Abstract

Objective Chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) is a major health problem that disproportionately affects people with limited resources. Many people with HCV are ineligible or refuse antiviral treatment, but less curative treatment options exist. These options include adhering to follow-up health visits, lifestyle changes, and avoiding hepatotoxins like alcohol. Herein, we describe a recently developed self-management program designed to assist HCV-infected patients with adherence and improve their health-related quality of life (HRQOL).Methods The development of the Hepatitis C Self-Management Program (HCV-SMP) was informed by scientific literature, qualitative interviews with HCV-infected patients, self-management training, and feedback from HCV clinical experts.Results The Hepatitis C Self-Management Program (HCV-SMP) is a multi-faceted program that employs cognitive-behavioral principles and is designed to provide HCV-infected people with knowledge and skills for improving their HRQOL. The program consists of six 2-h workshop sessions which are held weekly. The sessions consist of a variety of group activities, including disease-specific information dissemination, action planning, and problem-solving.Conclusion The intervention teaches skills for adhering to challenging treatment recommendations using a validated theoretical model. A randomized trial will test the efficacy of this novel HCV self-management program for improving HRQOL in a difficult to reach population.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Research on self-efficacy beliefs in hepatitis C is scarce, and no studies were found that looked at these beliefs while patients were on antiviral treatment.

    “Despite the importance of self-efficacy to medication adherence in other medical regimens, there is limited research in the HCV literature that examine self-efficacy beliefs, and no studies were identified that examined these beliefs during antiviral treatment (35;36).”

    From Reliability and validity of a self‐efficacy instrument for hepatitis C antiviral treatment regimens (2012) · cites this paper as [35]

  • Self-efficacy beliefs are important targets for clinical intervention because they can be enhanced, leading to better self-management of chronic illness, including hepatitis C.

    “Self-efficacy beliefs are important targets for clinical intervention, given that they can be enhanced, resulting in improved patient self-management of chronic illness, including chronic hepatitis C (35;36).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
