| Scientific title | A randomised controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of chronic disease self management in people with osteoarthritis awaiting joint replacement surgery to improve their health related quality of life |
| Study objectives | The management of disability of patients on joint replacement waiting lists will be improved through the introduction of a regional Partners in Health model promoting self management supported by a telephone call-centre. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from: 1. The Flinders Clinical Research Ethics Committee on the 27th July 2005 2. The Repatriation General Hospital Research and Ethics Committee on the 17th August 2005 (ref: 36/05) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Osteoarthritis |
| Intervention | Partners in Health chronic disease self management is a clinician focused approach which provides health professionals with the tools to work in partnership with individuals with chronic illness to maximise their self management capacity. The generic patient-centred assessment using a Partners in Health scale, Cue and Response interview and Problems/goal identification results in a care plan that describes which services and self-management goals will be addressed over a 6-month period. Partners in Health will be linked to a telephone support system manned by trained non-medical personnel (and managed by Arthritis South Australia). Participants allocated to the control group received the usual standard of care for patients on orthopaedic waiting lists. Participants in the control group were able to access the "Moving Towards Wellness" course run by Arthritis SA (as is the case for all people who are added to the orthopaedic waiting list). Participants in the control group did not receive any additional educational material. |

| Primary outcome measure | Health education impact was measured using the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (HEI-Q) at baseline and six months. |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Quality of life, measured using the Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL), at baseline and six months 2. Depression, measured using the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) at baseline and six months 3. Medications beliefs were measured using the Beliefs about Medicines which is a patient-centred measure that captures individuals general beliefs about use of prescription and non-prescription medicines, at baseline and six months 4. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Arthritis Index was used to capture the pain, stiffness and function associated with osteoarthritis at baseline and six months |
