Self-management of pain is a critical component of arthritis care; however, limited mobility can restrict access to resources. Although the internet has become a primary source of health information, few studies address what patients want and need from a self-management website.
Thirty-two people diagnosed with arthritis and 12 practitioners a) participated in individual one-hour interviews and b) sorted and rated a list of 88 unique statements that were derived from the interviews. Qualitative data were analysed using concept mapping procedures.
The six-cluster map provided the best discrimination between statements. Follow-up analyses suggested that although patients with arthritis and practitioners generally agree on the categories of content on a self-management website about arthritis, they appear to disagree on the importance of each category.
These findings about patient and provider desired content can be used by health educators to develop a curriculum for health education of patients with arthritis pain.
疼痛自我管理是关节炎护理的关键组成部分;然而,行动不便可能会限制获取资源。尽管互联网已成为健康信息的主要来源,但很少有研究探讨患者对自我管理网站的需求。
32名被诊断患有关节炎的患者和12名从业者a)参加了为期一小时的个人访谈,b)对从访谈中得出的88条独特陈述进行分类和评级。使用概念映射程序对定性数据进行分析。
六聚类图能最好地区分陈述。后续分析表明,虽然患有关节炎的患者和从业者在关节炎自我管理网站的内容类别上总体一致,但他们在每个类别的重要性上似乎存在分歧。
健康教育工作者可利用这些关于患者和提供者期望内容的研究结果,为患有关节炎疼痛的患者制定健康教育课程。
