EMPOWERING PEOPLE TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES
Empowerment is a concept that has recently emerged in the health scene. It embraces the idea that everyone has the right to make their own choices about their health care. The empowerment model is based on the assumption that to be truly healthy, people must bring about changes not only in their personal behavior but also in their social situations and in the environment that influences their lives. This empowerment model has evolved out of the realization that patients/person cannot be forced to follow a lifestyle dictated by others

Thousands of other health citizens throughout the world, who clustered into six group based on similar attitudes, behaviors, and demographics. The six segments are:

Health Actionists, the most highly health-engaged group who not only pay attention to their own health, but are health-influencers over other people in their lives

Health Traditionalists, who engage with the health system in Old School ways

Health On-Demanders, who quickly engage with health care when they’re diagnosed

Health Disempowereds, who have chronic conditions but are confused by much of the health information they confront and generally stressed

Health Neophytes, who tend to be younger and uninvolved with the health system

Health Apathetics, who are the least likely to take care of themselves and share opinions about health with others.

HIGHLIGHTS OF EMPOWERMENT OF A PERSON:
  Health, as Attitude, can be defined as being successful in coping with pain, sickness, and death as a Normal Vicissitude of Life.  And, successful coping requires always being in control of your life.
  Health belongs to the individual. And, the individual has the prime responsibility for their own health.
  The individual's capacity for growth and self-determination is paramount.
  Health care professionals cannot empower people; only people can empower themselves.
