Study Overview
Brief Summary
Interest in patient therapeutic education (PTE) is increasing: in France PTE was included within the 2009 "Hospital, Patient, Health and Territory" law as an essential component of the patient healthcare pathway.
PTE is a complex intervention: its delivery is variable and may vary according to its content, functioning, providers, targeted patients, environment and even its objectives. These differences impact the expected results and make difficult the evaluation of PTE interventions. To overcome this difficulty, it is essential to describe precisely the intervention, the processes and the implementation of PTE that are usually not known. PTE interventions need today a global understanding of their mechanisms constituting their complexity.
CONCErTo study aims at developing a classification of the different elements composing a PTE intervention that can impact their results and can ensure their continued existence.
Mechanisms implemented during PTE interventions will be analyzed by a qualitative research. The investigators wish to identify organizational, pedagogical, psychosocial, medical or contextual elements that can impact the results, the patients' participation and the continuity of the program.
The perspective of this research is to improve the understanding of PTE by providing thorough description of the interventions. This work will help stakeholders to better interpret the results of their interventions, to improve the transferability, the implementation and finally to determine which are the elements able to improve patients' health status.
Detailed Description
This research is an observational study with no intervention. It uses qualitative methods.
The development of the classification consists in 3 phases: a preliminary phase of literature review, an investigation phase and a phase of elaboration of the classification.
Preliminary phase To deepen the questioning of the research, a literature review will be realized on concepts and models as well as on tools and methods used in the published PTE interventions.
Investigation phase
This step uses qualitative methods with 3 types of data collection:
