Critical care nurses' experiences of working during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic - Applying the Person-centred Practice Framework

We need to prepare ahead of time so that nurses have optimal organisational prerequisites to be able to work in accordance with person-centred practice, also during pandemics and other crisis, which means to be able to give nursing care in accordance with the ill person's needs and resources.

Associations between person-centred care and job strain, stress of conscience, and intent to leave among hospital personnel

Hospitals have experienced difficulty in retaining qualified healthcare personnel. Previous studies have shown that working in a person-centred environment could offset this challenge, but research is scarce. The organisational and environmental support subscale of perceived PCC showed significant correlations with all explanatory variables, while the extent of personalising care subscale only correlated with job strain and intent to leave. Higher perceived PCC is associated with work-related factors in hospital departments.

Short Communication: Opportunities and Challenges for Early Person-Centered Care for Older Patients in Emergency Settings

The provision of person-centered care (PCC) for older adults in emergency settings is important. This short communication explores the complexity of providing comprehensive PCC for older adults in emergency settings, based on a synthesis of existing literature and empirical data from a small-scale case study on the potential of improving patient engagement in a Danish emergency department (ED). Our findings highlight overall positive attitudes towards PCC, as patient engagement is perceived as important and feasible during the waiting hours that older patients experience.

Care Integration in Primary Dementia Care Networks: A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study

Currently, care integration for community-dwelling persons with dementia is poor and knowledge on how to effectively facilitate development of integrated dementia care is lacking. The DementiaNet program aims to overcome this with a focus on interprofessional collaboration. The DementiaNet approach enables a transition towards more mature networks. Identified success factors provide better understanding of how network maturity can be achieved and gives guidance to future care integration strategies.

Tailored patient therapeutic educational interventions: A patient-centred communication model

Tailoring therapeutic education consists of adapting the intervention to patients' needs with the expectation that this individualization will improve the results of the intervention. Communication is the basis for any individualization process. Communication is the basis for any individualization process. There is no model of patient-centred communication in educational interventions. From semistructured interviews with HCPs, we propose a patient-centred communication model for tailoring patient education intervention.

The influence of nursing home managers’ leadership on person-centred care and stress of conscience: A cross-sectional study

Leadership and stress are common concepts in nursing, and this study explores empirically the connection between leadership and stress of conscience in the context of aged care practice. Previous literature has shown that when staff are unable to carry out their ethical liabilities towards the residents, feelings of guilt may occur among staff, which may be an expression of stress of conscience. Although leadership has been described as crucial for staff’s work perceptions of stress as well as for person-centred practices, the influence of nursing home managers’ leadership on stress of conscience among staff and person-centred practices is still ...

Critical care nurses’ experiences of working during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic –Applying the Person-centred Practice Framework

In a short period, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged healthcare systems and societies worldwide. ICUs have been described as ‘the frontline of a war’ against the disease Critical care nurses (CCNs) in this frontline were and are still engaging with some of the most challenging ethical issues of our time; these include limited resources, a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) and professionals’ obligations to care for patients. At the same time, they were expected to provide person-centred care (PCC) with quality, as they had done before the pandemic.

What does Success Look Like for Leaders of Integrated Health and Social Care Systems? a Realist Review

Health and social care services in England are moving towards greater integration, yet little is known about how leadership of integrated care teams and systems can be supported and improved. This realist review explores what works about the leadership of integrated care teams and systems, for whom, in what circumstances and why. This review has generated new perspectives on the leadership of integrated care teams and systems that can be built upon, developed, and tested further.

Designing a person-centred integrated care programme for people with complex chronic conditions: a case study from Catalonia

The prevalence of people with complex chronic conditions is increasing. This population’s high social and health needs require person-centred integrated approaches to care. We developed an evidence-based integrated care programme tailored to high-need patients combining input from patients, caregivers, and healthcare and social care professionals. Patients’ and caregivers’ main priorities were to ensure (a) comprehension of information provided by healthcare professionals; (b) coordination between patients, caregivers, and professionals; (c) access to social services; (d) support to caregivers in managing situations; (e) perceived support throughout the healthcare process; (f) home care, when available; and (d) a patient-centred approach
