Dignity in Care

Dignity in Care is a fundamental principle in healthcare that emphasizes maintaining a patient's sense of self-worth, autonomy, and respect throughout all aspects of their care. Coursera's Dignity in Care catalogue teaches you how to ensure patients feel valued, respected, and involved in their care decisions, regardless of their condition or level of dependency. You'll learn to address patients by their preferred name, explain procedures before performing them, ensure privacy during personal care, and maintain modesty through proper draping techniques. This skill empowers healthcare professionals to deliver patient-centered care that promotes independence, fosters self-esteem, and reduces feelings of vulnerability and helplessness, ultimately improving patient outcomes and satisfaction in various healthcare settings.
