Nurturing Patient Well-Being: A Holistic Approach to Healthcare

Shrujna Ambani

Patient well-being has emerged as a critical aspect of modern healthcare, transcending traditional medical paradigms to encompass holistic health and quality of life. This abstract explores the multifaceted dimensions of patient well-being, its determinants, interventions, challenges, and transformative impact on healthcare. Recognizing that well-being extends beyond physical health, this article emphasizes the importance of a patient-centred approach that addresses physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects. It examines the determinants that shape well-being, including access to healthcare, social support, lifestyle choices, and cultural influences. The interventions and strategies employed to enhance patient well-being range from preventive care and evidence-based treatments to psychotherapy and the creation of inclusive healthcare environments. Challenges related to resource constraints and ethical considerations are also discussed. Ultimately, the integration of patient well-being into healthcare practices fosters trust, communication, and empowerment, contributing to improved patient outcomes and a more comprehensive approach to healing.
