RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic back and knee pain impairs health- related quality of life (HRQoL) and patient enablement can improve HRQoL. AIM: To determine whether enablement was a moderator of the effect of chronic back and knee pain on HRQoL. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study of Chinese patients with chronic back and knee problems in public primary care clinics in Hong Kong. METHOD: Each participant completed the Chinese Patient Enablement Instrument-2 (PEI-2), the Chinese Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the Pain Rating Scale (PRS). Multivariable regression examined the effects of PRS score and PEI-2 score on WOMAC total score. A moderation regression model and simple slope analysis were used to evaluate whether the interaction between enablement (PEI-2) and pain (PRS) had a significant effect on HRQoL (WOMAC). RESULTS: Valid patient-reported outcome data from 1306 participants were analysed. PRS score was associated with WOMAC total score (ß = 0.326, P<0.001), whereas PEI-2 score was associated inversely with WOMAC total score (ß = -0.260, P<0.001) and PRS score. The effect of the interaction between PRS and PEI-2 (PRS × PEI-2) scores on WOMAC total score was significant (ß = -0.191, P<0.001) suggesting PEI-2 was a moderator. Simple slope analyses showed that the relationship between PRS and WOMAC was stronger for participants with a low level of PEI-2 (gradient 3.056) than for those with a high level of PEI-2 (gradient 1.746). CONCLUSION: Patient enablement moderated the impact of pain on HRQoL. A higher level of enablement can lessen impairment in HRQoL associated with chronic back and knee pain.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Information on HRQOL can enhance patient diagnosis and management but it is rarely available in routine clinical practice. This mixed-method study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the electronic EQ-5D-5L measurement of HRQOL in patients with chronic musculoskeletal problems in primary care. METHODS: In three primary care clinics, 665 patients with musculoskeletal problems completed the electronic EQ-5D-5L and Visual Analogue Scale (e-EQ-5D-5L/VAS), and a questionnaire on socio-demographics, perceived ease of use (PEOU), and perceived usefulness (PU) at baseline and two follow-ups. Patient completion and response rates, and time to complete the e-EQ-5D-5L/VAS were measured. During the same consultations, 49 doctors reviewed the e-EQ-5D-5L/VAS reports and completed a clinician questionnaire on PEOU, PU, and time spent to address each report. Individual interviews along with focus group discussions were conducted on patients, doctors, and research assistants for further exploration. RESULTS: Mean completion time reduced from baseline to first and second follow-up (120.66, 83.99, and 105.22 s, respectively). Completion and response rates were high at each follow-up visit (> 99.8% and > 91.11%, respectively). Doctors needed less than 2 min to read the report but felt the time required to address the report was a significant barrier. Some patients had difficulties using e-platforms, in understanding or answering questions; but, PEOU improved with time (p < 0.001). Most patients found the e-platforms useful (> 85.3%). Clinicians agreed a great majority of the reports were easy to use (76.0-85.1%) and useful (69.2-72.0%), particularly aiding with a holistic view of the patient's musculoskeletal problem. CONCLUSION: The e-EQ-5D-5L/VAS is a feasible and acceptable measurement of HRQOL of patients with chronic musculoskeletal problems in routine primary care in Hong Kong which can assist real-time management decisions. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT03609762.
