Outcomes included perceived confusion about care, conflicting advice from different providers, care satisfaction, and person-centered care. All multivariable regression models controlled for sociodemographic and health factors.ResultsParticipants with informal CCs or both informal and professional CCs were more likely to report a lower quality of healthcare compared to participants without any CCs. Among participants who have professional CCs, having more helpful professional CCs was associated with higher quality care and more patient-centered care.ConclusionsFindings suggest that quality of healthcare may depend on the type of CCs involved and their perceived helpfulness.
