Overview
Patient engagement, also called patient activation or patient participation, is defined as "patient involvement in the decision-making process in matters pertaining to health."[1]
Measuring patient engagement
Patient activation can be measured with the "Patient Activation Measure".[2]
Readiness to change can be measured by the Readiness to Change Ruler[3][4] or by the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) questionnaire[5] based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change. The URICA is 23 or 32 items and a 12 item "'Readiness to change" version[6] has been developed. The Ruler correlates with the full questionnaire[7][6] and predicts behavioral intentions[7].
How to increase patient engagement / participation
Encouraging the patient to participate in decisions may increase engagement and patient compliance.[8][2] Using stories to describe medical evidence may help communication.[9]
