概括
团队管理的家庭基础初级保健 (TM/HBPC) 改善了绝症患者的生活质量和其他人的满意度. 虽然它在早期减少了再接收,但成本增加了,需要对收益与费用的平衡.
科学领域:
- 老年病的医生 老年病的医生
- 医疗保健服务研究 医疗服务研究
- 主要护理是指初级护理.
背景情况:
- 家庭医疗保健的有效性受到争议.
- 以前的退伍军人事务 (VA) 团队管理的家庭初级保健 (TM/HBPC) 试验显示出积极的结果,但概括性不确定.
研究的目的:
- 评估TM/HBPC对患者功能状态的影响.
- 评估与健康相关的生活质量 (HR-QoL) 和对护理的满意度.
- 为了确定对护理成本的影响.
主要方法:
- 在16个VA医疗中心 (1994-1998) 进行多站点随机对照试验 (RCT).
- 1966名患者 (平均年龄70岁) 患有功能障碍或特定疾病 (绝症,心血管疾病,慢性肺炎).
- 干预:与初级保健主管的TM/HBPC,24小时联系,重新入院的预审批,以及退院计划支持与常规护理.
主要成果:
- 两组之间功能状态 (巴特尔指数) 没有显著差异.
- 在TM/HBPC的绝症患者中,HR-QoL显著改善.
- 非绝症患者报告对护理的满意度更高.
- 终末期患者的护理人员经历了HR-QoL的改善;非终末期患者的护理人员报告了负担的减少.
- 严重残疾患者在6个月内再入院的病例减少了22%,但在12个月内没有持续.
- TM/HBPC的成本较高 (在6个月后为6.8%,在12个月后为12.1%).
结论:
- TM/HBPC增强了绝症患者的HR-QoL和非绝症患者的满意度.
- 护理人员的结果有所改善,包括减少负担.
- 观察到医院再入院的短期减少,但TM/HBPC并没有取代其他护理形式.
- 必须与TM/HBPC的益处同时考虑TM/HBPC的成本增加.

Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Randomized Experiments
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.
