Objectives: Swedish healthcare is transitioning towards more person-centred care (PCC). To support this transition, a training program targeting healthcare personnel focusing on facilitation and PCC was developed and implemented: FaciLitating Implementation of Person-Centred Care-training program (FLIP). The FLIP-training program introduces facilitation skills, such as tools for supporting behavior change processes, combined with person-centred care. This study evaluated the training package's acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. Methods: Five healthcare units were recruited: four from a hospital and one from the primary health care. Two healthcare personnel from each unit were selected to participate in the training program between October 2022-February 2023 in seven online workshops and two individual supervisions. Data was collected before and three months after the training program by targeting all healthcare personnel at the five units using the short version of the questionnaire Person-centred Practice Inventory – Staff (PCPI-S). Moreover, group and individual interviews were held with facilitators, managers, healthcare personnel, and FLIP-training package/program leaders at these two time points and directly after completing the training program. The transcribed interview data were analysed deductively according to qualitative content analysis. Results: In total, 63 individuals were interviewed, and 184 questionnaires were answered. The attendance at the FLIP-training program varied due to the high workload and sick leave. Preliminary analysis shows that the acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility differed between the healthcare units and that supportive leadership is key. The acceptability of PCC seemed high at all units, while the appropriateness varied depending on the care context. The questionnaires have not yet been analysed. Conclusion: The findings suggest a potential of using facilitation as a strategy to support the implementation of PCC. However, what components of a training program that are most important for learning and implementing PCC need further investigation.

My research spans several research fields. One area of focus is the quality of life among individuals living with HIV, exploring how various factors influence their health and well-being. Another significant area of research involves person-centred care and its implementation across various healthcare settings. At this conference, we are presenting multiple projects, including one notable study on implementing person-centred care into a midwifery training program in the Democratic Republic of Congo and one study implementing person-centred care in Sweden through facilitation.
