Framework of IBD Care Delivery Across Ages.

IBD care has gone through a real transformation over the last century, moving from the mere unidirectional interaction between the physician and the patient to a stronger framework with multiple stakeholders who interconnect and strengthen each other. The patient has evolved from a passive subject to the central pole in the care pathway. Key elements of the future framework include patient self-care and empowerment, and remote monitoring [eHealth]. This care will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team acknowledging the pivotal role of the IBD nurse, and emphasising and measuring the quality of its work. The big challenge for the future is to establish a financially viable model to make this evolution durable in the long term, and this by using the principles of value-based health care.

A BRIEF GLIMPSE UPON THE "PARADIGM SHIFT" REGARDING PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES - TALES OF CONSISTENCY

The article provides a detailed analysis of the paradigm shift introduced by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The CRPD, adopted in 2006, is recognized as a significant human rights treaty that reaffirms the universal concept of human dignity, applying it to all individuals, including those with mental disabilities. The convention emphasizes the need for legal frameworks to evolve, ensuring that persons with disabilities enjoy legal capacity on an equal basis with others. The historical context leading up to the CRPD is outlined, noting that earlier UN declarations and principles laid the groundwork by gradually recognizing rights of persons with disabilities. This development can be divided into three stages: the initial recognition of legal personality, the establishment of principles for mental health care, and finally, the CRPD's comprehensive approach to legal capacity. A key focus of the article is the controversy surrounding Article 12 of the CRPD, which grants persons with disabilities the right to legal capacity in all aspects of life. This provision challenges traditional systems of guardianship and substitute decision-making, which have historically been used to manage the affairs of individuals with mental disabilities. The article discusses the debates and misunderstandings among national legislators regarding the implementation of this "paradigm shift," particularly the move from substitute to supported decision-making. Overall, the article argues that the CRPD represents a culmination of decades of evolving legal principles aimed at ensuring equality and dignity for persons with disabilities. The author emphasizes the need for national laws to align with this new approach, ensuring that legal capacity is universally recognized, regardless of an individual's mental or physical condition.

Ethics in Primary Health Care: Responsibilities in Patient Care. Bibliographic review

Medical ethics is essential at the first level of care, where doctors must guarantee the autonomy of patients and equity in terms of health care, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Code of Medical Ethics of the World Medical Association (AMM) and the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador mention that ethical principles must be implemented and guaranteed in the Primary Health Care physician, the objective of this review is to describe the ethical and moral principles that form part of the doctor in Primary Health Care through reviews of updated bibliographies. It was described that the ethical and moral principles of Primary Health Care are benevolence, justice, wisdom and solidarity and within the main bases on which ethics is focused is the doctor-patient relationship that allows clarifying the correct action on health problems.

Revolutionizing Primary Healthcare in Africa: Empowering Youth through the Heckling Model of Health Systems Engineering and Innovation

This paper hypothesizes the Health Entrepreneurship Compensation of Knowledge and Innovations among the Next Generation (HECKLING) model, which aims to kickstart a dialogue and delve into research in utilizing the skills, innovation, and vast youth population in Africa to generate employment opportunities in complementing community health promoters/volunteers. By harnessing the potential of Artificial Intelligence, the model seeks to enhance health outcomes within communities. The model proposes integrating health systems engineering concepts into the virtual healthcare hubs and virtual digital tray centers aligning with the principles of primary health care, preventive medicine, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. It acknowledges operational efficiency, and ensures the long-term sustainability of community health initiatives which have potential to consummately compensate community health volunteers. By applying the concept of carbon credits to preventive and health promotion efforts, it is hoped that the model could create new opportunities to incentivize and reward individuals and organizations for their contributions to improving public health, reducing healthcare costs and promoting community development. Integrating health systems engineering concepts into the virtual healthcare hubs and virtual digital tray centers aligns with the principles of primary health care, preventive medicine, entrepreneurship, and sustainability.

Ethical Considerations for Acutely Injured and Future Burn Patients Who Smoke While on Home Oxygen Therapy.

Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is prescribed to patients with pulmonary dysfunction to improve survival and quality of life. However, ignition of oxygen can lead to burns with significant morbidity and mortality. Providers who routinely treat this patient population face an ethical issue: balancing the obligation to provide beneficial treatment to a patient with the responsibility to protect that patient from suffering avoidable burn injuries. A thorough review was conducted to assess the literature regarding ethical considerations involved in managing patients who have been burned while smoking on HOT and who continue to smoke. Various aspects of this problem and potential approaches to address it were analyzed with respect to 4 core ethical principles of health care: beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice. For patients who repeatedly present with burns acquired secondary to smoking while on oxygen, the authors consider it ethically unacceptable to withhold standard-of-care intervention for acute burns because refusal to treat acute burns conflicts with all 4 ethical principles. A preventive strategy would encourage a more judicious prescription of HOT, supporting the principles of nonmaleficence and beneficence. Additional preventive strategies include upstream solutions such as longitudinal patient education about smoking cessation and the risks of smoking on HOT. Physicians are tasked with the responsibility of both providing optimal care for this patient population and preventing future burn injuries. They may be able to address this challenging situation by thinking more critically about potential solutions while bearing in mind key ethical considerations and obligations.

Enhancing Primary Health Care through Interprofessional education: Insights from a Training Workshop.

Strengthening primary care services with a focus on comprehensive Primary Health Care principles necessitates collaborative work practices within interprofessional teams. In Italy, the Local Health District of Florence embodies a comprehensive Primary Health Care -inspired model of primary care, prominently featuring the House of Community concept. This work presents findings and insights from a multidisciplinary, interprofessional education activity tailored for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students actively participating in the primary care reorganization. The activity was structured using a four-phase learning model (imaginative, analytical, common sense, and dynamic), aligning with four distinct activities (brainstorming, lecture, case study, and group project). Key themes that emerged encompassed the significance of nurturing relationships among team members, the aspiration for an inclusive work environment, the vital role of community engagement and collaboration across various services, disciplines, and sectors beyond healthcare. These themes highlight the essential attributes of successful primary care practices built on the principles of comprehensive comprehensive Primary Health Care. Throughout the innovation process of primary care services, interprofessional education training events emerged as indispensable components for bolstering implementation and ensuring sustainability. This study underscores the crucial role of interprofessional education in bridging the gap between theoretical constructs and practical application, emphasizing that comprehensive Primary Healthcare principles find tangible manifestation in real-world scenarios.

Health Care for Youth With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: A Consensus Statement.

Individuals with a neurodevelopmental disability (NDD) face significant health care barriers, disparities in health outcomes, and high rates of foregone and adverse health care experiences. The Supporting Access for Everyone (SAFE) Initiative was developed to establish principles of health care to improve equity for youth with NDDs through an evidence-informed and consensus-derived process. With the Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Research Network, the SAFE cochairs convened a consensus panel composed of diverse professionals, caregivers, and adults with NDDs who contributed their varied expertise related to SAFE care delivery. A 2-day public forum (attended by consensus panel members) was convened where professionals, community advocates, and adults with NDDs and/or caregivers of individuals with NDDs presented research, clinical strategies, and personal experiences. After this, a 2-day consensus conference was held. Using nominal group technique, the panel derived a consensus statement (CS) on SAFE care, an NDD Health Care Bill of Rights, and Transition Considerations. Ten CSs across 5 topical domains were established: (1) training, (2) communication, (3) access and planning, (4) diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and anti-ableism, and (5) policy and structural change. Relevant and representative citations were added when available to support the derived statements. The final CS was approved by all consensus panel members and the Developmental Behavioral Pediatric Research Network steering committee. At the heart of this CS is an affirmation that all people are entitled to health care that is accessible, humane, and effective.

