Qualitative Phenomenological Study on Videoconferencing Therapeutic Education
- Conditions
- Chronic Disease
- Interventions
- Other: Individual interview
- Registration Number
- NCT05378958
- Lead Sponsor
- Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
- Brief Summary
Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is one of the mechanisms that make patients with chronic disease as competent as possible to manage illness and treatment by helping them to be autonomous and responsible for their decision-making.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the organization of care, prioritizing the emergency fight against the epidemic.
The French High Authority of Health (HAS) has recommended maintaining individual TPE sessions by videoconference or telephone, based on the usual stages of the educational process. Several working groups have looked into remote TPE and recommendations have been issued in the form of practical advice but without questioning the participants, who did not participate in the reflection. No consensus, including health authorities, has been reached on this subject.
At Necker Hospital, ETPs were carried out remotely, by videoconference. Understanding remote therapeutic education by videoconference through lived experience, by means of a one-hour interview, of the caregivers who deliver it and the parents of patients or the patients who receive it, will make it possible to better understand the effects of remote mode on therapeutic education sessions but also on professional practices and on participants.
The benefit will be twofold: for caregivers: to facilitate the deployment of this new educational offer. For patients and their carers: give priority access to TPE to families who are far from the healthcare system or to patients who are too fragile to travel and thus reduce inequalities and geographical barriers.
- Detailed Description
Chronic disease onset, due to its lasting and progressive nature, generates significant personal, family and socio-professional disabilities and difficulties. This situation requires active participation on the part of the patient, who must adopt protective behaviors in order to live better as much as possible.
Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is one of the mechanisms that will make patients as competent as possible to manage illness and treatment by helping them to be autonomous and responsible for their decision-making.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the organization of care, prioritizing the emergency fight against the epidemic. The TPE programs were also impacted by the pandemic.The French High Authority of Health (HAS) has recommended maintaining individual TPE sessions by videoconference or telephone, based on the usual stages of the educational process, without however defining clear recommendations for remote TPE. Several working groups have looked into remote TPE and recommendations have been issued in the form of practical advice without questioning the participants, who did not participate in the reflection. No consensus, including health authorities, has been reached on this subject.
At Necker Hospital, ETPs were carried out remotely, by videoconference. This new way of providing training required upstream preparation, reflection on the content, the use of digital tools and their mastery on the part of participants and speakers. The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand remote therapeutic education by videoconference through lived experience, by means of a one-hour interview, of the caregivers who deliver it and the parents of patients or the patients who receive it. The interviews will make it possible to better understand the effects of distant mode on therapeutic education sessions on participants but also on professional's practices. The benefit will be twofold: for caregivers: to facilitate the deployment of this new educational offer. For patients and their carers: give priority access to TPE to families who are far from the healthcare system or to patients who are too fragile to travel and thus reduce inequalities and geographical barriers.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Understanding of remote therapeutic education by videoconference 18 months Exploratory qualitative research of the lived experience of remote therapeutic education sessions by videoconference (phenomena) by interviewing participants and caregivers. Verbatim analysis of interviews by phenomenological qualitative method : collection, organization, and interpretation of textual material derived from talk or conversation to understand the phenomena and its meaning. The purpose of this approach is to bring out the categories of the phenomenon studied, each category representing a dimension of the phenomenon studied.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Develop recommendations levers for videoconferencing therapeutic education 24 months From the synthesis of all the data analyzed (verbatim interview analysed with semio pragmatic phenomelogy method, by answering the question : what will you advice a person who will provide remote therapeutic education ?) collect a framework of recommendations (practices from the field) to carry out a remote therapeutic education session intended for caregivers and taking into account the expectations and needs of the participants.
Identify the particularities of distance therapeutic education and its success factors 18 months Exploratory qualitative research of the lived experience of remote therapeutic education sessions by videoconference of participants and caregivers. Verbatim analysis of all the interviews, by the semio pragmatic phenomenology method, for identification of recurrences of theme to constitute a referencing of brakes and levers.
