Does patient empowerment improve patient activation level in adults with cardiovascular diseases?
Effect estimate: 6.4% of total variance
Patient empowerment, particularly knowledge and understanding, is positively associated with patient activation levels in hospitalized cardiovascular patients.
Empowerment modestly associated with activation in CV inpatients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before practice change.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of patient empowerment on patient activation level in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. METHODS: The population of the study is adult individuals receiving inpatient treatment in the Cardiology clinic of a city hospital operating in Turkey. In the study, convenience sampling method was applied, and a questionnaire was conducted from 543 patients. RESULTS: As a result of the analyses made in the study, positive and low correlations were detected between the patient empowerment scale sub-dimensions and the patient activation level. According to regression analysis results, it was identified that the patient empowerment sub-dimensions together accounted for 6.4% of the total variance on the patient activation level, and the increase in the 'knowledge and understanding' levels of the patients statistically increased their perceptions of the patient activation level. DISCUSSION: The results show that by providing patient empowerment in individuals with chronic diseases, their active participation can be increased in the treatment processes and consequently in the chronic disease management.
