Mapping person-centered practice in the Portuguese healthcare services: An ongoing scoping review Passed

Wednesday May 15, 2024 10:09 - 10:21 G4

Moderator: Karen Van Zijl
Presenter: Filipa Ventura

Track: Global and Local Perspectives

Recognizing the international advancements on person-centered practice (PCP) with positive implementation outcomes at the varied levels of healthcare systems, this scoping review examines the evidence on PCP in Portuguese healthcare services. The JBI guidance for scoping reviews is being followed. The Population (P) Concept (C) Context (C) mnemonic scaffolded the research questions, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the searching strategy. Literature reporting on person-centeredness domains at the macro-, meso-, and micro levels applied to Portuguese healthcare services in Portuguese and English were considered for inclusion. Accordingly, MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, LILACS, SCIELO, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP) were searched. The literature was screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers, first by title and abstract and currently by full text. A data extraction matrix designed to answer the research questions will be used for the included literature. The charted data will be thematically analyzed and presented graphically, with a narrative description of the literature characteristics. Data will map the Portuguese legislation and regulatory standards related to PCC, best practices and their philosophical underpinning, PCC processes and their effectiveness, as well as instruments being used to assess it. The results are expected to inform healthcare stakeholders at varying levels about the PCP domains where further improvements might be required in order to raise the quality of care to the international gold standards.
