A multi-criteria decision model for assessing health and self-care ability. (English) Zbl 07722451
Summary: Population ageing together with the greater prevalence of multimorbidity add to the need for and complexity of healthcare services. This makes it important to encourage and empower patients with chronic diseases to take care of themselves. An associated goal of such efforts is to significantly reduce the burden on healthcare systems and positively impact patients’ health outcomes and quality of life. The paper presents a multi-criteria decision model for assessing the health and self-care of patients with chronic diseases in the home environment. The model is based on the DEX methodology and was tested on ten cases. The model assists with the timely recognition of relevant symptoms and signs in decision-making about health and self-care. It can be used to promote patients taking on an active role with respect to caring for their health and well-being. The model could be integrated into self-care processes. It might also serve as a basis for an interprofessional approach to supporting older patients with chronic diseases living as fully and independently as possible in the environment in which they feel most comfortable.
