- Enablers, barriers and strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors : a qualitative study protocolPublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Domingos, Josefa; Almeida, Ana Silva; Castro, Cidália; Simões, Aida; Fernandes, Sónia; Vareta, Diana; Bernardes, Catarina; Fonseca, Jorge; Vaz, Célia; Dias, Ana Rita; Fernandes, Tatiana; Godinho, CatarinaCancer is a life-threatening illness affecting all dimensions of a person’s health. Cancer survivors must build resilience to face this adversity and continue their life projects. The present study explores the enablers, barriers, and strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors. This qualitative, descriptive exploratory study will use purposive sampling to recruit cancer survivors and healthcare professionals from two hospital centers in Lisbon and Tagus Valley. Interviews will be conducted until data saturation occurs. Data analysis will be performed using an inductive content analysis process with the help of the QDA Miner Lite database. The findings from this study will generate knowledge that may help stakeholders to identify effective strategies to build resilience among cancer survivors. By implementing strategies to foster resilience, healthcare professionals can potentially promote positive adaptations to cancer by strengthening resilience enablers and reducing the impact of barriers.
- Perspectives of older adults with chronic illness on person-centered practice at an inpatient hospital department : a descriptive studyPublication . Vareta, Diana; Ventura, Filipa; Família, Carlos; Oliveira, CéliaBackground: The growing aging trend associated with a higher prevalence of chronic illnesses is increasing the demand for the development of person-centered practice in specific care settings. Knowing the person’s perception of the care and the care experience is essential to improving inpatient care toward person-centeredness. This study aims to characterize the perceptions of person-centered practice of hospitalized older adults with chronic illness at a Portuguese inpatient hospital department. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional approach was followed. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and health history questionnaire and the Person-Centered Practice Inventory - Care (PCPI-C). The effect of the different variables on each PCPI-C construct was determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results show that person-centered practice was positively perceived in the five constructs of the person-centered processes domain (M = 3.92; SD = 0.47). The highest-scored construct was working with the person’s beliefs and values (M = 4.12; SD = 0.51), and the lowest was working holistically (M = 3.68; SD = 0.70). No significant effect of the independent variables was found to influence the perceptions of any of the constructs in the person-centered processes domain. Conclusions: These results might indicate that person-centered processes are perceived uniquely by each person through individualized therapeutic relationships rather than a pattern of care shared by hospitalized older adults.
- Rehabilitation workforce challenges to implement person-centered carePublication . Fernandes, Júlio Belo; Vareta, Diana; Fernandes, Sónia; Almeida, Ana Silva; Peças, Dina; Ferreira, Noélia; Roldão, LilianaThere is an increasing emphasis on developing person-centered care in rehabilitation settings. However, this care practice has not been fully implemented due to several factors. This study explores rehabilitation workforce perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to implementing person-centered care (PCC). This was a quantitative descriptive study, which was developed based on interviews with 12 healthcare professionals from a private institution in the region of Lisbon and Tagus Valley in Portugal. The recruitment was made in October 2020. Braun, Clarke, Hayfield, and Terry’s content analysis was applied to the transcripts, and these were transcribed verbatim. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist were applied to this study. Participants described barriers such as an unsupportive organization and leadership, staff constraints, heavy workload, and resistance to change. Unique to this study, a patient’s clinical characteristics were identified as barriers to person-centered care. As facilitators, they described leadership, staff satisfaction, a positive physical environment, training and education, and shared decision-making. It is essential to understand the perceptions of the rehabilitation workforce, as they play an integral role in providing PCC. This study serves as a guide to facilitate person-centered care, as it provides an understanding of key barriers and facilitators for its implementation in rehabilitation settings.
