Abstract

Background: Previous research using cross‐sectional data has shown a positive relationship between patient activation and quality of care. The quantitative relationships in the same patients over time, however, remain undefined. Objective: To examine the relationship between changes in activation over time and patient‐assessed quality of chronic illness care. Design: Prospective cohort study. Participants: The study used data reported annually from 2008 (N = 3761) to 2010 (N = 3040), using self‐report survey questionnaires, completed by patients with type 2 diabetes in a population‐based cohort in Q ueensland, A ustralia. Main Measures: Principal measures were the 13‐item P atient A ctivation M easure (PAM), and the 20‐item P atient A ssessment of C hronic I llness C are (PACIC) instrument. Methods: Nonparametric anova was used to determine the association between patient activation and patient‐assessed quality of care in low and high patient activation groups at baseline (2008), and in 2009 and 2010, when patients had changed group membership. The W ilcoxon signed ranks test was used to compare the PACIC scores between baseline and each follow‐up survey for the same patient activation level. Results: Patient activation was positively associated with the median PACIC score within each survey year and within each of the groups defined at baseline (high‐ and low‐activation groups; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Patient activation and the PACIC change in the same direction and should be considered together in the interpretation of patient care assessment. This can be carried out by interpreting PACIC scores within strata of PAM.

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.
