Patient Empowerment (PE) can be considered as an active and self-determining role of patient than a passive recipient of health related
services. It encourages the provider–patient relationship to blossom and helps in clearing patients’ doubts, confusion and fears to bring
in clarity, relief and assurance.
For the active involvement of the patient's in own health management they need to be awakened, motivated, educated and enlightened
to enable them to exercise their rights. Active patient involvement in the decision-making achieves favourable health outcome. In an
empowerment based approach, the focus is not on defining a particular type of behaviour, but on how the behaviour is defined as a goal
to be achieved by a particular individual. As a result of their empowerment process, the patients can better self-manage their illness and
their lives.
Thus empowerment of the patients will positively help medical uprising of the community by creating an educated, health aware,
informed and health conscious mass. |
