Embodied Learning and Patient Education: From Nurses' Self-Awareness to Patient Self-Caring
Overview & Synopsis
This article is intended as a clear and practical introduction to use of a scientific perspective on embodied learning. It looks to embodied cognition and embodied cognitive science to explore education for self-care. The author presents a neurobiologic understanding of embodied learning to bridge adult education to the science-driven world of health care. She shares a well-studied pedagogy of embodied education that can be applied to develop embodied patient education. Finally, she suggests a vision of patient education sourced in personal embodied awareness as a most appropriate means of achieving truly empowered patients capable of self-care. (Contains 1 figure.)
