I agree that adopting the Person-Centered Care (PPC) model and a holistic approach is crucial for patients with uncontrolled chronic conditions. By exploring the patient’s narrative, including their emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, we can create a collaborative care plan that aligns with their personal goals. Cultural barriers like kapwa and hiya is vital for building trust and encouraging openness. It's also important to remember that patients are more than just their illness—they are connected to families and communities, and true healing comes from treating them as whole individuals.
