About this Research Topic
Given the interest in Volume 1 of this research topic, we are pleased to announce the launch of Vol II: Person-Centred Rehabilitation – Theory, Practice and Research.
Volume 1 of this topic explored the emerging importance of person-centredness as a philosophical concept in rehabilitation practice. The topic attracted various manuscripts that addressed how person-centredness is being developed conceptually and how it is being applied in rehabilitation. The collection illustrated the value of using theoretically informed frameworks to enhance our understanding of person-centred rehabilitation practice. We are revisiting the topic to review how the field has advanced since we launched the topic in 2021. As well as exploring philosophy, culture and practice in person-centred rehabilitation, we are seeking papers that add ideas about human flourishing and flourishing practices to explore how they complement and augment existing ideas in person-centred rehabilitation.
Person-centred approaches in healthcare acknowledge personhood and not just biological illness as central to care and decision-making. Recognising that people are unique in their beliefs, values and experiences, person-centred healthcare seeks to foster respect and mutual understanding for decision-making, centred on and with the person and significant others within their unique context. A person-centred approach also pays attention to the personhood of healthcare providers and the culture and context that enable such practices to be developed and sustained.
This research topic aims to explore current thinking in person-centred rehabilitation research, to expand thinking within the field to advance knowledge and rehabilitation practice. By exploring philosophical and conceptual underpinnings of person-centred rehabilitation, as well as definitions, effectiveness and experiences of those delivering and receiving rehabilitation, this series of articles will challenge assumptions and raise and address questions to provide a step change in person-centred rehabilitation practice.
Articles reporting empirical qualitative and quantitative research, intervention development and testing, ethnographic research, systematic and narrative reviews, discussion pieces, measurement and methodological studies and case studies are invited that advance understanding of person-centred rehabilitation.
Topics of specific interest include:
• Conceptual and theoretical frameworks for rehabilitation
• Person-centred research in rehabilitation
