“…With 86.8% of evaluations reflecting satisfaction, the HLG satisfaction appears to be comparable to other group education programs or outpatient services (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). An evaluation of a California WIC nutritional education group had 80 to 95 percent of participants respond positively to questions about satisfaction (14).…”

“…Also, direct patient feedback on corticosteroid use with a physician helps adherence and improves understanding of reasoning why patients stop medications,68 providing a framework to tailor specific asthma educational interventions and action plans 58. De Vries et al69 used a multi-center study to investigate the different variants of an asthma educational program in adults with asthma to see whether patient satisfaction differed with various approaches. They discovered that as the intensity of the educational intervention increased, so did the satisfaction.…”

Patient-centered care and its effect on outcomes in the treatment of asthma

Patient-centered care may be pivotal in improving health outcomes for patients with asthma. In addition to increased attention in both research and clinical forums, recent legislation also highlights the importance of patient-centered outcomes research in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. However, whether patient-centered care has been shown to improve outcomes for this population is unclear. To answer this question, we performed a systematic review of the literature that aimed to define current patient-focused management issues, characterize important patient-defined outcomes in asthma control, and identify current and emerging treatments related to patient outcomes and perspectives. We used a parallel search strategy via Medline®, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL® (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and PsycINFO®, complemented with a reference review of key articles that resulted in a total of 133 articles; 58 were interventions that evaluated the effect on patient-centered outcomes, and 75 were descriptive studies. The majority of intervention studies demonstrated improved patient outcomes (44; “positive” results); none showed true harm (0; “negative”); and the remainder were equivocal (14; “neutral”). Key themes emerged relating to patients’ desires for asthma knowledge, preferences for tailored management plans, and simplification of treatment regimens. We also found discordance between physicians and patients regarding patients’ needs, beliefs, and expectations about asthma. Although some studies show promise regarding the benefits of patient-focused care, these methods require additional study on feasibility and strategies for implementation in real world settings. Further, it is imperative that future studies must be, themselves, patient-centered (eg, pragmatic comparative effectiveness studies) and applicable to a variety of patient populations and settings. Despite the need for further research, enough evidence exists that supports incorporating a patient-centered approach to asthma management, in order to achieve improved outcomes and patient health.

“…The literature review identified 17 citations that were considered potentially relevant to the study, which identified several instruments or surveys of interest, mainly focused on preferences and satisfaction with inhalation devices in asthma,28,29 satisfaction with asthma health care services,30,31 satisfaction with corticosteroid treatment for asthma,32 and allergies treated with sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy that included some questions about satisfaction with treatment 33…”

“…In this sense, the new instrument includes items about treatment-related effectiveness and symptom relief, functioning, discomfort, and side effects, cost and accessibility to treatment, and general satisfaction. All the aforementioned are topics or domains habitually related to patient satisfaction with treatment,25–29 together with other aspects initially included in the initial item pool, and which were eliminated at some time during the item reduction process (eg, disease-related information or regimen characteristics).…”

Background:Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is a treatment capable of modifying the natural course of allergy, so ensuring good adherence to SIT is fundamental. Up until now there has not existed an instrument specifically developed to measure patient satisfaction with SIT, although its assessment could help us to comprehend better and improve treatment adherence and effectiveness. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure adult patient satisfaction with SIT.Methods:Items were generated from a literature review, focus groups with allergic adult patients undergoing SIT, and a meeting with experts. Potential items were administered to allergic patients undergoing SIT in an observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study. Item reduction was based on quantitative and qualitative criteria. A preliminary assessment of feasibility, reliability, and validity of the retained items was performed.Results:An initial pool of 70 items was administered to 257 patients undergoing SIT. Fifty-four items were eliminated resulting in a provisional instrument with 16 items. Factor analysis yielded four factors that were identified as perceived efficacy, activities and environment, cost-benefit balance, and overall satisfaction, explaining 74.8% of variance. Ceiling and floor effects were negligible for overall score. Overall score was associated with the type and intensity of symptoms.Conclusion:This is the first attempt to develop a satisfaction with SIT measure from the perspective of the allergic patient, and evidence has been found in favor of its reliability and validity.
