Effectiveness of person-centred care after acute coronary syndrome in relation to educational level: Subgroup analysis of a two-armed randomised controlled trial
Why the study?
Does person-centred care plus usual care improve a composite score of self-efficacy, return to work, re-hospitalisation, or death in patients <75 years with acute coronary syndrome?
Structured PICO
Does person-centred care plus usual care improve a composite score of self-efficacy, return to work, re-hospitalisation, or death in patients <75 years with acute coronary syndrome?
P
Population
199 patients <75 years with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
I
Intervention
Person-centred care (PCC) plus usual care (co-created PCC health plan, continued collaboration in person-centred teams) for 6 months
C
Comparator
Usual care alone
O
Outcome
Composite score of changes that included general self-efficacy assessment, return to work or previous activity level, re-hospitalisation or death at 6 monthscomposite
Person-centred care significantly improves clinical and patient-reported outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome who have lower educational levels.
