Abstract

According to Thomson, hospital patients form a target group of particular importance for the health educator because:
— the patients suffering from a particular disease are a motivated group so far as education related to their illness is concerned, and
— hospital patients are restricted to a certain environment for comparatively long periods of time in many instances, and thus represent a captive group for health education.
