چکیده

Changes in life style, stimulated through planned education intervention by the professionals in health care system, can be obtained, do have an impact, and are absolutely essential (Simond, 1974). This has of course resulted in the various Health Education Programmes of the Ministry of Health Malaysia. The burden of bringing about this change should not only be the responsibility of the general health worker but extended further to include hospital staff as well. In fact the hospital provides an excellent environment for health education of the patients, relatives and visitors. When an individual is ill he is impressed with effect of failure to take adequate precaution and the gravity of the situation strongly affects his friends and relatives (Ghosh, 1969). With this hope and from the experience gained in hospitals in Kelantan that a large percentage of our patients especially children enter hospitals for treatment of preventable diseases and are frequently readmitted for similar conditions or their sequele due to amongst other factors, the lack of knowledge and the improper personal health practises of the patient/parents (personal communication Dr. S. Bala Krishnan former Paediatrician, General Hospital Kota Bharu) kindled the thought and concept of an activity in the field of patient health education as an integrated part of patient management in hospitals in Kelantan.
