The present research, carried out in the year 2023, aimed to identify and prioritize existing dimensions and elements of patient-centered care for chronic diseases.
Methods:
Firstly, multiple databases including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, PubMed and ProQuest were searched. Secondly, 35 chronic patients were interviewed; Finally, a sample of 30 experts familiar with the context was asked to rank the dimensions and elements of patient-centered care using Best-Worst method.
Results:
The study identified 6 dimensions and 13 elements of patient-centered care in chronic diseases. The findings indicated that accessibility, quality, education, timeliness and affordability were the five elements that ranked highest in importance for designing and implementing patient-centered care interventions for chronic diseases.
Conclusion:
The results presented that Iranian patients with chronic diseases exhibit a positive attitude towards paternalistic behavior and often prefer others to make the best therapeutic decisions on their behalf.
