Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE)

Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) is a collaborative process designed to help individuals manage their health conditions more effectively. It involves healthcare professionals teaching patients about their illness, treatment options, and self-care strategies, empowering them to make informed decisions. TPE goes beyond simple instructions, focusing on enhancing skills, confidence, and motivation to improve health outcomes and quality of life. It recognizes the patient as an active participant in their care, promoting understanding and self-management to better handle chronic or long-term conditions.
