Change of perspective: A measurable and desired outcome of chronic disease self‐management intervention programs that violates the premise of preintervention/postintervention assessment

Abstract

This study suggests that preintervention/postintervention assessments of interventions such as self-management courses are confounded by a change in perspective of a large proportion of respondents. It also indicates response shift is a valuable outcome of self-management courses that can be measured with a paper-based questionnaire.
