Effects of Person-Centered Care Using a Digital Platform and Structured Telephone Support for People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Heart Failure: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic heart failure (CHF) are characterized by severe symptom burden and common acute worsening episodes that often require hospitalization and affect prognosis. Although many studies have shown that person-centered care (PCC) increases self-efficacy in patients with chronic conditions, studies on patients with COPD and CHF treated in primary care and the effects of PCC on the risk of hospitalization in these patients are scarce.

Objective

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PCC through a combined digital platform and telephone support for people with COPD and CHF.

Methods

A multicenter randomized trial was conducted from 2018 to 2020. A total of 222 patients were recruited from 9 primary ca
