“…This approach has its roots in a number of academic disciplines, practices, and socio‐political movements (Leplege et al., 2007). Considerable contemporary contributions to person‐centeredness emerge from disciplines such as dementia care research (Edvardsson, Fetherstonhaugh, & Nay, 2010; Edvardsson, Winblad, & Sandman, 2008; Kitwood, 1997), nursing research (McCance, McCormack, & Dewing, 2011; McCormack & McCance, 2006), and occupational therapy research (Hammell, 2015). Even though there is an overall consensus about the relevance of a person‐centered perspective, it is in everyday care practices that the framework becomes more elusive and abstract, and a translation into practices is needed (Glasdam, Henriksen, Kjær, & Praestegaard, 2013; McCormack, 2004; McCormack, Dewing, & McCance, 2011; McCormack, Karlsson, Dewing, & Lerdal, 2010; McCormack & McCance, 2006; McCormack, Dewing, et al., 2010; Rahman, Applebaum, Schnelle, & Simmons, 2012).…”

This study focuses on influence that older adults, living in nursing homes, have over everyday activities. Everyday activities are key to sustain a sense of stability, predictability, and enjoyment in the local world of people's everyday and therefore a critical dimension of the person‐centeredness framework applied within gerontology. This narrative ethnographic study aimed to shed light on how influence can be situated contextually, and how it can emerge through activities as well as how it is negotiated in everyday by frail older adults living in a nursing home. Residents, staff members, and significant others from one nursing home in an urban area of Sweden participated in this study. Data were gathered through fieldwork, including participant observation and formal and informal conversations during a period of 6 months. Data were analyzed through a narrative interpretative approach. The findings are presented in narrative form as exemplars. The exemplars—Craquelures as justification, Seeking a place for other life worlds and An almost perfect trip—reveal a gap between the client‐centeredness framework and lived experiences regarding older adults’ influence in everyday activities. The role of everyday activities in the context of frailty is discussed in terms of ethical and responsive engagement, and implications for health‐care practices are considered.

Abstract:In the service economy, scholars and practitioners are even more focused on the development and appliance of innovative services. The importance of service innovation is rising in many sectors and among different organizations. Several disciplines (e.g., marketing, management, operations research, etc.) deal with this innovation, a concept widely used, but with different definitions. In this paper, service innovation has been analyzed according to the Service Dominant Logic (S-D Logic) and a service ecosystem perspective. The literature still calls for a greater understanding of how a new or renewed combination of resources affects the shaping of service ecosystems. To contribute to filling this gap, this study explores the practices that different actors, enact to co-create value in novel ways; i.e., service innovation. The paper is structured as follows. In the first section, the main academic contributions on service research have been reviewed, focusing on healthcare service innovation. This is followed by the research method and discussion of the research findings. Finally, the theoretical and managerial implications have been detailed and an agenda for future research suggested. The paper offers interesting insights to develop new or renewed practices that foster the reshaping and maintaining of a healthcare service ecosystem. Some recommendations are included to support managers in the development of service innovation strategies.

“…Edvardsson [37] has explained that healthcare staff who do not act from a patient-focused perspective often appear untrustworthy to patients and unable to understand them as individuals. This dynamic creates an unstable staff-patient relationship that may have a detrimental effect on patient health.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions of everyday suffering among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid mental disease. Directed content analysis guided by Eriksson's theory on human suffering was performed on data from 20 individual interviews. Expressions of both suffering and well-being were identified; the former centred on loneliness and related to life, illness, and care, which supported Eriksson's theory, whereas expressions of well-being related to ADHD diagnosis and supportive social relationships. Nevertheless, results indicate the need to expand those expressions in order to better contribute to developing a supportive rehabilitation regimen that can provide more interpersonal care.
