<p>Does the Modality Used in Health Coaching Matter? A Systematic Review of Health Coaching Outcomes</p>

Abstract

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the modalities (e.g., face-to-face, telephone or electronic) of pharmacist health coaching providing the greatest improvement in patient outcomes, to enable a more comprehensive evaluation to be done and quality decision-making around health coaching modalities to be undertaken by pharmacists. Methods: This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines. CINHAL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsychINFO and SCOPUS were searched (2000-2019). Included articles were reviewed for the modality used to health coach, the training provided, and the outcomes. Results: Twelve papers met the eligibility criteria. A majority of studies included involved a combination of modalities of pharmacist health coaching. Four papers referred to face-toface sessions, and one study used telephone coaching. In each paper, coaching led to an improvement in clinical and non-clinical health outcomes. Conclusion: The training provided to health coaches varied and in some cases was not reported. Inconsistencies in reports led to difficulties when comparing study outcomes. Therefore, conclusions about the modality providing the greatest improvement in patient outcomes and the most pragmatic health coaching modality are not possible. Studies that document the training, the modality, the outcomes and the cost benefits of coaching by pharmacists are warranted to enable a more comprehensive evaluation to be done and quality decision-making around health coaching modalities to be undertaken by pharmacists.

Assessing the Acceptability of a Co-produced Long COVID Intervention in an Underserved Community in the UK

“…Whilst the health coaching modality is under researched in terms of effectiveness, there is some evidence that personalised goal setting, supportive communication associated with motivation, and collaboration with other health care providers and assets (i.e. exercise venues and trainers) benefits some people [40]. The most recent literature associated with health coaching focuses on psychological, physiological and behavioural combined outcomes [41] although also challenges the idea that it is effective in improving quality of life or improving mood [42].…”

Integrating Patient Activation Into Dialysis Care

“…Health coaching, or the use of behavior changing principles and techniques to promote health management, can promote lifestyle changes and adherence to treatment to achieve better health outcomes. 2,23,24 This is distinct from counseling, which is delivery of health education with rigid instructions, without accounting for the patient's own goals or desire to change. 24 The usual persuasion techniques rely on arguments, judgements, advice, and orders that try to convince the patient to change, relying on extrinsic motivation, eventually leading to resistance.…”

“…Yet, there are many unknowns that require research to guide this integration. 7,24 In Box 2, we list research priorities to facilitate integration of patient activation in care of dialysis patients.…”

“…Health coaching merupakan salah satu intervensi keperawatan dengan strategi berupa pendampingan pada pasien memberikan kesempatan pada pasien untuk menentukan hal yang ingin dicapai dan menentukan solusi untuk mencapai tujuan dalam program pengobatan yang sedang dijalaninya (Singh et al, 2020). Pasien tuberkulosis membutuhkan pendampingan dalam memahami program terapi yang dijalaninya.…”
