“…The primary outcomes include hospitalization-related indicators, such as readmission or emergency room visits, and respiratory-related indicators, such as exacerbation history, mMRC [18], CAT [19], and Test of the Adherence to Inhalers [20]. The secondary outcomes include the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [21], self-efficacy [22], and Transition Care Quality Assessment [23].…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition characterized by persistent inflammation in the airways, resulting in narrowing and obstruction of the air passages. The development of COPD is primarily attributed to long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants. Among individuals hospitalized for exacerbations of COPD, approximately one in five is readmitted within 30 days of discharge or encounters immediate post-discharge complications, highlighting a lack of adequate preparedness for self-management. To address this inadequate preparedness, transitional care services (TCS) have emerged as a promising approach. Therefore, this study primarily aims to present a detailed protocol for a multi-site, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) aimed at enhancing self-management competency and overall quality of life for patients with COPD through the provision of TCS, facilitated by a proficient Clinical Research Coordinator. The RCT intervention commenced in September 2022 and is set to conclude in December 2024, with a total of 362 COPD patients anticipated to be enrolled in the study. The intervention program encompasses various components, including an initial assessment during hospitalization, comprehensive self-management education, facilitation of social welfare connections, post-discharge home visits, and regular telephone monitoring. Furthermore, follow-up evaluations are conducted at both one month and three months after discharge to assess the effectiveness of the intervention in terms of preventing re-hospitalization, reducing acute exacerbations, and enhancing disease awareness among participants. The results of this study are expected to provide a basis for the development of TCS fee payment policies for future health insurance.

Background The quality of transitional care is closely related to the health outcomes of patients, and understanding the status of transitional care for patients is crucial to improving the health outcomes of patients. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the quality of transitional care in elderly patients with chronic diseases and analyze its influencing factors, to provide a basis for improving transitional care services. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. We used the Chinese version of the Partners at Care Transitions Measure (PACT-M) to survey patients with chronic diseases aged 60 years and older who were about to be discharged from five tertiary hospitals in Henan and Shanxi provinces. We used the mean ± standard deviation to describe the quality of transitional care, t-test or one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis to explore the factors affecting the quality of transitional care for patients. Results 182 elderly patients with chronic diseases aged ≥ 60 years completed the PACT-M survey. The scores of PACT-M1 and PACT-M2 were (30.69 ± 7.87) and (25.59 ± 7.14) points, respectively. The results of the t-test or one-way ANOVA showed that the patient’s marital status, ethnicity, religion, educational level, preretirement occupation, residence, household income per month, and living situation had an impact on the quality of transitional care for elderly patients with chronic diseases (P < 0.05). The results of regression analyses showed that patients’ preretirement occupation, social support, and health status were the main influences on the quality of transitional care for elderly patients with chronic diseases (P < 0.05), and they explained 63.1% of the total variance. Conclusions The quality of transitional care for older patients with chronic illnesses during the transition from hospital to home needs further improvement. Factors affecting the quality of transitional care included patients’ pre-retirement occupation, social support, and health status. We can improve the hospital-community-family tertiary linkage service to provide coordinated and continuous transitional care for patients based on their occupation, health status, and social support to enhance the quality of transitional care and the patient’s health.

“…The Cronbach’s alpha values for PACT-M 1 and PACT-M 2 were 0.802 and 0.741, and the test–retest reliability values were 0.885 and 0.837. The results of both the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that both parts of the PACT contained two dimensions, the item content validity index and scale content validity index values of PACT-M 1 and PACT-M 2 were 1.0 [ 8 ].…”

“…Under the guidance of the above-mentioned policies, the total amount of medical and health service resources in China has continued to grow and the level of medical technology and medical quality has been continuously improved. Currently, a health and medical service network has been formed that covers both urban and rural areas [ 8 ]. Most elderly patients with chronic diseases can receive transitional care after returning home from the hospital.…”

“…And PCCQ and NCQ for assessing the experience and satisfaction with continuity of care. Since most elderly patients with chronic diseases will return home directly after discharge from the hospital in China, and only the CTM and PACT-M have Chinese versions, these two tools are the most commonly used in China [ 8 , 17 ]. In addition, since the two scales are very similar, they are often used interchangeably to assess the quality of transitional care.…”

Background Elderly patients with chronic diseases are very vulnerable during the transition from hospital to home and have a high need for transitional care. The quality of transitional care is closely related to patient health outcomes. Using appropriate scales to evaluate the quality of transitional care is important for efforts aimed at improving it. The study aimed to analyze the consistency between the Chinese version of the Partners at Care Transitions Measure (PACT-M) and the Care Transition Measure (CTM) in assessing the quality of transition care in elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, we used a convenience sampling method to investigate patients with chronic diseases aged ≧ 65 years who were about to be discharged from the three affiliated hospitals of Zhengzhou University in Henan Province, from August 2021 to May 2022. The sample consisted of 196 elderly patients with chronic diseases. Data were collected using a demographic survey, PACT-M, and CTM. We used EpiData 3.1 software for systematic logical error checking, SPSS 21.0 to analyze the data, and the Bland–Altman analysis to analyze the consistency of the two scales. Results The mean total scores for PACT-M and CTM were 65.52 ± 6.23 and 52.07 ± 7.26, respectively. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for the mean difference and ratios were (-31.52, 4.61) and (0.85, 1.72), with 3.57% and 5.10% of the points outside the 95% CI limits, separately. Conclusions The difference analysis of Bland–Altman showed a good consistency of the two scales, while the rate analysis did not meet the a priori definition of good consistency, but it is very close to 5%. Therefore, the consistency of the two scales in assessing the quality of transitional care for elderly patients with chronic diseases needs to be further validated.
