Changes in policy towards a healthcare approach viewing patients as persons provide calls for person-centred healthcare practices. The objective of this scoping review was to present an overview of the international literature on PCC.
Database-specific search string including index terms and free text words related to PCC were constructed to identify relevant literature indexed in PubMed, Scopus, PsychINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science. Two different methods of combined manual and computer-assisted screening were applied to identify citations to be included in the review.
In total, 1,351 publications were included, whereof theoretical and empirical studies were most prevalent in the sample. For the latter, the most common setting was hospital care. The study population was most often health professionals or patients. The most frequently used term was patient-centred, followed by person-centred and family-centred. Research from six continents was included. An exploration of collaborations and research clusters has revealed several clusters.
This review provides a snapshot of the literature on PCC. The lack of clarity in terminology presents barriers to comprehensively overviewing the vast amount of available research within the field, which in turn presents challenges for research-based policy and practice development.
医疗保健方式将患者视为人的政策变化促使人们呼吁采用以患者为中心的医疗保健实践。本范围综述的目的是概述关于以患者为中心的护理（PCC）的国际文献。
构建特定数据库的搜索字符串，包括与PCC相关的索引词和自由文本词，以识别在PubMed、Scopus、PsychINFO、CINAHL和Web of Science中索引的相关文献。应用两种不同的手动和计算机辅助相结合的筛选方法来识别纳入综述的引文。
总共纳入了1351篇出版物，其中理论和实证研究在样本中最为普遍。对于实证研究，最常见的环境是医院护理。研究人群最常是卫生专业人员或患者。最常用的术语是“以患者为中心”，其次是“以人为本”和“以家庭为中心”。纳入了来自六大洲的研究。对合作和研究集群的探索揭示了几个集群。
本综述提供了关于PCC文献的简要概况。术语缺乏清晰度为全面概述该领域大量现有研究带来了障碍，这反过来又给基于研究的政策和实践发展带来了挑战。
