| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
The Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI) is a validated consultation outcome measure that was developed for use in primary care. It has been suggested as a means of examining various aspects of a clinical consultation regarding the impact on a patient’s self-perceived ability to understand and cope with health issues and disease. |
| Number of Items | The original PEI consists of six questions intended to reflect patient enablement. |
| Range | 0-12 |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Not specified |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
The 6 questions need to be added. The answers are graded on a three-point scale – “same or less” or “not applicable” (0), “better/more” (1), and “much better/much more” (2). Thus, the total score is between 0 and 12. |
| Score Interpretation | A higher score indicates higher enablement. |
| Cut-off points | --- |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Easy to use, Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | --- |
