Summary
This study develops a framework for patient-mediated knowledge translation (KT) interventions to improve patient-centered care. The framework guides planning and evaluation, aiming for better healthcare outcomes through enhanced patient involvement.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare research
- Knowledge translation
- Patient engagement
Background:
- Patient involvement is key to responsive healthcare systems.
- Knowledge translation (KT) approaches can enhance patient involvement strategies.
- A conceptual framework for patient-mediated KT interventions is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a conceptual framework for patient-mediated knowledge translation (KT) interventions.
- To guide the planning, delivery, and quality improvement of patient-centered care.
- To support the evaluation and development of interventions that involve patients.
Main Methods:
- A preliminary conceptual framework was compiled.
- A realist review will be conducted with stakeholders in arthritis and cancer.
- Searches of MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE (1995-2010) will identify interventions.
Main Results:
- A conceptual framework for patient-mediated KT interventions was developed.
- The framework outlines intended purpose, recipients, delivery context, interventions, and outcomes.
- The framework facilitates understanding of how interventions work, for whom, and in what contexts.
Conclusions:
- The framework aids healthcare providers, managers, and policymakers in program planning and quality improvement.
- Researchers can use the framework to evaluate and develop new patient-mediated KT interventions.
- Increased patient involvement through KT approaches can lead to more patient-centered care and improved outcomes.

01:15Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

01:30Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:21Health Literacy
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
