Study Title: | The Patient Reported Inventory of Self-Management of Chronic Conditions (PRISM-CC) Study |
Rationale: | The burden of chronic disease is huge and changing how health is conceived and delivered. As recognition of the growth in multi-morbidity and the central role patients play in managing their chronic conditions grows, health providers, and systems are trying to respond. Yet, existing measures of chronic disease self-management are inadequate. Better clinical and research tools to assess patients’ ability to manage and cope with multiple conditions, are needed so that we have the evidence to improve care and inform system redesign. Our aim is to improve chronic condition management by developing a feasible, patient-centred measure of chronic condition self-management that will become the primary instrument for both clinical care and research. |
