Myths and conceptions about person-centred care

Research project
Active research
Project period
2022 - 2023
Project owner
The Institute of Health and Care Sciences, University of Gothenburg

Short description

This project is a joint collaboration between The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and GPCC which aims to communicate knowledge on person-centred care in a novel and accessible way through addressing common myths surrounding the concept. In a first step we aim to validate the occurrence of certain myths with purposefully selected participants including patient representatives, students, and health care professionals from different health and care settings. The list of myths will be modified based on the results from step 1. In step 2 we will review the research literature to problematize the different myths. A short and vigorous alternative to each myth will be formulated.
