  • Title: Can self-management programmes change healthcare utilisation in COPD?: A systematic review and framework analysis.
    Author: Smalley KR, Aufegger L, Flott K, Mayer EK, Darzi A.
    Journal: Patient Educ Couns; 2021 Jan; 104(1):50-63. PubMed ID: 32912809.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The study aims to evaluate the ability of self-management programmes to change the healthcare-seeking behaviours of people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and any associations between programme design and outcomes. METHODS: A systematic search of the literature returned randomised controlled trials of SMPs for COPD. Change in healthcare utilisation was the primary outcome measure. Programme design was analysed using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). RESULTS: A total of 26 papers described 19 SMPs. The most common utilisation outcome was hospitalisation (n = 22). Of these, 5 showed a significant decrease. Two theoretical domains were evidenced in all programmes: skills and behavioural regulation. All programmes evidenced at least 5 domains. However, there was no clear association between TDF domains and utilisation. Overall, study quality was moderate to poor. CONCLUSION: This review highlights the need for more alignment in the goals, design, and evaluation of SMPs. Specifically, the TDF could be used to guide programme design and evaluation in future. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Practices have a reasonable expectation that interventions they adopt will provide patient benefit and value for money. Better design and reporting of SMP trials would address their ability to do so.
