Objective: Person-centred care(PCC) aims to ensure healthy lives and well-being through mutual respect and co- creation of healthcare, enabling individuals to achieve their full potential. Yet, the concept is not always well defined and operationalized into practice, challenging its implementation. The University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-centred care(GPCC) has developed an on-line course to provide training in PCC and to support healthcare units implementing it in daily practice. This study aims to culturally adapt and validate the course for Portuguese healthcare personnel in hospital services. Methods: The forward translation of the PCC course to the Portuguese language was conducted, followed by a translatability assessment performed by two Portuguese reviewers with knowledge on healthcare context and competence on PCC. To provide evidence supporting the acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility, the PCC course will first be delivered to two groups of healthcare professionals (i.e. nurses and/or physicians) in a cardiology and oncology unit of Portuguese hospitals with start in September 2023. Secondly, the participants’ perception on the structure and content of the PCC course will be assessed in focus group interviews, using a semi-structured interview guide, followed by a content analysis of the qualitative data. To explore the outcomes of the PCC educational intervention, a before-after design will be used, assessing the perspectives on person-centered practice using a self-reported measure (Person- centred Practice Inventory–Staff,PCPI-S). Results: Preliminary results will be presented. Conclusion: The validation of this course will contribute to the systematic practice of PCC in Portuguese healthcare contexts. Furthermore, Portuguese is the official language in 10 countries, representing more than 304 million of people worldwide. The translation of the course to Portuguese will therefore make it accessible in other Portuguese-speaking countries, where further validation efforts might be pursued. Hence, this study will also contribute to the global implementation of person-centeredness towards sustainable healthcare systems.