Early intervention in psychosis for first episode psychotic mania: the experience of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder

Background Early intervention for people diagnosed with bipolar disorder has been identified as a priority, but little is known about how existing early intervention services are experienced by this group or could be tailored to their needs. Aims This study examined the experience of early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services for people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, following first episode psychotic mania. Method Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 adults in EIP services and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results One superordinate theme was formed, Rebuilding within EIP service, consisting of five subthemes: (i) Piecing together episode through talking to staff; (ii) Exploring other perspectives during CBT; (iii) Empowered through shared decision-making; (iv) Reconsidering future and purpose; (v) Service as safety-net. EIP provision was pivotal in helping participants understand their episode, adjust their perspective, build confidence and progress. Conclusions Aspects of the service that were valued, including person-centred relationships with staff, shared decision-making and the development of motivation and opportunities, reflect key principles of mental health care for young people following first episode psychosis. Furthermore, findings point to elements that may be particularly relevant to early intervention following first episode psychotic mania including managing mood escalation and individualised approaches to goals.

The Relationship between Patient Safety Culture and The Level of Knowledge of Health Personnel with Compliance in Patient Identification Implementation in Hospital

The basic principle of health care in health institutions that continues to require quality improvement is patient safety. This study aims to analyze the relationship between patient safety culture and the level of knowledge of health workers with compliance with patient identification. This research is quantitative analytical with an observational approach. Data was collected on 70 respondents by observing patient identification compliance, patient safety culture questionnaires, and the level of knowledge of health workers regarding patient identification. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient analysis. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between patient safety culture and level of knowledge and compliance with patient identification (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The findings of this study provide insight into the importance of patient safety culture and the level of knowledge of health workers in increasing their compliance in carrying out patient identification, especially in hospitals. This study suggests that management and related health workers should actively participate in implementing patient safety programs, especially those involved in patient identification, to achieve optimal patient safety outcomes.

Thinking and Enacting the Patient Medical Home Under Pandemic Conditions: A Qualitative Study From Primary Care in Alberta, Canada.

The COVID-19 (C19) pandemic shocked primary care systems around the world. Those systems responded by supporting patients in the community, and acute care facilities in crisis. In Canada, the Patient Medical Home (PMH) is a widely adopted care model that aims to operationalize the tenets and principles of Primary Health Care (PHC) as developed since the Alma-Ata Declaration. This paper describes how personnel working in and with Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Alberta, Canada deployed the PMH model and its underlying PHC principles to frame and respond to the C19 shock. Using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, we interviewed 57 participants who worked in public health and primary care, including community-based family physicians. We used interpretive description to analyze the interviews. PCN staff and physicians described how the PMH model was foundational to normal operations, and how C19 responses were framed by the patient-centric, team-delivered, and continuous care principles the model shares with PHC. Specifically, participants described ensuring access to care, addressing the social determinants of health, being patient centered, and redeploying and expanding PHC teams to accomplish these goals. Delivering PHC through the PMH allowed physicians and allied health staff to deliver patient-centered, team-based, holistic bio-medical services to Albertans. In tailoring services to meet the specific social and health needs of the populations served by each PCN, healthcare providers were able to ensure relevant support remained available and accessible.

European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) Consensus Statement on Outcome Measures in Liver Transplantation According to Value-Based Health Care.

Liver transplantation is a highly complex, life-saving, treatment for many patients with advanced liver disease. Liver transplantation requires multidisciplinary teams, system-wide adaptations and significant investment, as well as being an expensive treatment. Several metrics have been proposed to monitor processes and outcomes, however these lack patient focus and do not capture all aspects of the process. Most of the reported outcomes do not capture those outcomes that matter to the patients. Adopting the principles of Value-Based Health Care (VBHC), may provide an opportunity to develop those metrics that matter to patients. In this article, we present a Consensus Statement on Outcome Measures in Liver Transplantation following the principles of VBHC, developed by a dedicated panel of experts under the auspices of the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) Guidelines' Taskforce. The overarching goal is to provide a framework to facilitate the development of outcome measures as an initial step to apply the VMC paradigm to liver transplantation.

Comparing the World Psychiatric Association and European Psychiatric Association Codes of Ethics: Discrepancies and shared grounds.

