Documentation of person-centred health plans for patients with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

In traditional care and treatment plans devised by health professionals, patient goals often comprise behavioural changes. When patients identify their own goals and resources with the help of professionals, they include maintaining social relations and being able to return to important activities such as work.

Paradoxes of person‐centred care: A discussion paper

“…Caring relationships are described as essential in PCC, where interpersonal nursing takes place between patients and healthcare professionals (Gabrielsson, Sävenstedt, & Zingmark, 2015) who are authentic and present (McCormack, 2004). Consequently, the importance of partnership is emphasized (Ekman et al, 2011;Fors et al, 2015;Jansson, Fors, Ekman, & Ulin, 2018;Wallström & Ekman, 2018) and may be established even without face-to-face conversations and with vulnerable patient groups (Fors et al, 2018).…”

Conventional Rehabilitation Therapy Versus Telerehabilitation in Cardiac Patients: A Comparison of Motivation, Psychological Distress, and Quality of Life

“…Individualized rehabilitation interventions may increase patients’ perceived controllability of the disease and thereby perceived self-efficacy in terms of self-care [18]. The patient’s sense of control may be reinforced if the patient is invited to participate in setting realistic goals for outcomes in rehabilitation [19]. This suggests that cooperating with the patient in setting goals for rehabilitation and self-care may in turn increase adherence to these goals over time [19], as well as increase QoL [20].…”

“…The patient’s sense of control may be reinforced if the patient is invited to participate in setting realistic goals for outcomes in rehabilitation [19]. This suggests that cooperating with the patient in setting goals for rehabilitation and self-care may in turn increase adherence to these goals over time [19], as well as increase QoL [20]. Failure to adhere to lifestyle changes and desired goals when the rehabilitation program ends is a well-known problem in cardiac rehabilitation [21].…”

Effects of person-centred care after an event of acute coronary syndrome: Two-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial

“…Other RCTs of gPCC have shown decreased re-hospitalisation and increased HRQoL [12], increased use of target doses of life-prolonging medication [25] and a significant cost reduction in patients with severe chronic heart failure [26]. gPCC emphasizes the patient's own resources which helps identifying reasonable goals during recovery [27], and facilitates both formal and informal partnership which patients perceive as a sense of ease and security [28]. From the perspective of health care professionals, gPCC introduces a new practice by facilitating active patient participation in decisions about their care, as well as creating a more person-centred approach toward improved inter-professional teamwork [29].…”
