Patient empowerment refers to the process of enabling individuals to take control of their own health and healthcare decisions. This can involve providing patients with information, resources, and support to make informed choices about their health and treatment options. Empowered patients are actively involved in their own care, which can lead to improved health outcomes, increased patient satisfaction, and better adherence to treatment plans. Research in this area explores various strategies to empower patients, such as shared decision-making, health coaching, and patient education programs. The goal of patient empowerment is to help individuals become more engaged, confident, and informed participants in their healthcare journey.
