What data supports the effectiveness of the Supporting Healthy Relationships Program treatment?

The research highlights the importance of building strong relationships and partnerships between patients and healthcare providers, which can lead to improved satisfaction and outcomes. Programs that focus on patient-centered care and partnership, like the Supporting Healthy Relationships Program, are shown to enhance communication and collaboration, benefiting both patients and healthcare staff.12345

How is the Supporting Healthy Relationships Program treatment different from other relationship improvement treatments?

The Supporting Healthy Relationships Program is unique because it focuses on enhancing relationship skills through structured sessions, similar to the Healthy Relationships intervention, which has been effective in improving coping and decision-making skills in managing relationship stress and communication. Unlike self-directed programs, it likely involves guided sessions to ensure adherence and effectiveness.678910

What is the purpose of this trial?

The overarching objective for the Supporting Health Relationships (SHR) program is to create and sustain families in the Bronx by improving relationship skills, improving parenting skills, and improving parental financial support for children. The investigator's local evaluation addresses a research question about the effectiveness of delivering the SHR curriculum virtually: To what extent do couples show improvements in engagement, skills learning, and relationship quality outcomes when receiving the curriculum over Zoom?

Impact of incorporating a patient-centered care model.Orn, M.[2018]
Patients have valuable insights that can help healthcare providers design better programs to meet their needs and improve outcomes, but there are challenges in fostering a culture of patient partnerships.
Leadership must take specific actions, such as setting clear expectations and providing education, to create environments that support effective patient engagement in healthcare decision-making.
The Leadership and Organizational Context Required to Support Patient Partnerships.O'Connor, P., Di Carlo, M., Rouleau, JL.[2019]
The University Hospitals of Geneva successfully established a partnership culture by studying existing collaborations between patients and healthcare professionals, leading to a structured relational approach based on mutual respect and expertise.
Over two years, the initiative facilitated 67 meetings and involved 510 patients, demonstrating that sustained exchanges between patients and professionals benefit both parties and can be adapted to other healthcare institutions.
