Abstract:
Background/Objective: Over the past decade, many scientific articles have focused on the importance of person-centred care (or person centredness) in the health care sector. In practice, however, person centredness is difficult to operationalise. Thus, the role of “person-centredness coach” was created in a Swedish hospital to provide information, education, and reflection on person centredness. The aim was to describe this new role of a person-centeredness coach, and how the coaches experienced the development of a person-centred working method.Methods: Qualitative semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with nine nursing staff. The data were analysed using inductive content analysis.Results: The analysis resulted in three categories with seven subcategories: an eye opener (with the subcategories of a welcome change and person centredness throughout the organisation); an obstacle with potential (with the subcategories of theoretical vs. practical development of person centredness, difficulties in developing person centredness and proposals for promoting patient participation); and a challenging role (with the subcategories of necessary but a role that takes a long time to develop and the importance of favourable conditions).Conclusions: The person-centredness coaches believed that the person-centred approach was important and that it should be the foundation of all care work within health care but, despite this, had difficulty in integrating person centredness into their practice. The person-centredness coaches found the coach training rewarding. They perceived that, from a learning perspective and through the lens of work-integrated learning, the results could be related to creating praxis, which may be seen as a development area for further research in operationalising person centredness.

Abstract:
IntroductionThere is a growing demand for long-term care services for older adults that embrace a model of care centred on individual recipients of care. In long-term care, models of person, resident and relationship-centred care have been developed and implemented to promote independence, decision making and choices of residents. Although the concepts of centredness have been readily adopted in these environments, what constitutes centredness is often vague and lacks conceptual clarity and definition. The research questions guiding this scoping review are: (1) What are the defining attributes, conceptual boundaries and theoretical underpinnings of each centredness term in long-term care? (2) For what purposes have centredness directed models of care been used in this context? (3) What types of study designs have been used to examine centredness in this context? (4) What outcomes related to centredness have been reported or evaluated and how were they measured in long-term care?Methods and analysisThis review uses the methodological framework for conducting a scoping review by Arksey and O’Malley. The search strategy will be applied to nine bibliographic and citation databases, Google Scholar and the grey literature. Study selection will occur in a two-step process. First, the titles and abstracts of all search results will be screened by individual reviewers. Second, a full-text review will be conducted by a pair of reviewers. To be included articles must (1) define centredness in the context of long-term care; (2) describe the defining features of centredness; (3) explore the theoretical underpinnings of centredness; (4) outline outcomes of centredness or (5) use outcome measures related to centredness. Data will be extracted from included studies and analysed using thematic analysis as described by Braun and Clark.Ethics and disseminationResearch ethics approval is not required for this scoping review. Dissemination strategies will follow a targeted and tailored approach based on study findings.

