Since the 2000s, the City of Buenos Aires (Argentina) has implemented the Housing Self-Management Program (PAV), which promotes self-managed habitat production through the granting of collective loans to grassroots social organizations. The existing housing cooperative bank allows us to reflect on the self-managed forms used by the organizations and their impact on the neighborhood relationships built in the stage of living in the dwellings. From the deployment of a qualitative methodology, various primary sources of information produced in different research stages were recovered and analyzed from an approach that seeks to contribute to the current debates of the self-managed production of popular habitat. Among the results obtained, it was possible to verify that the forms assumed by the self-management process in the housing production stage have impacts on the base conditions for the construction of neighborhood associations typical of living.

Background/Objectives:Multidisciplinary treatment programs are seen as an effective way to treat patients with chronic illness. The purpose of this study was to describe a multidisciplinary headache program which was developed in the Canadian public healthcare setting, and to report on patient perceptions of the program and patient treatment outcomes.Methods:The Calgary Headache Assessment and Management Program (CHAMP) was developed with initial funding from Alberta Health, and continued with function from the Calgary Health Region. Patient perceptions of the program were obtained with questionnaires. Outcome measures for a cohort of patients who completed the Self-Management Workshop were obtained using standard headache related disability measures.Results:Patient perceptions of the education session, the Lifestyle Assessment, and the Self-Management Workshop were very positive. Headache Disability Inventory scores fell from 56.2 to 46.3 from baseline to three months post Self-Management Workshop (p<.001). Corresponding scores for the HIT-6 were 63.6 and 58.2 (p <.001).Conclusions:Multidisciplinary headache treatment programs can be developed in the Canadian public healthcare system. The program described here was well accepted by many patients and perceived to be useful by them. Headache related disability as measured by standard measures was significantly reduced after participation in the program.

The health political discourse on self-care is dominated by the view that the selfmanaging patient represents a more democratic and patient-centric perspective, as he or she is believed to renegotiate the terms on which patient participation in health care has hitherto taken place. The self-managing patient is intended as a challenge to traditional medical authority by introducing lay methods of knowing disease. Rather than a meeting between authoritative professionals and vulnerable patients, the self-managing patient seeks to open up new spaces for a meeting between experts. The present paper questions these assumptions through an ethnographic exploration of a patient-led self-management program called the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. The program is concerned with what its developers call the social and mental aspects of living with a chronic disease and uses trained patients as role models and program leaders. Drawing inspiration from Annemarie Mol’s term ’logic’, we explore the rationale of ’situations of selfmanagement’ and identify what we call a ’logic of change’, which involves very specific ideas on how life with a chronic condition should be dealt with and directs attention towards particular manageable aspects of life with a chronic condition. This logic of change entails, we argue, a clash not between ’medical’ and ’lay’ forms of knowledge but between different logics or perceptions of how transformation can be achieved: through open-ended and ongoing reflection and experimentation in social settings or through standardised trajectories of change. Returning to the literature on lay forms of knowledge and illness perspectives, we question whether programs such as the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program – despite its apparent patient-centric perspective – reproduces classical hierarchical relations between lay and expert knowledge, albeit in new forms.

Kertas kerja ini menganalisis peranan Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir iaitu lama reformis tempatan yang konsisten menentang British sehingga terpenjara pada 1948. Beliau turut menubuhkan Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff untuk memodenkan sistem pendidikan pondok di samping meniupkan semangat kemerdekaan kepada pelajar dan masyarakat di sekelilingnya. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengetengahkan sumbangan Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir sebagai seorang ulama dan pejuang kemerdekaan menentang British sekitar 1934 sehingga 1957 di Perak. Kajian ini berbentuk historiografi yang menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis kandungan. Dua jenis sumber digunakan dalam kajian ini iaitu sumber primer dan sekunder. Sumber primer adalah seperti mendapatkan dokumen dan fail di Arkib Negara Malaysia, sumber pejabat kolonial British di samping menemu bual ahli keluarga dan murid Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir. Sumber sekunder pula diperoleh melalui buku, surat khabar dan kertas kerja seminar yang berkaitan dengan perjuangan beliau. Hasil kajian mendapati para pelajarnya terdedah dengan semangat kemerdekaan ini ekoran guru-guru reformis dari Indonesia yang terdedah dengan perjuangan menentang Belanda mengajar di Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff. Selain itu, hubungan baik Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir dengan Ibrahim Yaakub selaku penggerak Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM) dan Dr. Burhanuddin al-Helmy yang memimpin Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Muda (PKMM) menjadikan Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff sebagai markas politik menentang British sehingga tertubuhnya Parti Hizbul Muslimin di bawah pimpinan Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir. Kata kunci: Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff, Hizbul Muslimin, British, Kaum Muda, Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya (PKMM), Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM). This paper attempts to analyze the role played by Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir, a local reformist religious leader who consistently opposed the British until he was imprisoned by them in 1948. He established the Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff with the aim of modernizing the religious education system besides stoking the spirit of freedom among his students and the society around him. The objective of this study is to highlight the contributions of Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir as a religious leader as well as a freedom fighter who opposed British rule in Perak from around 1934 until 1957. This is a historiographical research which uses qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach. Two different sources of information are used for this study namely primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include documents and files from the Malaysian National Archives and official documents from the British Colonial office, besides interviewing family members as well as former students of Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir. On the other hand, secondary sources include books, newspapers and seminar report relating to his struggle. The findings of the study show that his students were exposed to the struggle for Independence through the direct influence of the reformist teachers from Indonesia who were teaching at the Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff. These teachers had already been involved in the fight against the Dutch colonialists in Indonesia. In addition to this, the close relationship of Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir with Ibrahim Yaakub, the primemover of Kesatuan Melayu Muda (KMM) and Dr. Burhanuddin al-Helmy, the leader of Parti Kebangsaan Melayu Muda (PKMM), projected Maahadal-Ehya Assyariff as the political front that opposed British rule until the founding of the Parti Hizbul Muslimin under the leadership of Ustaz Abu Bakar al-Baqir. Keywords: Maahad al-Ehya Assyariff, Hizbul Muslimin, British, Kaum Muda, Malay Nationalist Party (MNP), Young Malays Union.

