Summary
This study introduces a model for person-centred care to enhance pharmaceutical and clinical pharmacy practices. It guides pharmacists in delivering patient-centred services in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Pharmacy Practice
- Patient-Centred Care
Background:
- Healthcare systems globally are shifting towards person-centred care models.
- Existing literature lacks specific guidance on integrating person-centred care into pharmaceutical and clinical pharmacy.
- This gap hinders the effective implementation of patient-centred pharmaceutical services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To adapt and apply a validated person-centred care model to clinical pharmacy.
- To provide practical guidance for outpatient and inpatient pharmacists.
- To enhance the delivery of person-centred pharmaceutical care.
Main Methods:
- Application of a national multidisciplinary research centre's person-centred care model.
- Analysis of clinical work tasks for outpatient and inpatient pharmacists.
- Description of practical implementation strategies for person-centred pharmaceutical care.
Main Results:
- The study successfully adapted a person-centred care model for pharmacy practice.
- Specific applications for outpatient and inpatient settings were detailed.
- The findings illustrate how pharmaceutical care can be made more patient-centred.
Conclusions:
- A framework exists to guide the integration of person-centred care in pharmacy.
- Implementation of this model can improve patient experiences and outcomes.
- Further research should explore the impact of person-centred pharmaceutical care.

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.
