| Sumario: | Objective: to analyze the Expert Patient concept in Walker and Avant’s model. Method: theoretical concept analysis conducted in November 2019 on national and international databases with a final sample of 21 studies, in which the following data were investigated: country, year of publication, area of knowledge, participants, concept, attributes, antecedents, and consequences. The quantitative data were analyzed in a simple descriptive way and the qualitative data were organized in figures. The concepts identified were processed with the aid of the Interface de R pour Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires software program. Results: the United Kingdom (10; 47.6%) stood out, as well as the year 2015 (04; 19.1%), Nursing as the most evidenced area of knowledge (05; 23.8%), and patients as participants (18; 72.0%). With regard to the basic elements, care self-management (04;19.5%) was the most relevant attribute; in addition, the increase in the number of people with chronic diseases (10;18.5%) and social/community integration (14;24.5%) were evidenced as the most important antecedent and consequence, respectively. Additionally, the terms expert patient, condition and health stood out in the processing of the concepts presented in the studies included in the final sample. Conclusion: concept analysis allowed determining the origin of the Expert Patient concept, the different fields of action of this subject, the self-care skills developed and their actual meaning, which is defined as an individual actively engaged in self-care and with the required skills to manage their clinical condition and help others in a similar situation. |
