美国患者健康教育及其对我国的启示

Patients' Health Education in America and the Enlightenment to China

患者健康教育可以给病人及其家属带来好处:可提高病人到医院就医的依从性,还可促进医患沟通以防止医疗纠纷的产生。在借鉴美国患者健康教育制度的基础上,我国应从建立专门的患者健康教育科室、培育高素质的患者健康教育专职团队、采取多样化的患者健康教育形式和构建患者健康教育评价体系四个方面改善我国的患者健康教育制度。

The health education of patients may bring benefits to the patients and their family members, improve the patients# adherence to the hospital for medical treatment, and promote the generation of doctor-patient communication in order to prevent medical disputes. With reference to the system of health education for patients in the United States, we should improve the patients health education system in our country from the following four aspects：establishing special patients health education department, fostering high quality professional team of health education for patients, adopting various forms of health education for patients, and building the patients health education evaluation system.
