Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2015 Jan-Feb;19(1):168-70. doi: 10.4103/2230-8210.146876.

Abstract

In recent years, the need for person-centered patient education has become evident. To translate this approach into practice, new theoretically and empirically sound methods and models are required. This brief communication introduces a newly developed toolkit that has shown promise in facilitating person-centered education and active involvement of patients. Two health education models constituting the underlying basis for the toolkit are also presented.
