Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To propose a model for patient involvement in self-care in the hospital environment from the perspective of patients and professionals. Method: A qualitative study based on Convergent Care Research. Eight interviews were conducted with older adult patients and with nine professionals who provided care to participating patients in a clinical-surgical hospitalization unit from November 2021 to May 2022. Data analysis followed the apprehension, synthesis, theorization and transfer steps. Results: Three categories emerged which anchored the development of the hospital model for patient involvement in self-care: Communication: the fundamental element for patient involvement; Partnership between patient and multidisciplinary team: the path to patient involvement; and Organizational aspects for patient involvement in their care: the perspective of the multidisciplinary team. The study provided a space for dialogue with the multidisciplinary team to incorporate the model into the care process. Conclusion: The model contemplates clear and effective communication influenced by intrinsic patient issues and the health education process, supported by organizational aspects inherent to the hospital service.
