More than 50 studies of the Patient Activation
Measure™ self-assessment tool have been completed or are underway worldwide. A selection
of key studies is outlined below.
Development of the Patient Activation Measure™
(PAM™): Conceptualizing and Measuring Activation in Patients
and Consumers
This study describes a process for conceptualizing
and operationalizing what it means to be "activated"
and to delineate the process used to develop a measure for
assessing "activation," and the psychometric properties
of that measure.
Do Increases in Patient Activation Result
in Improved Self-Management Behaviors?
This study sought to determine whether patient activation
is a changing or changeable characteristic and to assess whether
changes in activation also are accompanied by changes in health
behavior.
Development and Testing of a Short Form of
the Patient Activation Measure
This study sought to assess the impact of reducing
the number of items in the measure without damaging the precsion of the PAM™.
Is Patient Activation associated with better
Outcomes for Persons with Diabetes?
This study was initiated to better understand how the PAM™ associates with both cross-cutting outcome measures such as the use of self-management services and the performance of self-management behaviors, and with disease-specific outcome measures for diabetes, including medication compliance and the use of hospital or ED services.
Is Patient Activation
associated with better Outcomes for Persons with Persistent
Asthma?
This study was initiated to better understand how the PAM™ associates with both cross-cutting outcome measures such as the use of self-management services and the performance of self-management behaviors, and with disease-specific outcome measures for asthma, including medication compliance and the use of hospital or ED services.
Is Patient Activation associated with better health outcomes for Adults with Cardiovascular disease?
This study examined survey and administrative data for 2,206 adults with cardiovascular disease enrolled in a staff model HMO. Performance of self-management behaviors, medication adherence, patient satisfaction and QOL were assessed using valid subscales.
The Influence of Psychosocial Factors on Work Absenteeism in an Employed Population
Study assessed how patient activation, work relationships and relationships with family and friends influence absenteeism among working age adult enrollees of a group-model managed care organization.
Association of Neighborhood Characteristics and Social Interactions with Physical Activity, Diet, and Obesity Among Employed Adults
Study sought to better understand the association of activation with health and the practice of healthy behaviors, including the role of neighborhoods in the promotion of health.
The Influence of Primary Care Practice Climate on Patient Trust in Physician, Activation and Health
Little is known about processes by which proactive primary care teams might activate their patients. We examine the role of trust in patient-physician relationships for translating practice teamwork into patient activation.
Worksite Wellness Programs: Factors Associated with Program Availability and Employee Participation
Study objectives included: Describe the associations of worksite wellness programs and activities with employer/worksite and employee characteristicsDescribe levels of participation in worksite wellness programs and activities given their availability
Evaluate the potentially moderating influences of patient activation and worksite support/stress on participant in worksite wellness programs
