An interventional study of Multifaceted approach in Patient Centredness, Quality of Life and Risk Factors for Emotional Maladjustment, sponsored by A.G. Huppelschoten. Status unknown at 1 site in Netherlands. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2013-07-23.
Sponsored by A.G. Huppelschoten · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and costs of a multifaceted approach on the patient-centredness of fertility care and the quality of life of fertility patients.
Besides traditional outcomes as (cost)-effectiveness and safety, the Institute of Medicine calls patient-centredness as an independent outcome indicator to evaluate quality of healthcare. Nevertheless, within fertility care there is great variation in the delivery of patient-centred care and room for improvement.
The effects of a multifaceted approach on patient centredness and quality of life will be determined by a baseline and after measurement. Three questionnaires will be used to measure patient centredness (Patient Centredness Questionnaire-Infertility), Quality of Life (FertiQoL) and risk factors of emotional maladjustment(SCREENIVF). The multifaceted approach consists of: 1)audit and feedback, 2) educational outreach visits, and 3) patient-mediated interventions.
During one year the multifaceted approach is performed followed by an after measurement with the same questionnaires. The effects and costs of the multifaceted approach will be determined. Process evaluation will be performed to investigate feasibility and to study wether and to what extend patients and professionals used and appreciated the elements of the multifaceted approach.
A.G. Huppelschoten is the lead sponsor of 2 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
After baseline measurement a multifaceted approach will start for 1 year, including audit and feedback, an educational outreach visit, and patient-mediated interventions.
Behavioral: Multifaceted approach
After baseline measurement no intervention will occur in these hospitals.
Audit and feedback, educational outreach visits, and patient-mediated interventions.
Change from baseline in the level of patient-centredness at one year
Main outcome measure will be the difference in the level of patient-centredness after the multifaceted approach between control and intervention group. The level of patient-centredness will be determined by a patients' questionnaire (PCQ-Infertility).
Time frame: one year
Change from baseline in patients' quality of life at one year
Differences in the level of quality of life at after measurement between control and intervention group will be determined.
Time frame: 1 year
Change from baseline in risk factors of emotional maladjustment at one year
Differences in risk factors of emotional maladjustment at after measurement between control and intervention group will be determined.
Time frame: 1 year
Cost-effectiveness
A cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed to evaluate efficiency of the multifaceted approach at different thresholds (cost-effectiveness acceptibility curve)
Time frame: one year