Codes of ethics provide guidance to address ethical challenges encountered in clinical practice. The harmonization of global, regional, and national codes of ethics is important to avoid gaps and discrepancies. We compare the European Psychiatric Association (EPA) and the World Psychiatric Association (WPA) Codes of Ethics, addressing main key points, similarities, and divergences. The WPA and EPA codes are inspired by similar fundamental values but do show a few differences. The two codes have a different structure. The WPA code includes 4 sections and lists 5 overarching principles as the basis of psychiatrists' clinical practice; the EPA code is articulated in 8 sections, lists 4 ethical principles, and several fundamental values. The EPA code does not include a section on psychiatrists' education and does not contain specific references to domestic violence and death penalty. Differences can be found in how the two codes address the principle of equity: the EPA code explicitly refers to the principle of universal health care, while the WPA code mentions the principle of equity as reflected in the promotion of distributive justice. We recommend that both WPA and EPA periodically update their ethical codes to minimize differences, eliminate gaps, and help member societies to develop or revise national codes in line with the principles of the associations they belong to.Minimizing differences between national and international codes and fostering a continuous dialogue on ethical issues will provide guidance for psychiatrists and will raise awareness of the importance of ethics in our profession.

Art as a path to public health: to the 320-year anniversary of St. Petersburg (on the example of the author’s project)

Introduction. The article examines the important role of art and culture in ensuring public health. In particular, this method of informing the population seems to be the most digestible and memorable. In other words, a multidisciplinary approach can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health care organization methods in terms of raising public awareness.Target: raising public awareness of aspects of primary and secondary prevention (exemplified by ophthalmic pathology) through the collaboration of health organization with art and culture.Methods. In the course of the work, methods of theoretical generalization, analysis of scientific literature, photographing, adapted image editing, compilation and distribution of sanitary pools, conducting a conversation with the population, and questionnaires were applied.Results. Within the framework of the project «Jubilee Sanbulleti. 320 St. Petersburg «developed original sanitation, combining not only hygiene and prevention, but also aspects of culture and art. A high role in public health of approaches such as collaboration (collaboration) and interdisciplinary is noted.Conclusion. The fundamental approaches of this project make it possible to integrate the foundations of primary and secondary prevention into almost all aspects of our activities, and such implementation is carried out evenly, without obsession. This property of the project correlates with the basic principles of modern health care – preventive and participative.

Addressing Stigma by Increasing Empathy Toward Vulnerable Populations in Preprofessional Trainees: Impacts of the Generation Tomorrow Summer Health Disparities Scholars Program.

Creating empathetic health care professionals is critical to addressing the health equity challenges of today, particularly because it relates to vulnerable populations. To assess the impact of the Johns Hopkins Center for AIDS Research Generation Tomorrow Summer Health Disparities Scholars (GTSHDS) program on students' empathy toward individuals living with substance use disorder and differential impact on empathy related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Attitudes towards Mental Illness Questionnaire (AMIQ), an assessment of stigmatizing attitudes, was administered. Preprogram and postprogram participation AMIQ survey data were compared using paired t tests to explore changes within the program year. Unpaired t tests were used to characterize differences between the mean scores across the 2 student cohorts. Both GTSHDS cohorts displayed postprogram increase in empathy. Mean 2019 cohort AMIQ scores shifting from -1.4 (SD 2.01) to -0.8 (SD 2.35) (P = 0.54), and the 2022 cohort shifting from -3.67 (SD 2.01) to -3 (SD 1.61) (P = 0.79). On average, individual scores improved by 2.2 (SD 1.65) points in the 2019 cohort and 2.4 (SD 1.86) points in the 2022 cohort (P = 0.83). Although these were not statistically significant, they suggested a trend toward more empathy. Preliminary data suggest that programs such as GTSHDS that expose students to various aspects of health care principles can prepare future health care professionals in a manner that may reduce health care disparities. Future research with larger population sizes is needed to understand the impacts of the curriculum on empathy and related concepts to achieving health equity.

