“…In a Swedish study, partnership in person‐centred care was found to be an informal relationship between the person with chronic diseases and the health professional, with a close connection that builds patient confidence whilst often deferring to expert opinions of health professionals (Wolf et al., 2017). In an English research study of patients with chronic back pain, a good patient–professional partnership has been found to have a positive effect on patient self‐care abilities (Fu, McNichol, Marczewski, & Closs, 2016). Ideally, a self‐care partnership supports the person with the chronic disease, and their families, to accrue the knowledge, confidence and skills to manage their condition (Bodenheimer, Lorig, Holman, & Grumbach, 2002; Whitehead, Jacob, Towell, Abu‐qamar, & e., & Cole‐Heath, A., 2018).…”
