    När livet står på spel - En teaterkonstnärlig studie av partnerskap i hälso- och sjukvården
    (2025-08-18) Brattström, Victoria
    In this dissertation, two worlds are being engaged – healthcare and the theatrical arts – to investigate how partner-creating processes are established in encounters between patients and professionals in healthcare settings aiming for a more person-centred care. Person‐centred care has, since long, been endorsed by patient organizations and professional bodies as one of a set of core competencies needed to effectively meet the complex challenges facing today's healthcare systems and controlled studies have shown that person-centred care can contribute to measurable changes and positive effects. Such a profound change of approach has, however, proven itself to be ‘easier said than done’, and there is a need for methods and approaches that can contribute to how a partnership between healthcare professionals and patients can be established and maintained. This dissertation builds on experiences from my theatrical practice as director and actor. Two methodological concepts are brought in from the theatre through the Stanislavskian concepts of the Magic If and Given Circumstances which actors and directors use during rehearsals to analyse a playscript. To examine the asymmetry in human interaction in healthcare contexts and what means can be effective in creating partnerships in such situations, three care encounters have been selected and transformed into theatre manuscripts. These scripts are explored with the help of actors who have taken the roles of healthcare professionals and patients in staged readings, and finally these actors are also interviewed alternately in the first and third person. The model developed in the thesis is inspired by the philosophical anthropology and critical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur and, as such, the work of interpreting a role in a theatrical context, characterised by the actor investigating and testing, in practice, a preliminary understanding of the theatrical situation by performing it, is “read” through the theoretical lens of Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation. Inspired by Kristensson Uggla’s concept laboratory of interpretation, I have chosen to regard the theatre’s rehearsal process and the healthcare encounter dialogues as interpretation labs where the patient-role is being co-created and re-interpreted (thus both discovered and invented) in the collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals during the healthcare encounter.

    Från policy till praktik : Reflektioner om personcentrering, styrning och digital utveckling
    (Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 2025) Gyllensten, Hanna; Emmesjö, Lina; Filipsson Nyström, Helena; Institutionen för vårdvetenskap och hälsa
    Denna publikation belyser hur fokus på governance och att främja partnerskap kan stödja omställningen till personcentrerad vård i hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet. Personcentrerad vård innebär att vård planeras och genomförs i partnerskap mellan patienter, närstående och vårdpersonal – med patientens berättelse, resurser och mål som utgångspunkt. Governance omfattar de strukturer och styrmekanismer som formar vårdens organisering, inklusive finansiering, uppföljning och digital infrastruktur. I publikationen tar vi avstamp i kliniska reflektioner om hur det personliga mötet kan fördjupas genom narrativa arbetssätt. Publikationen inkluderar även sammanfattningar av kontrollerade studier som utvärderar effekter och kostnadseffektivitet av personcentrerad vård i olika kontexter. Gemensamt för dessa projekt är att de visar hur digitalisering, i kombination med ett genomtänkt förhållningssätt, kan möjliggöra vård som är både mer träffsäker och hållbar. Dessa kompletteras med erfarenheter från forskningsprojekt där plattformen MinHälsa använts för personcentrerad vård på distans, som visar att digitala verktyg kan stärka patientens delaktighet, kontinuitet och tilltro till egen förmåga. Vidare presenteras studentledda designprojekt där digitala vårdplaner på 1177 utvecklats med fokus på användarcentrering som kan vara tillgänglig nationellt. Avslutningsvis diskuteras behovet av en etiskt förankrad styrning där governance fungerar som möjliggörare för personcentrering – i praktiken, i systemet och i vardagen.

    Advancing Person-Centred Learning in Higher Education: Reflections and Lessons from the LearnPCC Conference
    (Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 2025) Wallengren, Catarina; Olausson, Sepideh; Killingback, Clare; Carlström, Eric; Bruto Winberg, Elin; Karlsson, Tilda; Centre for Person-centred Care
    The inaugural LearnPCC scientific conference was held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 12–13 December 2024. Organised by the Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) at the University of Gothenburg, in collaboration with national and international partners, the conference aimed to advance the integration of person-centred care (PCC) within higher education. The programme focused on pedagogical strategies, educational innovation, and student engagement to promote PCC across healthcare professions. Participants collaboratively explored approaches to person-centred learning, with emphasis on research dissemination, pedagogical development, and interprofessional dialogue. The event highlighted the vital role of higher education in supporting health, well-being, and compassionate care. Three core themes guided the conference: (1) pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning person-centredness; (2) creating compassionate learning environments; and (3) translating person-centred theory into clinical practice. The programme included empirical studies, theoretical perspectives, practice-based projects, and artistic contributions, shared through keynotes, presentations, workshops, and discussions. The LearnPCC conference demonstrates how academic institutions can foster innovation, collaboration, and applied person-centred learning as a foundation for educational practice.

