| Annotation | The authors argue that effective self care requires fundamental changes in professional attitudes and the way health care is delivered. Current interventions have only modest effects on patients' health and use of health services. One possible explanation is that interventions tend to focus solely on the patient. Interventions need to reflect the ways in which patients and professionals respond to long-term illness. Approaches need to target patients, professionals and healthcare organisations. (RH). |
