about patients
Each patient carries their own doctor inside
themselves. They come to us not knowing that truth.
We are at our best when we give the doctor that
resides within each patient a chance to go to work

Intuitive Healer' by Marcia Emery and published in 1999 by
Thorsons in the UK

Self management
• Patients with chronic conditions make day-today decisions about—self-manage—their
illnesses.
• This reality introduces a new chronic disease
paradigm: the patient-professional
partnership, involving collaborative care and
self-management education
Self management
• Corbin and Strauss (1988) define the
necessary self-management knowledge and
skills as the work necessitated by chronic
illness.
• They describe three types of work:
– (I) the work to care for the disease, such as taking medications, visiting
physicians, exercising or maintaining a special diet;
– (2) the work to maintain one's normal life, including doing chores,
maintaining social contacts and hobbies; and
– (3) the emotional work required by an individual to deal with feelings
like loss of control, bereavement of self
Person centred care
Personhood ‘a standing or a status that is
bestowed by one human being on others in the
context of relationship and social being. It
implies recognition and trust’

Self efficacy refers to an individual’s
belief or feeling of confidence that
they can perform a desired action
Low self management scores are associated with
young age, those in education or employment,
those living with others and recent seizures

Shared Decision Making
Decisions made by the individual based on
information and guidance from doctors and
nurses and support from family and friends
using the self mx paradigm
• Not decisions shared between 1ry and 2ry care
• Not decisions shared between professionals
Shared decision making
•
•
•
•
lots of sources of information
lots of different advice
how we make sense of the situation
making sure the decisions we take are sensible
Taking the Tablets
• Medicines non-adherence
– What is it?
– Is it common?
– Will it upset your doctor?
– The balance of necessities and concerns
NON-ADHERENCE
Intentional
Unintentional
Poor recall

As non-adherent behaviour is common and dynamic, it should not
be viewed as a ‘binary’ phenomenon: either adherent or non-adherent.
A checklist should be utilized at every clinical review to raise the issue of
how patients take their tablets.
Clinicians should ensure an accurate record of prescription ordering so
that the MPR can also be assessed.