Evaluation of the patient safety situation in Abuzar Teaching Hospital of Ahvaz based on patient safety friendly standards in 1401

Introduction: Patient safety is a fundamental principle in health care. Patient safety friendly standards are a set of requirements that are critical to the implementation of a hospital-wide patient safety program. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the patient safety situation in Ahvaz Abuzar Hospital based on patient safety friendly standards.
 Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 1401 on 30 employees related to patient safety with a non-random and purpose-based sampling method. The required data were collected by the first two axes of the World Health Organization's patient safety friendly standards checklist, including governance and leadership - gaining participation and interaction with the patient and society, using observation, interview and hospital documentation techniques. The data was analyzed using statistical tests (mean and standard deviation) of SPSS26 software and scored on a three-point Likert scale.
 Results: The level of compliance of the hospital with the first two axes of patient safety friendly standards (64 standards in total) was evaluated at a good level with an average of 80/4%. Mandatory and basic standards were at a good level and advanced standards were at an average level. The group of attracting participation and interacting with the patient and society with an average of 82/7% had more compliance than the governance and leadership group with an average of 78/09%.
 Conclusion: The condition of Abuzar Hospital was evaluated at a good level in terms of compliance with patient safety-friendly standards. It is better to consider the level of compliance with basic and advanced standards in future researches.

The understanding of epidemiology and study designs

The goal of health care systems is to keep patients healthy by monitoring, diagnosing, and treating their illnesses. These complex systems have many objectives, such as improving the quality of health care, making healthcare accessible to all people who are in need, extending people’s life span, preventing illnesses, etc. Promoting healthy lifestyles along with the prevention of illnesses to improve people’s health is also a fundamental principle of public health, and now it also become a fundamental principle of modern health care and integrating into health and social care strategies across the world. Epidemiology is the system of ultimate reasoning focused on creating and examining theories in systematic fields such as biology, physics, and behavioral sciences while rationalizing health-associated states and events so that justification for further suitable real-world public health measures can be provided. While working in the field, I observed that allied healthcare professionals lacked basic knowledge about epidemiology and related study designs. The input from this healthcare professional not only assists in building meaningful research studies but also demonstrates its powerful impact on patients’ healthcare through preventive measures and study results. The goal of this article is to provide basic knowledge of epidemiology and its various study designs in a simplistic language to allied healthcare professionals working in the field. In this article, I have described a general overview of epidemiology and various study designs, along with examples. I hope this information could be beneficial for a better understanding of epidemiology to healthcare professionals working in the field.

DEVELOPMENT OF PATIENT-CENTRED HEALTH CARE APPROACH IN THE NURSES’ AND DOCTOR ASSISSTANTS’ EDUCATION

Nowadays the development of health care system focuses on high quality, effective and safe health services which satisfy patients and clients’ needs. Pacient-centred health care approach and strategies are important factors to improve medical care process and results. Nurses and doctor assistants’ education practises should be based on personalised health care approach and principles. The aim of the article is to identify pacient-centred health care components and ways, how to implement them in nurses and doctor’s assisstants education in order to improve knowledge, skills, competences and attitudes for future work in multi-disciplinary team and multi-cultural environment. The study is based on theoretical and methodological analyses of the concepts and education documents. The results: the deeper understanding of the pacient-centred approach and principles, more detailed complex of skills, competences and attitudes appropriate to urgent health care problems and more competent medical worker in the individualized health care system.

Dental Health Services Victoria value-based health care principles for oral health models of care.

Efforts to progress oral healthcare reform can be challenging with competing interests of governments and service providers to achieve the intended outcomes. The value-based health care approach has been adopted in many areas of healthcare but has had limited applications to oral healthcare systems. Dental Health Services Victoria, an Australian state government funded entity, commenced its journey to value-based health care in 2016, to shift away from traditional dental service models that reward activity and volume towards a stronger emphasis on value and outcomes. To maintain the value-based health care agenda focus, Dental Health Services Victoria developed three key principles, which can be adopted by other organisations engaged in reforming oral healthcare, to improve the oral health for the population it serves. In 2018, Dental Health Services Victoria developed a value-based health care framework, which has informed strategic organisation priorities for action. In 2023, the following three key principles are identified as being essential to support the operationalisation and development of effective models of oral healthcare: Principle 1 - Care is co-designed with the person or population Principle 2 - Prevention and early intervention are prioritised. Principle 3 - Consistent measurement of health outcomes and costs are embedded. The exploration of the three key principles is an important communication tool to translate value-based health care into practice with key stakeholders. Further work is required to socialise them to within dental teams. Organisations looking to commence the value-based health care agenda can apply Dental Health Services Victoria's three key principles as a first step.

