore et al, 2016).…”

“…Engagement can be examined at the level of both attending to counseling programs or interventions and the social dynamics of participation in counseling interaction. Low health literacy, stigma, gaps between the content offered and client lifeworld and needs, and externalized motivation have all been recognized as barriers to participating in diabetes counseling (e.g., Harris et al, 2019; Kinnafick et al, 2014; Vega et al, 2014). It has been suggested that feelings of stigma, irrelevance of content, and externalized motivation are all particularly suitable to being alleviated by group counseling, which aims at reflection and finding solutions and strategies, together with peers, that fit clients’ different life situations (Leong, 2008; Logren et al, 2017b).…”
