Purpose:
The implementation of person-centred care varies across different contexts. This may be due to various barriers such as context, different patient populations, care providers and how patients understand what constitutes care. Paediatric healthcare practitioners recognise this gap and require a person-centred care training programme tailored to the needs of children in healthcare. The study aimed to apply a co-design methodology to adapt and test a paediatric person-centred care training programme for healthcare practitioners working at a private hospital in South Africa.
Design And Methods:
A qualitative participatory action research methodology using a co-design approach was followed. The co-design approach included six principles or steps administered during six focus groups with 30 paediatric stakeholders (e.g., nursing managers, nurses, a paediatric gastroenterologist, a child life specialist, a counsellor, a dietician, and researchers).
Results:
The results of this study included the adaptation of a paediatric person-centred care training programme for healthcare practitioners working at a private hospital in South Africa. The outcomes of the co-design process included adaptations to the structure and format of the programme to ensure contextual and cultural relevance. During a needs analysis, the content of the identified programme was appropriate.
Conclusion:
The outcome of this study was the co-design of a paediatric person-centred care training programme that is human-centred, tangible, and collaborative. This study emphasised the importance of contextual factors when considering implementing a programme designed and developed in another context.
