Brief Summary: There is no known interventional clinical trial evidence for existing support and the reintegration strategy of a peer visitation program following amputation The Amputee Coalition Peer Visitation Program is the only national and VA recognized program for amputees however it has not been rigorously tested for effectiveness Therefore the objective of this study is to demonstrate the Amputee Coalition Peer Visitation Program AC PVP will improve functional outcomes for Service Members Veterans and civilians during amputation rehabilitation
Detailed Description: In the fields of medicine and public health management navigation and peer visitation programs consider patients as are their own important resources who should be actively involved in the health care organization and throughout the process of care delivery and rehabilitation The importance of promoting a more active role of patients in the management of their own health care is recognized by health care experts managers and policy makers Programs that engage patients in their own health care are reported as an important strategy to improve adherence outcomes satisfaction toward the health care provider and reduction of health care costs The emotional adjustment to an amputation is sometimes the most challenging part Peer visitation allows the patient to speak directly with another amputee who has shared a similar experience allowing them to relate feelings and concerns about the loss of a limb to someone who has already endured the process and lives with the condition daily

There is increasing national and international interest in patient education programs The ultimate anticipated outcome for individuals attending these programs is improvement in quality of life Patient empowerment self-efficacy and self-management have also been found to be key intermediate outcomes of acute amputation rehabilitation but have been somewhat difficult to operationalize measure and subsequently report in terms of patient impact There is no known interventional clinical trial evidence for existing support and the reintegration strategy of a peer visitation program following amputation

The Amputee Coalition Peer Visitation Program is the only national and VA recognized program for amputees however it has not been rigorously tested for effectiveness Therefore the objective of this study is to demonstrate the Amputee Coalition Peer Visitation Program AC PVP will improve functional outcomes for Service Members Veterans and civilians during amputation rehabilitation
