“…Some interventions include part of the underlying understanding of the concept of person-centered care -for example, life story work (Moniz Cook et al, 2003;McKeown et al, 2010). Other interventions include different individualized care aspects and/or multi-method interventions (Sloane et al, 2004;Chenoweth et al, 2009;Dilley and Geboy, 2010;McCormack et al, 2010;Palese et al, 2010).…”

Background: Person-centered care is a multidimensional concept describing good care, especially within aged care and care for people with dementia. Research studies evaluating person-centered care interventions seldom use direct measurement of levels of person-centeredness. Existing scales that measure person-centeredness need further testing. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT).Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 1465 staff from 195 residential care units for older people in Sweden participated in the study. Validity, reliability, and discrimination ability of the scale were evaluated.Results: Confirmatory factor analysis, parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis supported the construct validity of a two-factor solution. Reliability and homogeneity were satisfactory for the whole P-CAT as demonstrated by a Cronbach's α of 0.75. Test-retest reliability showed temporal stability of the scale, and the discrimination ability of the scale was satisfactory.Conclusion: The Swedish version of the P-CAT was found to be valid, reliable, and applicable for further use. Two subscales are recommended for the Swedish version.

“…The literature also refers to the subsequent effect that life story work can have on a person's care. It can help staff to promote more personalized care (McKeown et al, 2010), reinforce an individual's identity (Heggestad and Slettebo, 2015) and help to facilitate interaction (Keady and Swarbrick, 2013). Kellett et al (2010) illustrated the positive effect of life story interventions in the form of a "family biography workshop" on staff and people with dementia and their families.…”

“…By understanding the biography of the person it can enable care workers to see the individual behind the disease and also enable the person with dementia to be seen and heard (Kellett et al, 2010, McKeown et al, 2010, Russell and Timmons, 2009.

Person and relationship-centred care provides the bedrock of professional practice, policy and education in a nursing context. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has cited person-centred care (or people-centred) as a major global objective, enabling individuals and communities to take control of their own health (WHO, 2015). The International Council of Nurses retains the achievement of personcentred care as one of its 10 strategic priorities. Others have noted the significance that person-centred care plays in the policy landscape of countries all around Europe, citing access to services, continuity of care, involvement in decision making, effective treatment and dignity and respect as the cornerstone of healthcare delivery (Paparella, 2016). In the UK, professional practice standards are most readily articulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2018), where person-centred care is a pivotal theme. A number of NICE practice guidelines cite the importance of person-centred care in involving people in healthcare decisions (NICE, 2015(NICE, , 2016(NICE, , 2018.Person-centred care as a "way of working" within healthcare has become well established in recent years. Notable contributions to the field have come from Kitson et al. (2013), Sharma et al. (2015 and Waters and Buchanan (2017). Despite a lack of consensus on what is meant by the term person-centred care, there remain a number of common threads or conceptually consistent patterns within the literature and these will be further elaborated upon later in this paper.For now, however, the term person-centred care might usefully be articulated as moving care beyond the individual's disease to ensure that care work focuses "on the needs of individual. Ensuring that people's preferences, needs and values guide clinical decisions, and providing care that is respectful of and responsive to them… Health