    Hälso- och sjukvård som norm: implementering av ”patientens rätt” och möjliggörande av personcentrerad hälso- och sjukvård
    (Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 2025) Petrusson, Ulf; Hermansson, Christoffer; Borkmann, Anna; Centrum för personcentrerad vård (GPCC)
    Detta är en bok om utmaningarna med att ge patienten en stark ställning i hälso- och sjukvården. Det är en bok som tar ett helhetsgrepp om hur hälso- och sjukvårdsreformer bedrivs, lagar implementeras och hälso- och sjukvård utvecklas. Utgångspunkten är patientlagen och den bristande implementeringen av densamma. Utmärkande är den sociolegala ambitionen att förstå hur hälso och sjukvården fungerar och kan utvecklas som en rättslig ordning på statlig nivå, huvudmannanivå, vårdgivarnivå och professionsnivå. Stor vikt läggs vid det reformarbete som bedrivs framför allt avseende god och nära vård, men även avseende kunskapsstyrning. Boken har ambitionen att bidra till att patientens rätt och ställning stärks i enlighet med patientlagen m.m. Arbetet utgår i detta avseende från två samspelande hypoteser: – Personcentrerad hälso- och sjukvård möjliggörs genom implementeringen av patientlagen. – Implementeringen av ”patientens rätt” enligt patientlagen (m.fl. lagar) förutsätter att man inom hälso- och sjukvården verkar för att hälso- och sjukvården ska vara personcentrerad. Den mer normativa delen av boken fokuserar på styrningen av hälso- och sjukvårdens kvalitet och hur personcentrerad vård kan möjliggöras inom ramen för denna.

    Towards State of the Science in Person-Centred Care
    (Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 2024) Wolf, Axel; Forsgren, Emma; Björkman, Ida; Edvardsson, David; Öhlén, Joakim; University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care
    This report aims to take first steps in reporting the state of the science in person-centered care: an idea focusing on how health professionals, patients and their family carer(s) collaboratively plan and carry out care. Having been introduced in the literature and in the field of health care in the late 20th century, the concept of person-centred care has expanded since the millennium shift into an interdisciplinary field of research and interprofessional practice that goes beyond professional healthcare and includes informal care by family carers, communities and larger civil society. The goal of this report is to provide an overview of the current knowledge of person-centred care and to critically illustrate the theoretical and empirical advancement of the field so far. A total of 68 international scholars have contributed, all of whom participated in the first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care (GCPCC) held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in May 2024. This report presents brief overviews of four theoretical frameworks and five research literature reviews related to person-centred care, followed by commentaries on the state of the science in person-centred care. These come from an international panel who participated in workshops held at the GCPCC which focused on the core theoretical foundations for person-centred care, and modes and strategies for translating person-centred care into practice. Finally, the report concludes with two reflective chapters, one relating person-centred care to precision health, and one on ways forward in the field to a comprehensive understanding of the state of the science in person-centred care.

    The first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care: Knowledge(s) and Innovations for Health in Changing Societies. Abstract Book
    (2024) Wolf, Axel; Öhlén, Joakim
    This is the abstract book for the first Global Conference on Person-Centred Care (GCPCC), taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden, from 13th–16th May, 2024. The conference has been organized by the University of Gothenburg’s Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC), which has been conducting research and supporting knowledge utilisation on person-centred care as a strategic government-funded research area since the centre was inaugurated in 2010. Within the conference theme, Knowledge(s) and Innovation for Health in Changing Societies, this book presents all abstract contributions presented by invited expert keynote speakers, workshops, panels/symposia as well as oral and poster presentations. Together, the book presents almost 250 abstracts. The theme reflects the relevance of various types of knowledge to further person-centred care and contributions include empirical, theoretical, literature reviews, practice-based examples, as well as art, performance and media. In this way the GCPCC signals the importance of reaching out to and fostering collaborations and partnerships globally among the various actors in the field of person-centred care.
