摘要

To determine rheumatology patient care experience using the novel Commissioning for Quality in Rheumatoid Arthritis-PREM-Australian version (CQRA-PREM-AU). Patients attending Central Adelaide Local Health Network rheumatology outpatient clinics were invited to complete a cross-sectional web-based survey, comprising CQRA-PREM-AU (22 items, 8 domains, scored 1–5), demographics, Patient Global Assessment (PGA) and Patient Reported Disease Activity (PRDA) Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) (scored 0–100), Single Item Literacy Screener (SILS). Analysed were multivariable linear regression analysis of CQRA-PREM-AU overall score with patient-related covariates (diagnosis, age, sex, SILS, PGA, PRDA), and univariate regression analysis with clinic-related covariates (site, nurse contact, type/number of consultations). Response rate was 1408/4591(31%). 214 incomplete records were excluded; 1194 records were analysed. Respondent characteristics: 68% female, median age 64 years (IQR 54, 73), 29% rural, 7% non-English language at home. PGA median score 50 (IQR 27, 63) and PRDA median score 50 (IQR 26, 69). CQRA-PREM-AU Domain 1 (regarding patient Needs and Preferences) had the best overall mean score (4.1, SD 0.86). Scored poorly were Domain 3 (Information about care, 3.5, SD 0.89), Domain 4 (Daily living, 3.5, SD 1.06) and Domain 5 (Emotional care, 3.6, SD 1.04). Worse PGA, and diagnoses of systemic lupus erythematosus, “other”, or “unknown” were all associated with significantly lower CQRA-PREM-AU score (p < 0.01). Older age, and rheumatology nurse contact were associated with better experience score (p < 0.01). Use of CQRA-PREM-AU highlights the association between contact with a rheumatology nurse and better care experience, and identifies other targets for improving healthcare delivery.
