Abstract

The "Hygiène de vie" ("personal health practices") group is a nursing initiative and innovative tool helping patients to regain their autonomy and facilitating their resocialisation as close as possible to their living environment. An approach centred on the links with network partners is essential, as the team of the adult day care center in Vaulx-en-Velin testifies.

Keywords: autonomisation; care; infirmière; nurse; patient; prise en charge; psychiatrie; psychiatry.