Comorbidity Burden

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of both hospitalizations and readmissions in the United States, and about 1 in 5 hospitalized patients with COPD will be readmitted within 30 days. COPD-focused self-management programs are frequently used to help patients better manage their symptoms and prevent hospitalization. However, while the majority of patients with COPD have at least one comorbidity, most trials of COPD self-management programs either excluded patients with significant comorbidities or did not analyze the impact of comorbidities on patient outcomes. Using data from the BREATHE trial of a COPD self-management program, this study aims to determine if patient post-intervention outcomes differ based on the intensity and type of patient comorbidities. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In total, 240 patients hospitalized for COPD were randomly assigned to either a comprehensive self-management intervention or usual transitional care. Primary outcomes for this trial were the number of COPD-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits at 6 months and changes in COPD-specific quality of life. To determine whether patient comorbidities modify the effect of the self-management intervention on readmission and quality of life outcomes, we will compare patient outcomes across groups stratified by comorbidity burden (Charlson Comorbidity Index) and type (baseline diagnosis of congestive heart failure, diabetes, and depression). In addition, we will use regression analysis with interaction terms to test for interaction between comorbidity burden/type and intervention assignment. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that the effect of the self-management intervention will differ in patients with greater comorbidity burden due to competing medical demands for patients with multimorbidity. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The results of this study will help clinicians better target disease-specific self-management programs to the groups of patients with COPD who are likely to receive the greatest benefit from this type of intervention.

Introduction: The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) improves self-efficacy and health outcomes in people with chronic diseases. In the context of the EFFICHRONIC project, we evaluated the efficacy of CDSMP in relieving frailty, as assessed by the self-administered version of Multidimensional Prognostic Index (SELFY-MPI), identifying also potential predictors of better response over 6-month follow-up. Methods: The SELFY-MPI explores mobility, basal and instrumental activities of daily living (Barthel mobility, ADL, IADL), cognition (Test Your Memory-TYM Test), nutrition (Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form-MNA-SF), comorbidities, medications, and socio-economic conditions (social-familiar evaluation scale-SFES). Participants were stratified in three groups according to the 6-month change of SELFY-MPI: those who improved after CDSMP (Δ SELFY-MPI < 0), those who remained unchanged (Δ SELFY-MPI = 0), and those who worsened (Δ SELFY-MPI > 0). Multivariable logistic regression was modeled to identify predictors of SELFY-MPI improvement. Results: Among 270 participants (mean age = 61.45 years, range = 26–93 years; females = 78.1%) a benefit from CDSMP intervention, in terms of decrease in the SELFY-MPI score, was observed in 32.6% of subjects. SELFY-MPI improvement was found in participants with higher number of comorbidities (1–2 chronic diseases: adjusted odd ratio (aOR)=2.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.01, 5.58; ⩾ 3 chronic diseases: aOR = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.25, 8.90 vs no chronic disease), poorer cognitive performance (TYM ⩽ 42: aOR = 2.41, 95% CI = 1.12, 5.19 vs TYM > 42) or higher risk of malnutrition (MNA-SF ⩽ 11: aOR = 6.11, 95% CI = 3.15, 11.83 vs MNA-SF > 11). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the CDSMP intervention contributes to decreasing the self-perceived severity of frailty (SELFY-MPI score) in more vulnerable participants with several chronic diseases and lower cognitive performance and nutritional status.

Healthy Eating Behaviors

Unhealthy eating behaviors are one of the major causes of Coronary vascular disease (CVD). The self-management program combined with social support (CIP) was implemented to improve the patients’ self-management ability and maintain their eating behaviors to a healthier standard. The purpose of this study was to compare the scores of self-management and healthy eating behaviors of patients with CVD in the experimental CIP group before and after participation in the CIP. It also compared self-management and healthy eating behavior scores between patients with CVD who entered the CIP with the usual nursing care group. This study was a quasi-experimental approach with 2 groups of pre-and post-tests. The sample size of 50 cases, 25 in each group, was considered for the study. Questionnaires were used to assess the patient’s self-management and healthy eating behavior scores. Descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, and independent t-test were used for the data analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significantly (p < 0.05) increased average self-management (46.2 ± 5.6 to 51.1 ± 5.9) and healthy eating behaviors (39.3 ± 5.5 to 48.4 ± 4.0) scores after the program than before. They also had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher self-management and healthy eating behavior scores than the control group (51.1 ± 5.9 vs. 48.9 ± 6.0 and 48.4 ± 4.0 vs. 39.8 ± 7.5, respectively). This program increased the patients’ self-management scores, and consequentially their healthy eating behaviors score also improved.   Keywords: The self-management program, social support, Cardiovascular disease, self-management, healthy eating behaviors
