8. januar 2021 opdateret af: Schweizer Paraplegiker Forschung
Shared Responsibility Between General Practitioners and Highly Specialized Hospitals in Complex Chronic Conditions: the Case of Spinal Cord Injury in a Nationwide Intervention Study
It is an interventional study that aims to assess a new primary care model of collaboration between specialized centers and primary care physicians in Switzerland, in order to reduce morbidity and improve patients' and providers' experience with delivery of follow-up care in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury as compared to current best practice.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
This model will lead to awareness, recognition and interactive communication between GPs and specialists and guidelines on the shared-role relationship.
The study interventions are educational modules on bladder, bowel, skin-care, and pain management which will be provided to participating GPs by Spinal Cord Injury specialists. In addition visits by specialized nurses to the participating GPs at their practices to support the establishment of specialized care on-site.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Aktiv komparator: Intervention group
Physicians: 10 GPs from 10 practices who treat patient with Spinal cord injury (SCI) and 10 SCI specialists. Patients: 270 people with SCI within 25 minutes vehicle driving distance to the GP practices will be in the intervention group |
Educational modules on bladder, bowel and skin-care, and pain management will be provided to participating GPs by Spinal Cord Injury specialists
Visits by specialized nurses to the participating GPs at their practices to support the establishment of specialized care on-site
|
|
Ingen indgriben: Control group
Physicians: 20 GPs who treat patient with SCI will not receive any intervention. They will be completing the questionnaire (DOC) and assessed for satisfaction with collaboration with the SCI specialist. Patients: 210 people with spinal cord injury outside the catchment area of the intervention group will be receiving usual care (no intervention) |

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Average difference in total score of Doctor's Opinions on Collaboration (DOC)
Tidsramme: Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
|
DOC is a validated questionnaire covering organization, communication, professional expertise, image and knowing each other.
It will be completed by GPs and SCI specialists.
The DOC will be converted to an interval score and scaled from 0 to 100 with minimum and maximum score (0=completely agree, 100=completely disagree)

Average difference in total score of Modified Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) score
Tidsramme: Change from baseline to 12 and 24 months post intervention
|
Modified Spinal Cord Secondary Conditions Scale (SCI-SCS) targets secondary conditions associated with SCI composite endpoint, excluding diabetes mellitus and joint and muscle pain.
Modified (SCI-SCS) includes 14 health conditions and chronic pain.
Self reporting through questionnaires on pressure sores, urinary tract infections, spasticity, postural hypotension, bowel, and bladder problems, etc...).
The rating scale uses a 4-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 (not experienced/insignificant problem never limiting activity) to 3 (significant/chronic problem).
