@entity1 @entity2613 @entity5 @entity14
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine differences in healthcare service utilization among @entity1 with @entity5 participating in a nurse-led psychoeducational intervention.   . DESIGN: Secondary analysis of trial data.   . SETTING: Four Michigan @entity5 centers.    . SAMPLE: 484 @entity1 with @entity5 .    . METHODS: @entity1 were randomized to three groups. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: Study arm (brief, extensive, or control), @entity2613 visitation (one or more times versus none), inpatient hospitalizations (one or more times versus none), and covariates.   . FINDINGS: No significant differences in @entity2613 or inpatient hospitalizations were observed among study arms. @entity2613 were more frequent for @entity1 with lung or @entity14 , more comorbidities, and lower baseline QOL. Baseline QOL was associated with inpatient hospitalizations in the adjusted analysis.   . CONCLUSIONS: The psychoeducational intervention, either in brief or extensive format, is unlikely to increase healthcare service utilization.   . IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Efficacious nurse-led psychoeducational interventions to improve QOL do not place undue burdens on the healthcare system and may improve care.   .
