“…The Total Health Status (THS) scale of the HSQ-12 (Barry, Kaiser, and Atwood 2007;Radosevich and Pruitt 1996) measured SRHS. The HSQ-12 consisted of twelve items collapsed into eight categories, including health perception, physical functioning, role-physical, body pain, energy/fatigue, social functioning, role-mental, and mental health (Radosevich and Pruitt 1996).…”

“…Compared to those without disabilities, people with disabilities had unmet health needs and experienced difficulties or disparities in obtaining health care (CDC 2011). Those with disabilities also had lower self-esteem and perceived quality of life (Duvdevany 2010), had a greater frequency of health conditions/problems (Freid, Bernstein, and Bush 2012), and reported lower SRHS than those without disabilities (Barry, Kaiser, and Atwood 2007;Bowling and Windsor 1997;Pettit et al 2001). Freid and colleagues (2012) found that the burden of chronic medical conditions has been increasing in U.S. adult women: 21 percent had two or more of nine selected chronic conditions in 2009-2010 (including hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, current asthma, and kidney disease).…”

Transition throughout midlife can affect women's perception of their health status. Multiple factors are potentially related to self-reported health status (SRHS), but it was not clear what factors are related to SRHS for midlife women, especially those with low income. This study examined factors related to SRHS in low income midlife women over time. A multi-step linear regression of longitudinal Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) data (n = 310) from July 2000 through November 2006 was used. Participants completed SRHS at initial (baseline) enrollment into MMC (T1), with a second assessment completed 11 to 23 months later for those retaining MMC eligibility (T2). Results indicated that disability and number of medical conditions were the factors most related to SRHS. SRHS scores differed significantly between non-disabled and disabled women. For disabled women, SRHS improved significantly between T1 and T2 (p < .001), but not for non-disabled women. Those with lower SRHS scores used community agencies more often. Further studies of SRHS and health-related factors are needed as SRHS is frequently an indicator of population health. Greater evidenced-based knowledge of SRHS in midlife women will inform preventive interventions for this population.

“…The scale measuring quality of life in Alzheimer's disease (QoL-AD) 64 was removed as we were already measuring quality of life with the EQ-5D and the DEMQOL scale; the researchers felt that the extra measure was excessive and therefore unnecessary. Similarly, the 12-item Health Status Questionnaire (HSQ-12) 65 was removed and the GHQ-28 was retained.…”

BackgroundPeople with dementia and their families need support in different forms, but currently services are often fragmented with variable quality of care. Case management offers a way of co-ordinating services along the care pathway and therefore could provide individualised support; however, evidence of the effectiveness of case management for dementia is inconclusive.ObjectiveTo adapt the intervention used in a promising case management project in the USA and test its feasibility and acceptability in English general practice.DesignIn work package 1, a design group of varied professionals, with a carer and staff from the voluntary sector, met six times over a year to identify the skills and personal characteristics required for case management; protocols from the US study were adapted for use in the UK. The feasibility of recruiting general practices and patient–carer dyads and of delivering case management were tested in a pilot study (work package 2). An embedded qualitative study explored stakeholder views on study procedures and case management.SettingFour general practices, two in the north-east of England (Newcastle) one in London and one in Norfolk, took part in a feasibility pilot study of case management.ParticipantsCommunity-dwelling people with dementia and their carers who were not already being case managed by other services.InterventionA social worker shared by the two practices in the north-east and practice nurses in the other two practices were trained to deliver case management. We aimed to recruit 11 people with dementia from each practice who were not already being case managed.Main outcome measuresNumbers of people with dementia and their carers recruited, numbers and content of contacts, needs identified and perceptions of case management among stakeholders.ResultsRecruitment of practices and patients was slow and none of the practices achieved its recruitment target. It took more than 6 months to recruit a total of 28 people with dementia. Practice Quality and Outcome Framework registers for dementia contained only 60% of the expected number of people, most living in care homes. All stakeholders were positive about the potential of case management; however, only one of the four practices achieved a level of case management activity that might have influenced patient and carer outcomes. Case managers’ activity levels were not related solely to time available for case management. Delivery of case management was hindered by limited clarity about the role, poor integration with existing services and a lack of embeddedness within primary care. There were discrepancies between case manager and researcher judgements about need, and evidence of a high threshold for acting on unmet need. The practice nurses experienced difficulties in ring-fencing case management time.ConclusionsThe model of case management developed and evaluated in this feasibility study is unlikely to be sustainable in general practice under current conditions and in our view it would not be appropriate to attempt a definitive trial of this model. This study could inform the development of a case management role with a greater likelihood of impact. Different approaches to recruiting and training case managers, and identifying people with dementia who might benefit from case management, are needed, as is exploration of the scale of need for this type of working.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN74015152.FundingThis project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment programme and will be published in full inHealth Technology Assessment; Vol. 18, No. 52.

