Summary

There are multiple philosophical perspectives to what constitutes a person and personhood.

Persons are more than their physical and cognitive make‐up, but instead constitute a dynamic interrelationship of multiple factors that come together as personhood.

Personhood is the key characteristic that distinguishes persons from non‐persons.

Values are a key part of our personhood.

Learning outcomes

Understand what person‐centred practice is, distinguishing it from other approaches to practice, for example patient‐centredness, client‐centredness, family‐centredness, woman‐centredness and child‐centredness.

Identify and describe the different challenges posed for healthcare practitioners when adopting person‐centred approaches to practice.

Understand the importance of the need for the development of person‐centred cultures in healthcare organisations.

Introduction

The term ‘person‐centredness’ is increasingly used in healthcare discourse. Reflecting a desire to keep the person in the centre of decision making, a focus on person‐centredness challenges traditional ideas of (for example) task‐orientated practices, dehumanising of patients through medical labels and system efficiency without considering its impact on persons. In this chapter, we will explore what we mean by person‐centredness with a particular focus on person‐centred practice. In recognising that there are a variety of terms used in healthcare when considering person‐centredness, we will compare and contrast some of these commonly used terms and what they may mean for how person‐centredness is operationalised. Being person‐centred in everyday practice is challenging and so the need for organisations to adopt a whole‐systems approach to person‐centred healthcare will be considered.

Activity

Collect a story of a care experience from a relative or friend. Reflect with them the extent to which you consider it to be a person‐centred experience. Identify with the relative or friend the key things that led you to think it was or was not person‐centred.

In your care story, you may have identified key elements that resonated with aspects of persons and personhood from Chapter 1. The story might include issues that reflect the person's key values and beliefs that are important to them. It might have said something about the kinds of relationships they experienced with different healthcare workers and it may say something about the person‐centred processes experienced in the care setting. But you might also be thinking, ‘These issues are so basic and ordinary, why are we having to pay such attention to them?’ In many respects you are right, of course, but we also know that these fundamental aspects of life, that we value so greatly, often get challenged in different healthcare contexts. This happens because of a variety of complex factors that, taken together, turn the ‘ordinariness of the everyday’ into the ‘extraordinariness of healthcare practice’. The Person‐centred Practice Framework that we introduce in Chapter 3picks up on these factors and explores why being person‐centred can be so challenging to achieve.

The values of person‐centredness

Many of the underpinning values of person‐centredness that are dominant in healthcare are not new and, indeed, many can be traced back through the history of healthcare and especially in the context of care and caring, where the core value of ‘respect for the person’ is paramount (McCance et al. 1997, 1999). Table 2.1sets out these core values.

Table 2.1 The core values of person‐centred practice

Core value What the value means in practice
Respect for personhood Holding the person's values central in decision making is essential to a person‐centred approach to practice
Being authentic Being ‘real’ in our representation of who we are as persons to enable meaningful engagement in relationships
Sharing autonomy Forming trusted and interconnected relationships between persons for shared, informed decision making
Showing respect for and active engagement with a person's individual abilities, preferences, lifestyles and goals Balancing all persons' competence and expertise with individual understandings of well‐being and potential futures
Demonstrating mutual respect and understanding Forming positive interactive relationships that create an interdependence and shared energy
Therapeutically caring Caring as a therapeutic intervention focusing on actions that respond to individual need and that strives for positive outcomes
Committed to healthfulness as process and outcome Living a positive life and embracing all dimensions of our being

Activity

Consider these core values from the perspective of the work you did for Activity 3 in Chapter 1. Are there similarities between these core values of person‐centredness and your personal values? List the similarities and differences. Write a 100‐word reflection that captures how you as a person connect with these person‐centred values.