BT08 Mapping UK frameworks for ethical artificial intelligence applied to dermatology

Abstract There is significant enthusiasm to apply artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology with an emphasis on image-based analyses for risk assessment of suspicious skin lesions. However, the rapid development and deployment of such AI tools raises concerns that ethical issues arising from their widespread, long-term use may not have been adequately considered during design or implementation. Dermatology, in particular, has been identified as lacking sufficient bioethics research that could standardize the approach to regulating AI-assisted applications. Despite significant efforts to develop robust guidelines for ‘ethical AI’ across private, national and international organizations, debate continues surrounding which ethical principles should be included. The 2022 National AI Strategy positions the UK as leading global efforts toward achieving safe and ethical deployment of AI. We sought to systematically review and analyse policy documents to map UK principles for promoting ethical AI as applied to dermatology. Our review identified five UK policy documents relevant to ethical AI published between 2016 and 2022. All included frameworks highlighted the importance of upholding transparency and fairness along the entire lifecycle of AI development and decision-making. The five frameworks also incorporated autonomy through reference to maintaining informed consent, data privacy and human contestability of AI decisions. The principles of accountability and nonmaleficence were each identified in four policy documents, emphasizing the needs for clear definitions of legal and organizational responsibility and for thorough testing of AI tools to avoid unintended/unwanted outcomes. The principles of beneficence (designing AI to promote good on both individual and societal levels) and sustainability (continually monitoring and adjusting AI tools for longevity and efficacy) were each included in two policy documents. Current UK policy frameworks for ethical AI converge around five key values: fairness, transparency, autonomy, nonmaleficence and accountability. The principles of beneficence and sustainability were advanced, although less frequently highlighted. Despite a reassuring level of convergence across policy documents, the practical implementation of these ethical principles in health care and particularly for skin-specific AI tools remains unclear. Furthermore, evidence of real-world integration of these ethical frameworks into developing AI-based skin cancer diagnostic tools is lacking. Future work seeks to address this gap by analysing commercially available skin cancer diagnostic applications using predefined ethical themes to identify case-specific ethical issues and to evaluate the extent to which these issues are addressed within the existing ethical frameworks. This will provide guidance for developers and adopters of these tools, ensuring responsible design and deployment.

Perceived compassionate care and associated factors among patients with mental illness at Tibebe Ghion specialized and Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

BackgroundCompassion is the first ethical principle of health care to provide high- quality care that influences patient satisfaction and treatment outcome. However, there is limited data on the level of compassionate mental health care practice in low-resource countries like Ethiopia.ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the level of perceived compassionate care and associated factors among patients with mental illness at Tibebe Ghion specialized and Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospital, North West, Ethiopia, 2022.MethodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from June 18 to July 16, 2022, at Tibebe Ghion Specialized and Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. A systematic random sampling technique was used. The level of perceived compassionate care was assessed by the validated 12-item Schwartz Center Compassionate Care Scale among 423 patients with mental illness. Epicollect-5 was used to collect data, which was then exported to the Statistical Product and Service solution version 25 for analysis. Variables with a P-value < 0.05, and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to declare significant variables at the multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultThe level of perceived good compassionate care was 47.5% (95% CI 42.6%-52.4%). Factors including urban residence (AOR = 1.90; 95%CI 1.08–3.36), duration of illness < 24 months (AOR = 2.68; 95% CI 1.27–5.65), strong social support (AOR = 4.43; 95%CI 2.16–9.10), shared decision making (AOR = 3.93; 95% CI 2.27–6.81), low perceived stigma(AOR = 2.97; 95% CI 1.54–5.72) and low patient anticipated stigma (AOR = 2.92; 95% CI 1.56–5.48) were positively associated with good compassionate care.Conclusion and recommendationLess than half of the patients had received good compassionate care. Compassionate mental health care needs public health attention. Policymakers should emphasize on compassionate care continuity by including it in the health care curriculum and design appropriate policies to strengthen compassionate care.
