Role of the defender
Nightingale laid the foundations of patient advocacy by continuously insisting on the
quality of care, which includes a safe and clean environment and human rights
basics for everyone. We review the role of nurses, despite their long
trajectory, the role of nurses as advocates for patients is not well
understood. While patient advocacy extends to the social system more
broadly, this article focuses on the defense responsibility of nurses when it comes to
to provide direct care through hospital and care organizations
domestic or self-employed advocates who work as private patient defenders.
The defenders look after the rights and interests of patients and guarantee the
security for those who cannot defend themselves. The defenders ensure respect
for the autonomy and self-determination of patients, acting as a link between the
patients and the healthcare system; and also contribute to the decision-making process
of patients and families and speak loudly and clearly when problems arise
unnoticed, or when patients or their families cannot or will not
remedy them.
The defense process has four phases:
The first is the needs assessment, which focuses on the patient, in the
situation, within the framework, in the risks and in the available health resources. It is
fundamental to establish therapeutic relationships with patients to understand their
interests and personal values, including what makes them unique and what they want and
they need healthcare professionals.
The second step is to identify the specific objectives of the patients. Most of
the objectives of patient advocacy focus on encouraging collaboration between
patients, family members, and healthcare professionals while also empowering patients in the
decision-making process. Nurses may also have to translate the
hospital policies and clinical information into understandable language.
The third step is to implement the defense plan. The patient advocates
facilitate communication with the entire healthcare team about the preferences of the
patients. They incorporate goals identified by the patients into the care plan and
they offer objective guidance. They support patients by negotiating and making
concessions when conflicts of interest arise, maintaining security and the
coordination of care throughout the course of the illness.
In the fourth step, the patient advocates assess the outcome of their activity.

(ANA) recommends that evaluations be based on criteria, that they be systematic,
continuous and focused on achieving the expected results. These evaluations
they should include the patient, family members, caregivers, and other members of the
healthcare team.
