The Partners in Health scale: The development and psychometric properties of a generic assessment scale for chronic condition self-management

The PIH scale has demonstrated potential to be a reliable and valid measure of chronic condition self-management and may help health professionals to introduce the concept of self- management to their patients/clients, and provides a rapid checklist of areas ofSelf-management that may lead to interventions targeted to the individual. Despite the vast amount of evidence supporting the effectiveness of chronic condition self-management, no generic instrument exists to assess self-management. In light of this, the Partners in Health (PIH) scale was developed and then piloted for acceptability. Forty-six patients completed the PIH pilot scale, with positive feedback from the patients, GPs, and other health professionals in the pilot program. The PIH scale has demonstrated potential to be a reliable and valid measure of chronic condition self-management. A future study is proposed, however, to confirm the findings presented here. The PIH scale may help health professionals to introduce the concept of self-management to their patients/clients, and provides a rapid checklist of areas of self-management that may lead to interventions targeted to the individual. Out of the many terms used in the literature, self-management is the term decided on here to refer to the active involvement of the patient in the management of their chronic medical condition.
