AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the theoretical foundations behind a health transition program to improve its effectiveness.
- A qualitative content analysis of various program materials revealed three main themes: effective medical management, promoting personal health, and understanding individual goals and expectations.
- The findings suggest that while the program focuses heavily on medical management, it lacks emphasis on other important health aspects, raising questions about the clarity and alignment of program goals among stakeholders.
Article Abstract
Background: To understand better what influences the practice of our transition program, we wanted to explore the underlying theory of health.
Methods: We performed a qualitative content analysis of the written material that guides the program, comprising a quality system guideline, two checklists, a guide to health professionals and managers, and three patient brochures.
Results: The analysis resulted in the formulation of three themes; "Being on top of medical management", "Ability to promote own health" and "Awareness of own goals and expectations".
Conclusion: Our analysis indicates that the program content revolves mainly around medical management and that other dimensions of health are not emphasised. We question what the goals of the program are and if these goals are explicit and shared among the program stakeholders. An explicit program theory is vital and needs to be evident in material supporting transition programs.
