Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
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...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

343
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.6K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Health Services Research
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • The Patient-Experienced Continuity of care Questionnaire (PECQ) measures continuity of care (CoC) in primary care.
  • Previous evaluation used classical test theory, which has limitations compared to modern methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the measurement properties of the PECQ using the Rasch model.
  • To provide a psychometrically sound tool for assessing CoC.

Main Methods:

  • Collected data from 324 adult patients (≥18 years) with chronic conditions across 18 primary care centers.
  • Administered questionnaires to assess patient experiences of care continuity.

Main Results:

  • The PECQ demonstrated satisfactory individual item fit, response category functioning, targeting, and age-based differential item functioning.
  • Minor issues noted in global model fit, local independence, reliability, and sex-based differential item functioning.

Conclusions:

  • The PECQ exhibits sound psychometric properties for adult patients with chronic diseases.
  • The instrument is suitable for measuring CoC in primary care settings.
  • Findings support the PECQ's use for quality assessment and targeted interventions globally.
