Background: Current health systems need reforms to sustain a thriving workforce that ensures high-quality care. To support sustainable working conditions in health and social care, more knowledge is needed about how staff experience their opportunities to apply person-centred care (PCC) and how this relates to their work-related health and job satisfaction (1). Contributing to addressing this knowledge gap (2), the present study integrates staff experiences to inform the shift towards person-centred and integrated care. Aim: To explore how health and social care staff experience PCC in relation to their work-related health and job satisfaction in hospital, municipal, and primary care settings. Methods: This ongoing study applies focus group methodology. So far, three online focus groups have been conducted with thirteen health and social care staff members and more groups are planned. Heterogeneity is sought by recruiting participants of different sexes, ages, years of working experience and occupational groups, while homogeneity is sought by recruiting participants who share similar experiences and work within comparable organisational settings. Results: Preliminary findings indicate that participants experienced PCC as an ongoing and meaningful approach that should be fostered to sustain work-related health and job satisfaction. Having first-line and senior management who understand PCC and support its application was described as a facilitator. However, organisational shortcomings, such as fragmented care processes, staffing shortages, and high work demands, were perceived as barriers that may lead to feelings of frustration and inadequacy. Conclusions: PCC may be experienced as a meaningful process that supports staff’s work-related health and job satisfaction. Implementing PCC benefits from supportive organisational structures and leadership, with attention to both facilitators and barriers. More comprehensive results will be presented at the conference.
