Assessing the Effectiveness of Patient-Centric Leadership on Overall Quality of Life in Chronic Disease Management

Introduction: (This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of patient-oriented leadership on the improvement of quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic diseases. The authors introduced the need for patient-centered care as the prevalence of chronic diseases has reached alarming proportions, both for the patient and the health system. They emphasized the importance of patient-oriented leadership in fostering patient empowerment, engagement in decision-making, and better health results. Methods: It was not necessary to change task 1 methods as it was a basic task that was used to introduce a customized quantitative questionnaire with pre-test and post_test on patient quality of life to measure the effectiveness of patient-centric leadership on overall quality of life. A total of 200 patients with chronic diseases who were undergoing treatment were divided into an intervention group that received patient-centered leadership training and a control group that received conventional care. The validated scales used in the questionnaire encompassed patient empowerment, involvement in decision-making, and overall quality of life. Results: Very briefly, the data demonstrated a substantial improvement in the proportion of empowered patients, involvement with making decisions, and quality of life in the intervention group relative to the control group. They also observed a positive association between patient-centric leadership and patient empowerment and engagement in decision-making. Patient-centred leadership significantly impacts the improvement of the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases. Conclusions:Thus, the study demonstrated that it is the consolidated, systematic training in patient-centered leadership that promotes patient empowerment and engagement in their own disease decisions, which is translated into a life in which, through patient potential, the quality of life increases through patient-centered leadership. This result underscores the need for patients' descriptors in healthcare leadership based care, and the value of adopting this patient-centered approach in the management of chronic disease. Long-term implications of patient-centric leadership on health outcomes in chronic disease management should be further established.
