(Wiley, 2019-05-20) Anker-Hansen, Camilla; Skovdahl, Kirsti; McCormack, Brendan; Tønnessen, Siri
Aim: To explore home care staff and leaders’ experiences of collaborating with care partners of older people with mental health problems through a personhood perspective.

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.
Invisible cornerstones. A hermeneutic study of the experience of care partners of older people with mental health problems in home care services.
(Wiley, 2018-11-16) Anker-Hansen, Camilla; Skovdahl, Kirsti; McCormack, Brendan; Tønnessen, Siri
To explore the lived experiences and support needs of the care partners of older people with mental health problems living at home with assistance from home care services. Care partners face significant challenges in their care role and they often feel unsupported. An understanding of their experiences may help improve home care to support their needs. An exploratory qualitative approach was used. The study is based on the SRQR and COREQ reporting guidelines. In-depth interviews were conducted with six Norwegian care partners from two municipalities. Data were collected during 2012-2013 and 2016. The data were analysed using Gadamer's hermeneutics. Three themes were identified: "invisible cornerstones," "dimensions of collaboration" and "unwanted roles." Few or no routines for collaboration exist between care partners and home care, and the care partners seem to have little knowledge of legal rights. They request more information, spare time and the opportunity to remain in their original family role. However, their main focus is for the patient to receive the necessary help from home care. Home care have restricted resources for meeting these needs and share a sense of powerlessness and lack of influence over their own everyday life with the care partners. There is a need for a systematic, person-centred approach to collaboration. A correlation is necessary between what is communicated at the system level and the means of realising this in practice for home care to meet care partners' needs.

“Keep it simple”—co-creation of a tailored newborn resuscitation course for midwifery students
(Dove Press, 2022-01-18) Ljungblad, Linda Wike; Skovdahl, Kirsti; McCormack, Brendan; Dahl, Bente
Purpose: To develop a tailored newborn resuscitation course for midwifery students. Patients and Methods: A qualitative study using an explorative, abductive approach was applied. Co-creation through workshops was facilitated to develop a tailored newborn resuscitation course for midwifery students. Four workshops with midwifery students and midwives were conducted from May to October 2020. Twenty participants attended one workshop of their choice. Five out of Norway’s six midwifery education programmes participated, and included midwives from across Norway. All workshops were held digitally via the Zoom platform. A seven-step framework analysis method was applied to analyse the workshop data. Results: We identified four themes: 1) practice guidance, 2) technical skills 3) non-technical skills 4) innovative methods. Conclusion: Findings emphasize the importance of practice guidance, technical skills, non-technical skills and innovative methods to facilitate the learning process. However, these skills cannot be acquired without the context to facilitate them, and thus a supportive culture is essential to sustain newborn resuscitation expertise as a midwife/midwifery student. We found that midwives expressed the same need to learn, train and prepare themselves for newborn resuscitation as midwifery students. The importance of facilitating the learning of newborn resuscitation with low-dose, high-frequency training in a supportive culture thus matters to both midwifery students and expert midwives.
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.
The third person in the room: The needs of care partners of older people in home care services—A systematic review from a person-centred perspective
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-03-26) Anker-Hansen, Camilla; Skovdahl, Kirsti; McCormack, Brendan; Tønnessen, Siri
Aims and objectives To identify and synthesise the needs of care partners of older people living at home with assistance from home care services. Background Aging in place- is a promoted concept where care partners and home care services play significant roles. Identifying the needs of care partners and finding systematic ways of meeting them can help care partners to cope with their role. Design/ Methods This study is based on the PRISMA reporting guidelines. The systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies was guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. Results In total, 16 studies were included in the review, eleven qualitative and five quantitative. Three main categories were revealed in the analysis; the need for quality interaction, the need for a shared approach to care and the need to feel empowered. Conclusion Care partners of older people have several, continuously unmet needs. A person-centred perspective can contribute new understandings of how to meet these needs. A knowledge gap has been identified regarding the needs of care partners of older people with mental health problems. There is a need to develop a tool for systematic collaboration between home care services and care partners, so that the identified needs can be met in a more thorough, systematic and person-centred way.
