Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

438
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.5K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

1.0K
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.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes
  • Clinical Measurement

Background:

  • Existing instruments inadequately capture the comprehensive treatment burden associated with multimorbidity.
  • Managing multiple chronic conditions presents significant challenges for patients, impacting their daily lives and healthcare engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new, reliable, and valid measure for assessing treatment burden in patients with multimorbidity.
  • To establish the psychometric properties, including reliability, validity, and responsiveness, of the Treatment Burden for Multimorbidity Scale (TBMS).

Main Methods:

  • Development of the TBMS based on literature review and existing instruments, followed by content validity evaluation with experts and patients.
  • Psychometric testing using a longitudinal survey design with data from 503 patients at baseline and 313 at 6-month follow-up.
  • Analysis of reliability (Cronbach's alpha), construct validity (correlations with related measures), and responsiveness to change over time.

Main Results:

  • The final 12-item TBMS demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93) and factor structure reflecting healthcare tasks and impacts.
  • TBMS scores showed significant correlations with disease burden, existing multimorbidity treatment burden measures, and self-care, supporting construct validity.
  • Changes in TBMS scores over 6 months were associated with changes in self-care, depressive symptoms, physical function, and self-rated health, indicating responsiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The Treatment Burden for Multimorbidity Scale (TBMS) is a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument for assessing treatment burden in patients with multiple chronic conditions.
  • The TBMS provides a valuable tool for clinicians and researchers to better understand and manage the complexities of multimorbidity treatment.
  • This new scale can inform clinical practice and healthcare interventions aimed at reducing the treatment burden for individuals managing multiple health issues.
