Area of Science:
- Primary Care Research
- Chronic Disease Management
- Health Behavior Change
Background:
- Rising prevalence of chronic diseases necessitates enhanced self-management support.
- Personalization of self-management support is a key focus in current healthcare standards.
- The SeMaS (Self-Management Screening) questionnaire was developed to facilitate personalized support.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the SeMaS questionnaire and personalized self-management support.
- To assess the impact on patients' self-management behaviors and activation levels.
- To build scientific evidence for personalized self-management interventions in primary care.
Main Methods:
- Cluster randomized controlled trial in 15 Dutch general practices.
- Intervention: SeMaS screening, tailored feedback, and practice nurse-led personalized support.
- Control: Usual care. Primary outcome: Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) at 6 months.
Main Results:
- Primary outcome: Change in Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) from baseline to 6 months.
- Secondary outcomes: Lifestyle factors (exercise, diet, smoking) and process measures.
- Data collected via SeMaS and additional questionnaires at baseline and 6 months.
Conclusions:
- This protocol outlines a trial for personalized self-management support in chronically ill patients.
