Implementation of person-centred care in the health profession university degree courses in Sweden

The implementation of person-centred care presents challenges, one of which is the knowledge of person-centred care. Obstacles to the introduction of person-centred care in different activities have been investigated, and the researchers in those projects have been able to identify various factors that hinder or facilitate the introduction of person-centred care. In order to facilitate the introduction of person-centred care in Sweden, we need to be able to identify the enablers and obstacles to implementing person-centred care in degree programmes. A first step is to investigate how far each Swedish university course has come in terms of the introduction of person-centred care by reviewing the governing documents such as syllabus and curricula. This overview will be followed up with interviews with the manager and teachers on each course