Abstract:
Introduction The centrality of the patient to health care has been increasingly recognised both politically and professionally. Patient-centred care has become synonymous with high-quality care and a number of studies have reinforced patient's desire for, and the positive impact of the approach. Although the concept emerged over 30 years ago, it is still not clear what it is, upon what theories it is based, or how to measure it. Whilst the concept has been explored within medicine, nursing and other allied health professions, within physiotherapy there has only been minimal discussion. The aim of this research was to explore the meaning of patient-centred care in relation to low back pain, from the perspective of musculoskeletal physiotherapists. Methods Purposive sampling was initially used to select participants. Subsequently theoretical sampling was adopted whereby analysis of the data informed the sample selection. Nine musculoskeletal physiotherapists agreed to participate in the study. They ranged in experience from five to 25 years. Individual semi- structured interviews were adopted as the method of data collection. The interviews were audio taped and then transcribed verbatim. Analysis broadly followed the Grounded Theory approach outlined by Strauss and Corbin (1990). It consisted of a process of open, axial and selective coding. Constant comparative analysis resulted in the identification with a core category and three inter-related sub-categories and the development of a substantive theory of patient-centred care.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: HIV/AIDS is a disease that affects millions of people in South Africa. Various strategies have been implemented to try and curb this epidemic. One of the strategies 'used is the dissemination of information pertaining to the prevention of contracting HIV/AIDS. One of the measures of disseminating such information is through pamphlets and brochures in all eleven official languages of South Africa. This research endeavours to establish whether translated HIV/AIDS brochures are communicative towards its target readers or not. The aim of producing these brochures is to educate people about ways to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. On investigating translated Xhosa HIV/AIDS brochures, the researcher established that some brochures are poorly translated and fail to accomplish their purpose. Various factors contribute to the non-communicativeness of these brochures towards their intended target readers. The microstructure as well as the macrostructure of the texts tend to be problematic as far as understanding and reader-friendliness are concerned. In the end the people for whom these texts are intended do not understand the information they so desperately need. The skopos theory has been recommended by functionalist scholars as an appropriate translation approach, as it considers the culture of the target readers as well as the intention of the text. It is also concerned with whether target readers actually understand the target text. Therefore the skopos theory is promoted in this thesis for the translation of informative and instructive medical brochures and pamphlets, especially those translated into Xhosa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: MIV/VIGS is 'n toestand wat miljoene mense in Suid-Afrika affekteer. Verskeie strategieë is reeds geïmplementeer om hierdie epidemie te probeer beheer. Een hiervan is die verspreiding van inligting met betrekking tot die voorkoming van MIVNIGS. Inligting oor die voorkoms en beheer van MIV/VIGs word, onder andere, versprei deur middel van pamflette en brosjures in al elf amptelike tale van Suid-Afrika. Hierdie navorsing probeer vasstelof vertaalde MIVNIGS brosjures effektief met hul teikenlesers kommunikeer. Die doel van hierdie brosjures is om mense op te voed oor maniere om die verspreiding van MIVNIGS te bekamp. Deur 'n studie te maak van vertaalde Xhosa MIVNIGS brosjures, het die navorser die slotsom bereik dat sommige brosjures baie swak vertaal word en daarom nie hul doel bereik nie. Verskeie faktore dra by tot die gebrekkige kommunikasie tussen vertalers van hierdie brosjures en hul teikenlesers. Die mikro- sowel as die makrostruktuur van die tekste skep probleme met betrekking tot begrip en lesersvriendelikheid. Uiteindelik kry die persone wat die inligting desperaat benodig, nie toegang daartoe nie. Die skoposteorie word as die aangewese benadering aanbeveel deur kenners van die funksionalistiese vertaalteorie, aangesien dit die kultuur van die teikenlesers sowel as die doel van die teks in ag neem. Hierdie benadering het ook ten doel dat die teikenlesers werklik die teks sal begryp. Die skoposteorie word dus in hierdie tesis voorgehou as die geskikte benadering vir die vertaling van informatiewe en instruktiewe mediese brosjures en pamflette, veral in Xhosa.

Abstract:
Background: Guidelines suggest that rehabilitation for people with stroke should adopt patient-centred goal-setting (PCGS). Methods: A literature review and two qualitative studies were done in an acute stroke-unit. Study one aimed to explore influence of PCGS within stroke rehabilitation. Patients with stroke, with ability to participate and staff caring for them were included. Data collection involved interviews, observations, document analysis and focus-groups. Analysis involved sequential and intra-case analysis methods. Study two aimed to build a resource to improve PCGS and evaluate its feasibility and appropriateness. Based on Study one and review, a resource (T-PEGS) was developed and applied in this setting. Patients with same criteria as Study one and staff who agreed to act as keyworkers were recruited. Data collection and analysis methods were similar to Study one. Findings: Study one, with thirteen patients and twelve professionals, revealed limited application of PCGS due to participants’ health beliefs, limitations in knowledge and resources. Study two involved five patients and five staff who applied T-PEGS; recording of psychosocial goals, information sharing and rapport between patients and professionals had improved. Conclusion: T-PEGS seemed to improve PCGS locally. Small study-size and single site limit generalisability. Future work should explore mechanisms and effectiveness of T-PEGS.

