Patients with chronic diseases NCD are a big problem in in general medicine. Doctor-patient communication can become a non-specific therapy booster.
If we focus only on the treatment of the disease in patients with chronic diseases, on adjusting blood pressure, blood lipids, pain, etc., we will prescribe more and more drugs. This can often lead to increased chronicity.
In order to stimulate the patients' own activity and healthy self-regulation, it is useful to focus on his healthy development, attractive health goals and resources. We then ask more questions about his desires, ideals and needs and positive experiences and the abilities to shape his life, which includes dealing with his symptoms.
Those questions change our relationship towards acceptance and shared decision-making and responsibility - it becomes more cooperative. They encourage to develop more autonomy. This communication stimulates the patients psychophysical self-regulation, his self-responsible activity and empowered to more healthy shaping competence. As a result, the chance of staying healthy for a longer period of time is increased by up to 30%.
