Introduction:In addition to the functional aspects of healthcare integration, an understanding of its normative aspects is needed. This study explores the importance of values underpinning integrated, people-centred health services, and examines similarities and differences among the values prioritised by actors across Europe.Methods: Explorative cross-sectional design with quantitative analysis. A questionnaire of 18 values was conducted across Europe. A total of 1,013 respondents indicated the importance of each of the values on a nine-point scale and selected three most important values. Respondents were clustered in four actor groups, and countries in four European sub-regions. Results:The importance scores of values ranged from 7.62 to 8.55 on a nine-point scale. Statistically significant differences among actor groups were found for ten values. Statistically significant differences across European sub-regions were found for six values. Our analysis revealed two clusters of values: 'people related' and 'governance and organisation'. Discussion and conclusion:The study found that all 18 values in the set are considered important by the respondents. Additionally, it revealed distinctions in emphasis among the values prioritised by actor groups and across sub-regions. The study uncovered two clusters of values that contribute to a conceptually based definition of integrated, people-centred health services.

“…"Interprofessional," "interdisciplinary," and "integrative" are buzz words in the helping fields and in research on health and helping professions. So that HSPs stay current with the trends in health and helping practice, human services educators should further educate themselves and enhance their courses and curricula with IPC (Johnson et al, 2017;Park et al, 2019;Winfield et al, 2017). Human services is a unique and often misunderstood profession (Neukrug, 2017); thus, human services students need to learn how to identify their role in any interprofessional encounter.…”

“…IPC has been found to be vital for effective practice for a broad range of medical, mental health, and helping professions like human services. Further, it is related to improved patient outcomes when receiving health and wellness services, including enhanced quality of and access to services (Cox et al, 2014;Donovan et al, 2018), positive client experience (Davidson et al, 2022), satisfaction (Will et al, 2019), and increased prevalence of holistic care related to case conceptualization and treatment planning (Winfield et al, 2017). Researchers emphasizing increased quality of care and improved client outcomes when IPC is practiced suggest that human services educational programs should incorporate IPC activities, assignments, and courses into their curricula.…”

Given the provision of health and wellness services is shifting towards an interdisciplinary framework, human services professionals may be in a unique position to collaborate with various professionals in the pursuit of client welfare. To competently engage in interprofessional care, interprofessional education (IPE) in human services training programs is necessary. This paper points to the alignment between human services organizations, values, and practice with the Interprofessional Education Collaborative’s competencies and makes recommendations for the didactic infusion of IPE into human services programs, curricula, coursework, and experiences.

“…Researchers have found that HSPs engage in care approaches, such as interprofessional collaboration and referral-based approaches to provide all-inclusive care (Hardin et al, 2017;Winfield et al, 2017). Collaborative care remains a favorable approach for HSPs as they take on a wide range of responsibilities, including mental health services, disaster response, referrals, resources, and advocacy.…”

“…Collaborative care remains a favorable approach for HSPs as they take on a wide range of responsibilities, including mental health services, disaster response, referrals, resources, and advocacy. Interprofessional collaboration assists with providing holistic service with benefits noted for both the providers and the clients (Winfield et al, 2017). Interprofessional collaboration affords providers an avenue for increased professional development, benefits to the profession, and a holistic approach to client care; benefits to the client include achievement of goals and receipt of holistic treatment services (Johnson & Mahan, 2019).…”

In the heart of the current COVID-19 outbreak, individuals are experiencing higher rates of mental and emotional distress associated with the unpredictability of a pandemic experience. Human services providers (HSPs) serve as essential supports for individuals, families, and communities affected by the current pandemic. However, relatively little guidance currently exists on the work of HSPs in response to COVID-19, including strategies and interventions that HSPs can employ to effectively address the growing mental and emotional health demands during the pandemic. In response, this article identifies the vital role and strategic response approaches of HSPs during a pandemic crisis. Further, we explore how HSPs can leverage, in a practical way, existing strategies within their helper, healer, and mitigator capacities to sustain individual and community care in the immediate, intermediate, and extended time frames of a pandemic occurrence. This is the first of two articles comprising the special issue’s section on Social Systems in the Moment.
