The Open Public Health Journal 19 Aug 2024 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW DOI: 10.2174/0118749445333873240730040519

Abstract

Introduction

This article examines the current state of Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) in Morocco through a systematic literature review. With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases in the country, TPE is pivotal in aiding patients to manage their conditions and treatments, thus enhancing their quality of life. Despite the efforts of Moroccan authorities to promote TPE, its utilization remains largely constrained, partly due to the lack of structured programs and accessible data.

Objective

In this manuscript, we explore the current state of existing TPE, focusing on various therapeutic education interventions for patients in Morocco. This study aims to enhance public health policies and practices in Morocco by exploring existing TPE interventions.

Results

The systematic review analyzed 11 studies from 2010 to 2024. Recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other relevant bodies could facilitate the integration of TPE into healthcare systems. However, challenges persist, including region-specific obstacles in Morocco and the need for enhanced training of healthcare professionals.

Conclusion

This systematic review underscores the importance of investing in TPE and offers insights into research, clinical practice, and health policies in Morocco. Despite its potential, sustained attention and further efforts are necessary to ensure the comprehensive integration of TPE into Moroccan healthcare settings.