BackgroundTwo-thirds of people with dementia live at home, receiving most care from family carers, about 40% of whom have clinically significant depression or anxiety. This impacts on the person with dementia, families and society, predicting care breakdown. There are currently no clinically effective and cost-effective NHS family carer interventions.ObjectivesTo assess the STrAtegies for RelaTives (START) intervention in the short (4 and 8 months) and long term (1 and 2 years) compared with treatment as usual (TAU).DesignRandomised, parallel-group, superiority trial with blinded assessment recruiting participants 2 : 1 (intervention to TAU) to allow for therapist clustering.SettingThree UK mental health services and one neurological service.ParticipantsFamily carers of people with dementia.InterventionEight-session manual-based coping intervention delivered by supervised psychology graduates to individuals.Main outcome measuresAffective symptoms [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-total (HADS-T)] and cost-effectiveness. Secondary measures: anxiety and depression symptoms and caseness, quality of life (QoL), abusive behaviour and long-term care home admission.ResultsTwo hundred and sixty participants were randomised (173 intervention, 87 TAU). We used intention-to-treat analysis in the short term (152 intervention, 77 TAU) and in the long term (140 intervention, 69 TAU).In the short term, the intervention group had lower HADS-T [mean difference –1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) –3.29 to –0.31;p = 0.02] and higher quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) (mean difference 0.03, 95% CI –0.01 to 0.08). Costs were no different between groups [mean £252 (95% CI –£28 to £565) for intervention group]. The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve showed a greater than 99% chance of being cost-effectiveness at a £30,000/QALY willingness-to-pay threshold and a high probability of cost-effectiveness based on the HADS-T score. Carers in the intervention group had less case-level depression [odds ratio (OR) 0.24, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.76], a trend towards reduced case-level anxiety (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.08 to 1.05), lower Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-anxiety (HADS-A) (–0.91, 95% CI –1.76 to –0.07;p = 0.03) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-depression (HADS-D) (–0.91, 95% CI –1.71 to –0.10;p = 0.03) and higher Health Status Questionnaire (HSQ) QoL (mean difference 4.09, 95% CI 0.34 to 7.83). Group differences in abusive behaviour (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.18 to 1.27) and the person with dementia’s quality of life-Alzheimer’s disease (QoL-AD) (mean increase 0.59, 95% CI –0.72 to 1.89) were not significant.In the long term, the intervention group had lower HADS-T (mean difference –2.58, 95% CI –4.26 to –0.90;p = 0.03) and higher QALYs (mean difference 0.03, 95% CI –0.01 to 0.06). Carers in the intervention group had less case-level depression (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.53), a trend towards reduced case-level anxiety (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.26 to 1.24), lower HADS-A (–1.16, 95% CI –2.15 to –0.18) and HADS-D (1.45, 95% CI –2.32 to –0.57), and higher HSQ (mean difference 7.47, 95% CI 2.87 to 12.08). Thirty-two (18.7%) people with dementia in the intervention group and 17 (20.2%) in TAU were admitted to a care home (hazard ratio 0.83, 95% CI 0.44 to 1.56;p = 0.56). There were no significant differences between groups in abusive behaviour (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.94), the person with dementia’s QoL-AD (0.17, 95% CI –1.37 to 1.70) or costs (£336, 95% CI –£223 to £895) for intervention group. The probability that the intervention would be seen as cost-effective at £30,000/QALY threshold and cost-effectiveness on the HADS-T remained high.ConclusionsThe START intervention was clinically effective and cost-effective in the short and longer term. The results are robust to the sensitivity analyses performed. Future work is needed to consider mechanism of action; the effects on people with dementia in clinical terms (cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, longer-term care home admission); and on health and social care costs. In addition, we will explore the effects of carer abusive behaviour on the care recipient’s care home admission and if this then reduces abusive behaviour. We would also like to implement START and evaluate this implementation in clinical practice.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISCTRN70017938.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme.
