June 4, 2024 updated by: Lille Catholic University

Effects of the Humanitude® Care Methodology on Improving Health Professionals' Perception of Competence and Emotional State

Healthcare professionals providing care for institutionalized older patients must deal with agitated behavior daily. Such behavior alters the patient's quality of life and generates stress for the caregiver. Humanitude® Care Methodology is an alternative to pharmaceutical approaches that has demonstrated benefits on care delivery. The present study aims to investigate the effects of this method on healthcare professionals' perception of competence and emotional state when dealing with difficult care situations.
