About this study

The study wil be composed of 2 phases. Phase 1 will consist of a national questionnaire survey of French Regional Health Authorities (ARS) to identify and characterize all multiprofessional health centres running a self-management programme in France. It will be supported by the informal inter-ARS network of self-management project managers.

Phase 2 will consist of a qualitative survey of multiprofessional health centres. On the basis of the various significant variables identified in phase 1, different multiprofessional health centres will be selected to provide a varied sample (location, number of healthcare professionals, themes, etc.). This will enable an in-depth analysis of the findings of the quantitative survey, and a comparison with the realities of the multiprofessional health centre's health care professionals.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

First phase (quantitative survey): All regional health authority agencies will be surveyed on all self-management programmes developed by multiprofessional health centres since 2014 (estimated number of 270 in France in 2021).

Second phase (qualitative survey): In the first time, for the selection of the multiprofessional health centres , we will realized a varied sampling in search of maximum variation of the multiprofessional health centres according to the results of the first phase (continuation or not of the program, location of the programme, number of health care professionals in the educational team and presence of expert patients, theme of the programme...). In a second phase, for the individual interviews, we will carry out a varied sampling in search of maximum variation reflecting the plurality of the educational team observed in the documentary survey of each multiprofessional health centres.

The educational team includes healthcare professionals from the multiprofessional health centres and expert patients.
