Area of Science:

  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Health Services Research
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Effective person-centred care requires understanding patient-identified needs for managing long-term conditions.
  • A validated tool is needed to help patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) articulate their support requirements to healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the face, content, and criterion validity of the Support Needs Approach for Patients (SNAP) tool.
  • To assess the SNAP tool's suitability for patients with advanced COPD.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage mixed-methods study involving patients with advanced COPD and their carers.
  • Stage 1: Focus groups to assess face and content validity.
  • Stage 2: Postal survey to assess content and criterion validity using established impact measures.

Main Results:

  • Patients and carers found the SNAP tool user-friendly and comprehensive, indicating potential clinical utility.
  • No redundant items were identified within the SNAP tool.
  • Significant correlations were observed between SNAP tool items and established disease impact measures.

Conclusions:

  • The SNAP tool possesses strong face, content, and criterion validity.
  • The SNAP tool has the potential to enhance holistic, person-centred care by facilitating patient expression of unmet support needs.
