By compiling existing medical practices, this study summarized its findings into the following three points: First, patients should be guided to establish a healthy lifestyle, thereby accelerating their recovery and preventing disease recurrences. Second, patients should take initiative in their disease treatment and prevention. Their proactive attitude and conduct will enhance the treatment outcomes. Third, guidance should be provided to patients’ family or their caregivers regarding disease treatment or routine care, thereby improving the quality of care received by the patient. Based on the aforementioned findings, we propose two suggestions. First, patients should adopt a more active attitude toward self-care. Second, patients’ family or caregivers should be guided to assist them in caring for the patients. The aforesaid suggestions may be included in shared decision-making pamphlets for the timely notification of patient conditions, provision of relevant guidance to patients and their caregivers, and reinforce the quality of the holistic health care received by patients.</p> <p> </p>
