- Behaviour change support education in chronic disease : an international focus group study with undergraduate students and academic educators in nursing, pharmacy and sport science disciplinesPublication . Félix, Isa Brito; Nascimento, Carla; Pereira, Patrícia; Braam, Katja; Cadogan, Cathal; Strawbridge, Judith; Budler, Leona Cilar; Gosak, Lucija; Pimenta, Nuno; Guerreiro, Mara PereiraIntroduction: Supporting behaviour change for the self-management of chronic diseases is a key competency for health professionals. Little is known about how undergraduate students and academic educators across disciplines and European contexts perceive current education, identify unmet needs relative to a European competency framework, and view the implementation of novel educational tools. To address this gap, we explored students’ and educators’ perspectives, focusing on unmet needs, views on interprofessional education, preferred modalities for using a MOOC, case studies and a simulation software, and perceived facilitators and barriers to use. Methods: Twelve online focus groups were conducted separately with a purposive sample of 39 undergraduate students (seven groups) and 27 academic educators (5 groups). Recruitment spanned national and transnational levels across seven European countries, and included participants from nursing, pharmacy and sport science disciplines within the focus groups. The discussions were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Unmet needs in behaviour change support education were identified (e.g., models and theories, behaviour change techniques, work in partnership to prioritise target behaviours), detailing contributing factors and strategies for their development. Another theme was interprofessional behaviour change education, highlighting perceived benefits, barriers, such as limited training of educators, and implementation strategies. The third theme, on educational products, yielded insights on barriers and facilitators of use, as well as implementation within undergraduate programme. Conclusion: This study highlights the unmet needs in behaviour change support education, the potential of interprofessional education (IPE) and innovative educational products to address these gaps. Findings suggest the need for integrating behaviour change support education into undergraduate curricula, enhancing interprofessional learning on this topic and leveraging digital tools to better equip future professionals in chronic disease management. Strategies emerging from the data can guide these endeavours.
- Development of a European competency framework for health and other professionals to support behaviour change in persons self-managing chronic diseasePublication . Guerreiro, Mara; Strawbridge, Judith; Cavaco, Afonso Miguel das Neves; Félix, Isa Brito; Marques, Marta M.; Cadogan, Cathal A.Background: Healthcare and other professionals are expected to support behaviour change in people living with chronic disease. However, effective behaviour change interventions are largely absent in routine encounters. The Train4Health project, a European strategic partnership for higher education, sought to address this problem. The primary aim of this study, which is part of an early work package, was to develop an interprofessional competency framework for health and other professions to support behaviour change for the self-management of chronic disease at a European level. A secondary aim was to derive a set of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) from an established taxonomy to link with framework competencies. Methods: The study comprised two interlinked parts. Part 1 involved a two-round e-Delphi study with an interprofessional panel of 48 experts across 12 European countries to develop the behaviour change competency framework. Preparatory work included drafting a list of competency statements based on seven existing frameworks. Part 2 involved an expert panel of six behavioural psychologists deriving a set of BCTs to link with framework competencies. Their feedback was based on preparatory work, which focused on seven high priority chronic diseases for self-management, identified through European projects on self-management and identifying five relevant target behaviours from key clinical guidelines. A literature search yielded 29 effective BCTs for the target behaviours in the selected chronic diseases. Results: Twenty-seven competency statements, were presented in Round 1 to the Delphi panel. Consensus was achieved for all statements. Based on comments, two statements were removed, one was added, and 14 were modified. All 15 statements subjected to Round 2 were consensus-approved, yielding a total of 12 foundational competencies for behaviour change in self-management of chronic disease and 14 behaviour change competencies. Four behaviour change competencies related to BCTs. Behavioural psychologists’ feedback led to a core set of 21 BCTs deemed applicable to the five target behaviours across the seven chronic diseases. Conclusions: A behaviour change competency framework comprising 26 statements for European health and other professionals to support self-management of chronic disease was developed, linked with a core set of 21 BCTs from an established taxonomy.
