Predicting who will benefit from an Expert Patients Programme self-management course

Predictive Factors of Effects of an Interdisciplinary Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Intervention in Primary Healthcare: A Correlational Analysis

“…The high proportion of people with complex health conditions may have reduced the possibility to identify an association between the number of chronic diseases and improvement in the heiQ domains. Nevertheless, age offered prediction of a significant improvement for Health Services Navigation and Emotional Wellbeing, showing that older patients tended to get the least improvement from the intervention, results similar to previous observations [26,28,32,39]. Even if a multivariate association was found with age, univariate analysis did not show statistical significance in any domain, indicating possibility of noise or variable interaction.…”

Heart failure patients with a lower educational level and better cognitive status benefit most from a self-management group programme

“…Previous studies on the CDSMP found indications that programme effectiveness varied according to cultural group, age (in favour of patients <40 years) and baseline levels of self-efficacy and quality of life (in favour of poorer functioning patients) [26,39]. In the other studies, no differential effects were found [10,20,31,33].…”

“…In the other studies, no differential effects were found [10,20,31,33]. Educational level was also included in the analyses by Reeves et al [39], though no differential effect with respect to educational level was found. To our knowledge, cognitive status has not been assessed previously as a potential predictor for CDSMP outcomes.…”

“…Although considerable research has been conducted on the effectiveness of the CDSMP, only a few studies explored the differential effects of patientrelated factors on programme outcomes [10,20,26,31,33,39]. In the present study, we aim to gain insight into which CHF patients benefited most from the programme in terms of cardiac-specific quality of life by conducting additional subgroup analyses.…”

Effects of chronic disease self-management programs for participants with higher depression scores: secondary analyses of an on-line and a small-group program

“…The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) was designed to increase self-efficacy as one means to manage chronic conditions. Improvements in selfefficacy by CDSMP programs participants are associated with improved health outcomes [10,11].…”
