Acronym
PeDeSI

Description
The Person-Centered Dermatology Self-care Index (PeDeSI) was developed by Cowdell et al in 2012. It consists of 10 questions that assess patient knowledge about the disease and treatments (adverse effects, onset of effectiveness, repeat prescriptions, when to seek help, application of topical treatments) and confidence using treatments alone at home. The patients respond to each question with a score from 0 to 3, where 0 represents “no ability to do the task” and 3 represents “full ability to do the task.” This generates a score ranging from 0 to 30. Scores 0 to 10, 11 to 20, 21 to 29, and 30 are interpreted as the patient requires intensive, some, limited, or no education and support, respectively. Based on the response of the patient and the total score, the physician or pharmacist can (1) determine the abilities that the patient needs to work on, (2) identify topics that should be discussed with the patient, and (3) develop an action plan to meet identified education and support needs.