Abstract:
The term ‘person-centred’ is increasingly used in human services to define desirable approaches to service delivery for vulnerable groups of people. This multi-stage, iterative study uses a post-structuralist approach to build a conceptualisation of person-centredness with relevance across the ageing, disability, and mental health sectors. The resultant framework and conceptual model informs the application of person-centredness across policy, organisational and front-line practice contexts.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the experiences of General Practitioners (GPs) and patients in the management of type 2 diabetes in contemporary Australia. I focus on the way the socioeconomic position of patients is a factor in that experience as my underlying interest is in exploring how health inequalities are understood, approached and handled in general practice. The study is thus a practical and grounded exploration of a widely debated theoretical issue in the study of social life, namely the relationship between the micro day-to-day interactions and events in the lives of individuals and the broad macro structure of society and the position of the individual within that. There is now wide acceptance and evidence that people’s social and economic circumstances impact on their health status and their experiences in the health system. However, there is considerable debate about the role played by primary medical care. Nevertheless, better theoretical understanding of the importance of psychosocial processes in generating social inequalities in health suggests medical care may well be important, as such processes are crucial in the care of chronic illnesses such as diabetes which are now such a large part of general practice work. I approach this study through an exploration of patient centred clinical practice. Patient centredness is a pragmatic, idealised prescriptive framework for clinical practice, particularly general practice. Patient centredness developed in part in response to critiques of biomedicine, and is premised on a notion of a more equal relationship between GP and patient, and one that places importance on the context of patients’ lives. It contains an implicit promise that it will help GP and patient engage with and confront social disadvantage.

Abstract:
We live in a rapidly changing world in which learners are constantly being inundated with knowledge and are expected to be more responsible for their learning. Although, the 21st century technologies including the Learning Management System (LMS) have emerged, evaluations of such innovations are few. Thus, this study evaluated learners' centredness on the utilization of Learning Management System in a dual mode tertiary institution in southwest, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The main data collection instrument was created using Google form and 376 learners completed and submitted the questionnaire online. Data collected were analyzed using means and standard deviation. The study revealed that learners are positively inclined to the utilization of the LMS for obtaining learning resources with a mean value of 3.06±1.20 and with a mean value of 3.28±1.13, learners agreed that the LMS encourages learners’ centredness in terms of flexibility and accessibility. However, with a mean value of 2.81±1.4, learners were not satisfied with instructional delivery and feedback mechanisms on the LMS. It was recommended among other things that more virtual laboratories should be made available with full facilities to foster learners’ academic performance and create conducive environment for facilitators during interactive sessions.

Abstract:
Thirty years after the so-called ‚Wende‘, a fundamental and comprehensive study of the musical history of the GDR - encompassing both the music itself and the political and cultural contexts (i.e. the musical relations) - still represents a desideratum. The same is true for a long-term comparative music history of the divided Germany, for which the our project develops some essential prerequisites. The research project presented here is an informed cultural-historical analysis of the musical discourse of the GDR under the auspices of the Cold War. It is not about a revised version of national history only, because despite a relatively strong national and regional self-centredness of the musical life of the GDR, it can hardly be understood without the political and cultural references to the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the neighbouring European states.

Abstract:
Zambian Education School-based Training (ZEST) is an innovative programme aimed at improving teaching in line with policy aspirations in Zambia. It draws on existing roles, structures and processes whilst making innovative use of technology and resources, to support teaching and to challenge attitudes which can limit achievement. A programme of research has been designed to better understand school-based continuing professional development (SBCPD) at a school-level. This presentation focuses on one strand of that research: school leaders. It seeks to make explicit what it is that school leaders do to support successful innovation. // ZEST is based on the policy aspiration that teaching should be more learner-centred, and defines learner-centredness in terms of attitudes, values and relationships, rather than a set of required practices. This paper will draw on the literature to suggest what ‘learner-centred leadership’ could look like. It will present data from interviews and observations gathered during a two-day visit to each of six schools to explore head teachers’ leadership of innovation. A purposive sample of schools was chosen, based on their successful engagement with ZEST as evidenced through new ways of working, new attitudes to learners, and the successful use of technology. // The presentation will provide case studies of successful school leaders and will highlight what it means to innovate, identifying key drivers and constraints in the Zambian context. The findings will be relevant to others working on the continent.
