Seguridad del Paciente - Patient Safety

Recientemente, la Comisión Europea ha publicado los resultados de la encuesta del Eurobarómetro cualitativo sobre la participación de los pacientes en la asistencia sanitaria, que recoge la opinión de pacientes, médicos y enfermeras en 15 de los 27 Estados Miembros de la Unión Europea. El estudio demuestra que el concepto de participación no está claramente definido y que la tradicional relación médico-paciente sigue siendo la más habitual.

Abstract:

"What do patients and healthcare professionals think about an active role of patients in their healthcare? In a qualitative Eurobarometer study, we collected opinions of doctors and patients on patient involvement in healthcare. In depth interviews were held with practitioners, nurses and patients in 15 Member States to learn about what they experience in their clinical practice. It shows that patient involvement in healthcare is not a sharply defined concept and that the traditional patient-doctors relationship is still the most common."
