This work makes it clear how important #HealthLiteracy is in supporting people to self-manage their health. Supporting people to find, evaluate and use health information is absolutely essential for them to self-manage their health effectively. /9

Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
It is worth noting that positive and negative affect were not significant contributors to patient activation. The model is more complex than perhaps we originally thought or there may be condition-specific factors. /8
100
Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
There was also huge variation in patient activation scores across the sample. This isn’t in the paper but some participants had very big changes to their scores in the 9 months between surveys. This means planning self-management support based on patient activation should account for fluctuation. /7
100
Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
I found some interesting stuff about patient activation! Self-efficacy, internal health locus of control, and 2 aspects of health literacy (having enough info to manage health and understanding this info enough to know what to do) explained variance in patient activation. /6

Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
251 people took part. 94% were white British – there’s a lot more I know now about gathering data from a diverse range of people that I didn’t know then. Participants were mainly female (74%), with Rheumatoid Arthritis (66%) and had lived with their condition for an average of 14.5 years. /5

Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
I had done #QualitativeResearch to help me decide which factors might be important, and added demographic questions. The existing model of patient activation suggested positive & negative affect was important, so I added this to see if this was the case in people with #InflammatoryArthritis. /4

Dr Beth Jones @bethjonesresearch.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
I wanted to find factors that explained differences in patient activation. I decided to do a survey with 2 time points with the same people to see if patient activation also changed over time. /3
