Patient-Health Care Interaction in Care Plan and its Associated Factors in Public Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study
(Addis Ababa University, 2024-06-13) Tigist Mesfin; Anteneh Belete (PhD)
Chronic diseases, also known as Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), account for 71% of deaths globally with the majority occurring in Low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). More than one-third of all deaths in Ethiopia are due to NCDs. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), better clinical outcome of NCDs was strategized to be achieved through engaging and empowering individuals in their care, i.e., activating patients to have the necessary knowledge, skill, and willingness to self-manage, and promoting healthy behavior through different interventions. The health care approach in the in-patient setup creates an intimidating environment for patients to have an effective patient-health care interaction.
