Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting approximately one in ten women of reproductive age. In cases of chronic pain associated with impaired quality of life, a multidisciplinary and integrative approach is recommended. In this context, a therapeutic patient education (TPE) program specifically dedicated to endometriosis was implemented in 2016. This article aims to describe the development and evolution of this program, as well as its evaluation by patients and participating healthcare professionals. METHOD: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted to present the program's progression over eight years of practice. Patient evaluations were collected at the end of each workshop and during final assessment session. RESULTS: Therapeutic education appears to be a relevant tool for healthcare professionals, promoting better understanding and acceptance of the disease by patients, and improving treatment adherence. Patients gave the program an overall rating of 8 out of 10. CONCLUSION: This TPE program represents a beneficial approach for both patients and caregivers, with a potential positive impact on the quality of life of individuals affected by endometriosis.
