Patient Engagement

Patient Engagement is a cornerstone of patient-centered care and a vital topic for Zambian tertiary health students. It involves actively involving patients in their own care through education, shared decision-making, and self-management support. Students explore strategies to foster engagement in Zambian communities, considering literacy levels and cultural contexts. This knowledge is crucial for exams and for improving health outcomes, as engaged patients are more likely to adhere to treatment, adopt healthy behaviors, and experience better health. Future health leaders must design services and communication strategies that empower patients as partners in their healthcare journey.
