This abstract reports from an innovative approach to facilitating discussions when communicating research on person-centered care (PCC). The initiative involves a collaboration between researchers, communicators, and a patient representative who is also an artist. In the realm of healthcare, diverse understandings of PCC exist among healthcare professionals, students, patients, and the general public, which may pose challenges to its effective implementation. These understandings were identified through a review of sources, including published research literature as well as through focus groups with various stakeholders. Six distinct conceptions of PCC were identified: 1. PCC only works in specific healthcare contexts. 2. PCC equates to patients making all the decisions. 3. Many patients think that PCC is too demanding for them. 4. The term "patient" may no longer be used. 5. Healthcare services are already person-centered. 6. There are insufficient time and resources for PCC. To facilitate understanding and discussion of these conceptions, cartoon-style illustrations were developed for each concept. One such illustration, representing the idea that "PCC equates to patients making all the decisions" is included above. Subsequently, pedagogical materials were created to delve into these conceptions, with relevant research citations provided for each conception. The creation process for the cartoons and accompanying texts involved group meetings characterized by lively discussions focusing on inclusion, diversity, and differing perspectives within various care contexts. After each meeting, the artist adjusted the cartoons based on the group's discussions, while researchers and communicators revised the accompanying text. The overarching goal of this initiative is to offer materials that can support and stimulate reflections, thoughts, and discussions about person-centered care.
