The value of different aspects of person-centred care: a series of discrete choice experiments in people with long-term conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To measure the value the patients place on different aspects of person-centred care.

Design

We systematically identified four attributes of person-centred care. We then measured their value to 923 people with either chronic pain or chronic lung disease over three discrete choice experiments (DCEs) about services to support self-management. We calculated the value of each attribute for all respondents and identified groups of people with similar preferences using latent class modelling.

Setting

DCEs conducted online via a commercial survey company.

Participants

Adults with either chronic pain (two DCEs, n=517 and 206, respectively) or breathlessness due to chronic respiratory disease (n=200).

Results

Participants were more likely to choose servi
