Abstract

Introduction: Patient engagement and activation in self-care and focused care are important issues in primary health care. Objective: To determine whether a participatory planning intervention has any impact on HRQOL in patients with chronic diseases. Methods: A real-life randomized control study integrated into daily work was conducted in 28 primary care practices. Results: After 12 months, there was a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in the intervention groups. Conclusions: Treatment with a participant patient care plan was not significantly superior to usual care after a 12-month follow-up.
