With the shift in healthcare from a disease-centered model to a patient-centered approach, the importance of actively involving patients in managing their own health has become increasingly evident. The World Health Organization has emphasized patients’responsibility for their personal health. Numerous studies have demonstrated that patients who actively engage in their healthcare experience better outcomes, incur fewer unnecessary healthcare costs, and contribute to improved patient safety. Accordingly, this article employs Walker and Avant’s (2019) concept analysis method to conduct an indepth exploration of the concept of patient engagement. By integrating relevant literature, this analysis clarifies the defining attributes of patient engagement through the development of model, borderline, related, and contrary cases; identifies reliable and valid assessment tools; and examines empirical evidence to determine the antecedents and consequences of patient engagement. The findings of this analysis are intended to enhance nurses’understanding of the concept and support its application in guiding clinical practice, particularly in promoting patient self-care. |
