Development of remote person-centred care based on participatory design for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic heart failure -A Randomized Controlled trial
Background: Person-centred care (PCC) is an approach based on ethical principles. To support operationalization of person-centred ethics in clinical practice a framework was developed by the Gothenburg Centre for Person Centred Care (GPCC). Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic heart failure (CHF) are known for their high mortality and severe impact on activities in daily living. Therefore, self-management strategies are c…
Experiences of support in people with stress-related exhaustion
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Implementation of Person-Centered Care
This feasibility pilot study indicates that the Gothenburg PCC approach can be successfully transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in Poland with favorable perceptions of implementation by both professionals and patients/their families
Terms of engagement for working with patients in a person‐centred partnership
Evidence is emerging of the potential of person-centred approaches to create partnerships between professionals and patients while also containing healthcare costs. This is important for enhancing outcomes in individuals with complex needs, who consistently report poor experiences with care. The shift towards person-centred care (PCC) is, however, a radical departure from the norm, with increased expectations of both professional and patient. Alt…
A national research centre for the evaluation and implementation of person‐centred care
BACKGROUND: Person-centred care (PCC) has been suggested as a potential means to improve the care of patients with chronic and long-term disorders. In this regard, a model for PCC was developed by the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC). OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to explore the theoretical frameworks, designs, contexts and intervention characteristics in the first 27 interventional studies conducted based on th…
Supporting Innovative Person-Centred Care in Financially Constrained Environments
The COST CARES project aims to support healthcare cost containment and improve healthcare quality across Europe by developing the research and development necessary for person-centred care (PCC) and health promotion. This paper presents an overview evaluation strategy for testing 'Exploratory Health Laboratories' to deliver these aims. Our strategy is theory driven and evidence based, and developed through a multi-disciplinary and European-wide t…
Understanding persons with psychological distress in primary health care
The purpose of this study was to gain more knowledge and a deeper understanding of experiences of persons living with psychological distress who seek help in primary care. Psychological distress is a state of emotional suffering associated with stressors and demands that are difficult to cope with in daily life. The lack of effective care for and difficulty in identifying psychological distress is frustrating for patients and health professionals…
Beyond medicalization
For too long, medical/psychiatric and psychological studies, with focus on emotional sensitivity, personality traits, and correlation with psychopathology, have dominated research on self-injuring acts. The phenomenon thus has been defined as a predominantly medical issue. However, a large body of community prevalence studies show self-injuring acts to be a common phenomenon in society, and most of those who self-injure are unknown in psychiatric…
The association between self-reported lack of sleep, low vitality and impaired glucose tolerance
Insufficient sleep seems independently associated with IGT in men, while low vitality was not independently associated with IGT neither in men nor women, when multiple confounders are considered. IGT should be considered in patients presenting these symptoms, and underlying mechanisms further explored
Everyday practices at the medical ward
Modern hospital care should ostensibly be multi-professional and person-centred, yet it still seems to be driven primarily by a hegemonic, positivistic, biomedical agenda. This study aimed to describe the everyday practices of professionals and patients in a coronary care unit, and analyse how the routines, structures and physical design of the care environment influenced their actions and relationships. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted over …
Person-Centered Care — Ready for Prime Time
Long-term diseases are today the leading cause of mortality worldwide and are estimated to be the leading cause of disability by 2020. Person-centered care (PCC) has been shown to advance concordance between care provider and patient on treatment plans, improve health outcomes and increase patient satisfaction. Yet, despite these and other documented benefits, there are a variety of significant challenges to putting PCC into clinical practice. Al…

Considering patient non‐participation in health care
Objective The aim of this study was to depict patient non‐participation as described by a diverse group with recent experiences of being patients. Background Patient participation is regarded as a primary condition for optimal quality of care, suggesting that non‐participation should be avoided. A common understanding of the concept of patient non‐participation is needed. A discrepancy in definitions of patient non‐participation has been found in…
A cost-effectiveness study of cost of care and health consequences for two modes of treatment for patients with hip fractures
Objective: To perform an economic evaluation of two treatment approaches in participants with an acute hip fracture
Worsening chronic heart failure and the link to frequent hospital admissions and need of specialist care
BACKGROUND: Worsening chronic heart failure (CHF) is largely characterised by disabling symptoms, poor quality of life, frequent hospital admissions and need of specialist care. Lack of alternative care results in involuntary hospitalisation. AIM: In a pilot study evaluate home care (HC) versus conventional care (CC) in relation to medical safety, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and cost-utility in patients with worsening CHF. METHOD: Thirt…
Breaking the Vicious Circle of Fatigue in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Fatigue is a common symptom in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Characteristics of the experience and consequences of fatigue might be unique in these patients. The authors interviewed 15 patients with CHF and analyzed focused online observations of the content discussed in an Internet patient discussion group concerning CHF using grounded theory. The results suggest that fatigue is a circular process in which the consequences of fatigu…
