A Kaleidoscope of Hope: Exploring Experiences of Hope Among Service Users and Informal Carers in Health Care Contexts
(SAGE, 2017-07-06) McCormack, Brendan; Borg, Marit; Cardiff, Shaun; Dewing, Jan; Jacobs, Gaby; Titchen, Angie; van Lieshout, Famke; Wilson, Valerie
Background: There is a large and diverse literature on the concept of hope in health care. This literature covers a broad spectrum of perspectives, from philosophical, conceptual, and theoretical analysis through to attempts at measuring the concept of hope with differing health care users. Aims: To explore the concept of hope through the secondary analysis of existing data sets, with the intention of understanding hope in the context of person-centeredness. Research Question: What is the experience of hope among service users and informal carers in different health care contexts? Method: Secondary analysis of data derived from three research studies. Findings: We identified four key themes that together illustrate what we describe as a kaleidoscope of hope, reinforcing the view that there is no one presentation of hope and that practitioners must engage authentically with service users to determine the most effective and appropriate intervention strategies. Conclusions: Hope is not a singular phenomenon, and in the context of person-centered practice there is a need for practitioners to engage authentically with service users and listen carefully to what may bring hope for them. 2016, The Author(s) 2016.
Developing philosophical and pedagogical principles for a pan-European person-centred curriculum framework
(Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-09-30) Dickson, Caroline; van Lieshout, Famke; Kmetec, Sergej; McCormack, Brendan; Skovdahl, Kirsti; Phelan, Amanda; Cook, Neal F.; Cardiff, Shaun; Brown, Donna; Lorber, Mateja; Magowan, Ruth; McCance, Tanya; Dewing, Jan; Štiglic, Gregor
Background: In the associated article in this special issue of the International Practice Development Journal, Phelan et al. (2020) offer an analysis of the global positioning of person-centredness from a strategic policy perspective. This second article, an international person-centred education curriculum development initiative, builds on that foundational work. It outlines the systematic, rigorous processes adopted by academics from five European countries to analyse stakeholder data, theoretically frame the data, and thereby identify philosophical and pedagogical principles to inform the development of person-centred curriculum frameworks.
Person-centred Leadership: a relational approach to leadership derived through action research
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-09) Cardiff, Shaun; McCormack, Brendan; McCance, Tanya
Aims & Objectives: How does person-centred leadership manifest in clinical nursing. Background: Person-centred practice fosters healthful relationships and is gaining increasing attention in nursing and healthcare, but nothing is known about the influence of a person centred approach to leadership practice. Most leadership models used in nursing were originally developed outside of nursing. Design: A three year participatory action research study where participant leaders planned, researched and learned from their practice development. Methods: After an orientation phase, four action spirals focused on: critical and creative reflective inquiries into leadership practice change; leading the implementation and evaluation of a new nursing system; facilitating storytelling sessions with staff and annually reflecting on personal leadership change. Multiple data gathering methods offered insight into leadership development from several perspectives. Results: Critical and creative thematic data analysis revealed a set of attributes, relational processes and contextual factors that influenced the being and becoming of a person-centred leader. Comparing the findings with nursing leadership literature supports a conceptual framework for person-centred leadership. Conclusions: Person-centred leadership is a complex, dynamic, relational and contextualised practice that aims to enable associates and leaders achieve self-actualisation, empowerment and wellbeing.
A person-centred observational tool: Devising the Workplace Culture Critical Analysis Tool®
(Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-02-12) Wilson, Val; Dewing, Jan; Cardiff, Shaun; Mekki, Tone Elin; Øye, Christine; McCance, Tanya
The Workplace Cultural Critical Assessment Tool (WCCAT) is a participant observational tool developed a decade ago to capture evidence about workplace culture that can then be used to support practice development initiatives. The WCCAT has been applied extensively across the world in a range of healthcare settings. Since its inception, practice development has progressed and it is now explicitly linked to advancing person-centred cultures. With this in mind, it seemed timely to revise the WCCAT to reflect the progress made within practice development, and strategically link the tool to person-centred practice and achieving person-centred outcomes. This revision (WCCAT®) has been undertaken by members of the International Community of Practice (the authors of this article), whose focus is person-centred practice research. This article outlines the process undertaken for the revision and for the alignment of the revised tool with the Person-centred Practice Framework. Guidance is provided on when, why and how to use the tool to capture participant observational data that highlights evidence of person-centred practice. Detailed information and cues to support the observer in collecting and analysing data are provided, along with suggestions for facilitating feedback of data and subsequent action planning to support changes in practice. The benefits and limitations of using the WCCAT® are outlined.
Review of developments in person-centred healthcare
(Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-09-30) Phelan, Amanda; McCormack, Brendan; Dewing, Jan; Brown, Donna; Cardiff, Shaun; Cook, Neal F.; Dickson, Caroline; Kmetec, Sergej; Lorber, Mateja; Magowan, Ruth; McCance, Tanya; Skovdahl, Kirsti; Štiglic, Gregor; van Lieshout, Famke
In recent years, there has been a shift in orientation towards person-centredness as part of a global move towards humanising and centralising the person within healthcare. Person-centredness, underpinned by robust philosophical and theoretical concepts, has an increasingly solid footprint in policy and practice, but research and education lag behind. This article considers the emergence of person-centredness, including person-centred care, and how it is positioned in healthcare policy around the world, while recognising a dominant philosophical positioning in Western philosophy, concepts and theories. Second, the evolution of person-centred healthcare over the past five years is reviewed. Published evidence of person-centred healthcare developments is drawn on, as well as information gathered from key stakeholders who engaged with the partner organisations in an Erasmus+ project to develop a European person-centred healthcare curriculum framework. Five themes are identified, which underpin the literature and stakeholder perspectives: Policy development for transformation Participatory strategies for public engagement Healthcare integration and coordination strategies Frameworks for practice Process and outcome measurement These themes reflect the World Health Organization’s global perspective on people-centred and integrated healthcare, and give some indication of development priorities as person-centred healthcare systems continue to be developed.
