As nursing practices evolve amid complex care demands and staff shortages,...

Style refers to the style of leadership used to design and deliver a person-centred curriculum. The leadership style should be authentic, collaborative, and transformative, cultivating diverse thinking and an open sharing of differing perspectives that promote person-centred values and cultures. Consistent with the model of person-centred leadershi...

Background: Nursing home care is undergoing significant changes. This requires innovative teams operating in an effective workplace culture characterized by person-centeredness and offering evidence-based care. A pivotal role for bachelor- and master-educated nurses (BNs/MNs) is foreseen to facilitate such cultures; however, there is currently no c...

Hoe kun jij invulling geven aan nieuw beleid, goed inspelen op veranderende vragen van burgers, en actuele (maatschappelijke) gebeurtenissen? Op een manier die impact heeft en doorwerkt in meerdere...

In this chapter, we articulate what for us are the key principles that provide the foundations for methodologies in nursing research that support and inform person-centred practice. We do this through a dialogical approach in which we will demonstrate how we worked with such principles in our research processes. We provide accounts of two methodolo...

Skilled facilitation is key to the success of practice development (PD) and can be practised by professionals, leaders, educators, consultants, clinicians, at any level. This chapter considers the breadth and depth of facilitation, including an overview of what facilitation is, from a doctoral research study, and providing two examples of facilitat...

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 fo...

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 behi...

Wanneer je als onderzoeker aan de slag gaat met een specifieke onderzoeksvraag, is het verstandig je te verdiepen in de epistemologische en ontologische principes die aan de gekozen methodologie ten grondslag liggen. Dat helpt om richting te geven aan bijvoorbeeld methoden van dataverzameling en -analyse, maar ook draagt het bij aan het vergroten v...

Zusammenfassung. Der Begriff personenzentrierte Gesundheitsversorgung ist in aller Munde. Man könnte vermuten, dass es sich dabei um ein modisches Schlagwort handelt. Tatsächlich bezeichnet der Begriff ein theoretisch fundiertes Wertesystem, das weltweit zunehmend Beachtung findet.

Aims: To explore the concept of hope through the second...

Background: Person-centred practice, which includes compassion, needs to be well facilitated in order to flourish in healthcare settings. Facilitation is known to be complex and requires expert knowing and skills. The importance of adequate facilitator support is recognised. The literature however is unclear about the nature of this support and how...

Background: Person-centred practice is now firmly embedded in the nursing and healthcare discourse. While there is a growing body of development and research activity in the field, there is increased recognition of the need for further advances in the body of existing knowledge. This is reflected in the different approaches to person-centredness be...

Tijdens onze promotiestudies voerden wij ieder een participatief actieonderzoek (PAR) uit gebaseerd op een kritisch sociaalwetenschappelijk paradigma (Fay, 1987). In onze onderzoeken werden wij geconfronteerd met de vraag hoe we participatie konden doortrekken naar de fase van data-analyse. Participatie betekent het betrekken van en recht doen aan...

Conducting research as part of a PhD study offers students a unique opportunity to explore new methods and methodologies. Although we each based our PhD studies on a more traditional participatory action research (PAR) methodology, we also took the opportunity to experiment with a new data analysis method. Working from a critical social science par...

The aim of this workshop is to explore with you: - your standpoint with respect to helping others to develop their expertise ( for clarification of your standpoint we will make use of a creative method) - the enablers of and barriers against using active, creative and participative methods - the underlying principles of the use of active, creative...

Opleidingsinstellingen gaan hoe langer hoe meer samenwerken met het arbeidsveld om gebruik te maken van het leerpotentieel van de beroepspraktijk, c.q. het werkplek leren en daarmee de relatie tussen theorie en praktijk te bevorderen. Het ZIC biedt mogelijkheden en uitdagingen om praktijk, onderwijs en onderzoek met elkaar te verbinden.
