The creation of person-centred cultures within healthcare settings is a pre-requisite for person-centred care. Healthcare leadership is necessary to cultivate such cultures and leadership should be based on the same values set. Whilst an empirically informed theoretical model for person-centred leadership exists, and many organisations are offer leadership development programmes for person-centred practice, there is a lack of evaluation studies. To evaluate such leadership development programmes the assumption is that these are based on the same set of curriculum components. The absence of a person-centred leadership development curriculum framework was the instigation for this delphi study. A modified delphi study using anonymous/confidential surveys was used to seek consensus for a curriculum framework. The initial curriculum framework consisted of 16 component parts and 6 guiding principles for the delivery of a person-centred leadership development program. This was based on findings of a literature study and consultations with members of the Person-Centred Practice International Community Of Practice (PCP-ICOP) with experience in delivering leadership development programmes. Participants for the delphi study surveys were also recruited within and via the PCP-ICOP but excluded those members who had contributed to the initial curriculum framework development. Consensus was sought using a 5 punt Likert scale. The twenty five participants could also leave comments and suggestions for each item. Round 1 acheived the pre-determined 70+% (strongly)agree cut-off for all items. Collected comments and suggestions were used to refrase several items and formulate two new components. Round 2 acheived 80+% consensus on all items, thereby eliminating the need for a third round. We can now publish an internationally agreed curriculum framework for person-centred leadership, with content component parts and guiding principles. We are curious for feedback from a wider audience within the person-centred practice community
Associate professor, senior lecturer in occupational therapy University of Gothenburg
Emmelie Barenfeld is a Senior Lecturer at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, and a researcher affiliated with the Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC). Her research focuses on person-centred and integrated care from an occupational science perspective, with a particular emphasis on supporting healthcare systems in the transition towards more person-centred and integrated models of care. Her work explores how person-centred practices can be implemented and sustained through leadership, education, and co-created interventions. The research is conducted across diverse care contexts and is characterised by close collaboration and co-creation with people in need of care, health and social care professionals, and leaders.
