Chronic Disease Self-Management Program: 2-Year Health Status and Health Care Utilization Outcomes
OBJECTIVES: To assess the 1- and 2-year health status, health care utilization and self-efficacy outcomes for the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP). The major hypothesis is that during the 2-year period CDSMP participants will experience improvements or less deterioration than expected in health status and reductions in health care utilization. DESIGN: Longitudinal design as follow-up to a randomized trial. SETTING: Community. PARTI…
Evidence Suggesting That a Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Can Improve Health Status While Reducing Hospitalization: A Randomized Trial
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effectiveness (changes in health behaviors, health status, and health service utilization) of a self-management program for chronic disease designed for use with a heterogeneous group of chronic disease patients. It also explored the differential effectiveness of the intervention for subjects with specific diseases and comorbidities. METHODS: The study was a six-month randomized, controlled trial at community-…
Community-Based Spanish Language Arthritis Education Program: A Randomized Trial
OBJECTIVES: To determine 4-month and 1-year health-related outcomes of a 6-week, lay-led, and community-based arthritis self-management program for Spanish-speaking participants and to determine the role of self-efficacy in predicting health status for this population. METHODS: Three hundred and thirty one subjects were randomized to the program or to a 4-month wait list control group. One hundred ninety eight subjects continued in a 1-year longi…
Initial Validation of a Scale Measuring Self-Efficacy of Breast Self-Examination among Low-Income Mexican American Women
This paper presents the initial validation of a bilingual (English/Spanish) scale designed to assess intensity of perceived self-efficacy for breast self-examination (BSE) among low-income Mexican American women. The validation and reliability analysis included the use of Cronbach's alpha, factor analysis, and correlations of the measure with knowledge of correct BSE procedure, current level of breast self-examination, and English language profic…
