Group-based interventions in health care have demonstrated a positive influence on patient outcomes by strengthening patient-healthcare professional relationships and providing an avenue for patient empowerment through shared experiences and belongingness. Groups have been shown to enhance social and psychological support, improve self-management behaviors, and encourage peer-support. However group settings also present challenges, such as discomforts in sharing within a group context and managing diverse group dynamics. We outline the efficacy and dynamics of group-based activities in health care settings. This includes key behavioral components of groups, such as creating a safe, supportive, and cohesive environment in group activities where confidentiality is paramount. By recognizing principles for group and moderator behaviors, individuals are more likely to maximize the potential of these interventions.
医疗保健中的基于群体的干预措施已通过加强患者与医护人员的关系,并为患者提供通过共同经历和归属感实现赋权的途径,对患者的治疗结果产生了积极影响。研究表明,群体能够增强社会和心理支持,改善自我管理行为,并鼓励同伴支持。然而,群体环境也带来了挑战,例如在群体环境中分享时的不适以及管理多样化的群体动态。我们概述了医疗保健环境中基于群体的活动的功效和动态。这包括群体的关键行为要素,例如在群体活动中营造一个安全、支持性和凝聚力强的环境,其中保密性至关重要。通过认识到群体和主持人行为的原则,个人更有可能最大限度地发挥这些干预措施的潜力。
