Abstract:
In an effort to improve the quality of life of people with chronic diseases, care practices have been enriched by therapeutic patient education (TPE). This aims at the acquisition of plural knowledge and skills by patients, which promotes optimal management of the disease on a daily basis and of the resulting changes, limiting their negative repercussions on their autonomy and well-being. The subject is placed at the heart of the system, in a position of decision and responsibility, and collaborates actively with the various healthcare stakeholders. TPE therefore involves taking into account the patient's psychological dimension, using psychology and fundamental concepts for its implementation.
