Patients with chronic illness who are empowered and activated are more likely to engage in self-management in order to stabilise their condition and enhance their quality of life. This study aimed to explore Health Care Professional's (HCP) assessment of a person-centered intervention called 'The Bodyknowledging Program' (BKP) for the facilitation of empowerment and patient activation in the context of chronic illness.
This study employed a qualitative process evaluation after programme completion. Data was collected through focus-groups and individual interviews with HCPs and content analysis was used in the analysis.
Four themes were identified: 1) Shifts towards the patient-perspective, 2) The value of a patient-centered conceptual framework, 3) Patient activation through dialogue based support and 4) Challenging competencies. Discussion: This study introduces 'The Bodyknowledging Program' as a useful tool to uncover patients' needs and to activate and empower them to take more responsibility for their health through self-care management. The usability of the new intervention depends on HCP's ability to develop their counselling skills and changing their approach towards utilising patients' individual resources in the promotion of their health.
有能力且积极主动的慢性病患者更有可能进行自我管理，以稳定病情并提高生活质量。本研究旨在探讨医疗保健专业人员（HCP）对一种名为“身体认知计划”（BKP）的以患者为中心的干预措施的评估，该干预措施旨在促进慢性病患者的赋权和患者激活。
在项目完成后，采用定性过程评估。通过焦点小组和与 HCP 的个别访谈收集数据，并在分析中使用内容分析。
确定了四个主题：1）向患者视角转变，2）以患者为中心的概念框架的价值，3）通过基于对话的支持实现患者激活，4）挑战能力。讨论：本研究介绍了“身体认知计划”，它是一种有用的工具，可以发现患者的需求，并通过自我保健管理激活和赋权他们，让他们对自己的健康负责更多。新干预措施的可用性取决于 HCP 发展咨询技能的能力以及改变他们利用患者个体资源促进健康的方法。
