Does affiliation with a minority group affect patient activation?
PATIENT EDUCATION AND COUNSELING(2024)
Abstract
Objective: To systematically review published studies assessing associations between ethnicity and patient activation (PA) among people with chronic conditions.Methods: A systematic review (PROSPERO-CRD42022320793) was performed by searching in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies were included according to the following criteria: age > 18, diagnosis of at least one chronic condition, assessment of PA, report of ethnic minority group, and statistical analyses of PA scores include between-group comparisons or correlation or regression with ethnic group affiliation. Two reviewers conducted independent screening of records and full-text articles published until July 2021. Quality was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health study quality assessment tool.Results: From 197 records identified, 12 studies were included. The majority of studies focused on participants of White, Black and Hispanic ethnicity. Seven studies establish a significant association between ethnicity and PA, while the remainder of the studies found no association or inconclusive results.Conclusions: The findings indicate that ethnicity is related to PA although additional, multiple explanatory variables other than ethnicity to PA were identified.
