Preferences Regarding Self-Management Intervention Outcomes of Dutch Chronically Ill Patients With Limited Health Literacy
Background: For many chronically ill patients self-management of their disease is difficult. This may be especially true for people with limited health literacy as they are faced with additional challenges in the day-to-day management of their disease. Research has shown that self-management support is most effective when tailored to the needs and preferences of patients. Therefore, this study explores the preferences regarding self-management ou…

Talking the same language on patient empowerment: Development and content validation of a taxonomy of self‐management interventions for chronic conditions
CONTEXT: The literature on self-management interventions (SMIs) is growing exponentially, but it is characterized by heterogeneous reporting that limits comparability across studies and interventions. Building an SMI taxonomy is the first step towards creating a common language for stakeholders to drive research in this area and promote patient self-management and empowerment. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate the content of a comprehensive taxo…
Cross‐cultural validation of the patient‐practitioner orientation scale among primary care professionals in Spain
BACKGROUND: In recent decades, many self-report instruments have been developed to assess the extent to which patients want to be informed and involved in decisions about their health as part of the concept of person-centred care (PCC). The main objective of this research was to translate, adapt and validate the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) using a sample of primary care health-care professionals in Spain. METHODS: Baseline analy…
Older Adults’ Experiences of a Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Intervention: A Nested Qualitative Study in the Sitless Multi-Country Randomised Clinical Trial
When designing and implementing interventions, key components enhancing social interaction, enjoyment and continuity should be in place in order to successfully promote sustained behaviour change
Researching what matters to people: Developing Core Outcome Sets for Self-Management Interventions in Chronic Diseases
Introduction: Patient involvement has substantially increased among different areas of care in the last decades. However, patient involvement in research is still weak. One of the areas in which patient involvement would be more important is the selection of outcomes to measure effectiveness of interventions. This links to the recent advancement of core outcome sets (COS) - minimum set of outcomes agreed across researchers in one specific topic. …

Engaging and empowering people to improve chronic care and patients’ outcomes
Background: Person-centred care can have a big impact on the quality of care. Reviews of research about this topic found that offering care in a more person-centred way usually improves outcomes. Some of the most common ways that have shown to improve person-centred care include helping people learn more about their conditions, prompting people to be more engaged in health consultations and training professionals to facilitate care that empowers …
Patient empowerment as a promising avenue towards health and social care integration: Results from an overview of systematic reviews of patient empowerment interventions
Background: The ever increasing complexity of health care paired with the increasing proportion of chronic patients and other factors are clearly exacerbating the need for an all round well coordinated health (and social) system. This need for better integration of services has long sparked the interest for health system research and in the last 15 years this area has expanded and it now includes the increasingly active role of the patients, the …
Screening for Social Care Complex Needs – Review of current experiences
Background: The importance of the social dimension on health is well known, and care systems around the world are trying to align their interventions to tackle health and social elements in a comprehensive and integrated care continuum. Arguably one of the first steps towards surpassing this gap is creating a common approach and language of understanding between both areas.A main feature in desiging integrated care models is the need to evaluate …
