Journal: Nephron
Submission Deadline: Closed
Nephron is calling for research articles, reviews, and case studies that present novel insights into person-centered healthcare in nephrology for the "World Kidney Health" section of the journal. Person-centered healthcare is more than patient-centered healthcare in that the patient (and carers such as family members) is an equal partner in the design and co-production of kidney healthcare. Person-centered healthcare is an approach to practice established through the formation and fostering of mutual and respectful relationships between all healthcare providers, service users (patients/consumers), and others significant to them in their lives.
Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:
- Person-centered care along the chronic kidney disease trajectory
- Person-centered care and its role and potential for an integrated response to health needs of people living with kidney failure
- Service delivery approaches to embedding person-centered care in kidney services
- Pilot and/or feasibility studies of person-centered care interventions for people with kidney disease/failure and/or receiving kidney replacement therapy
- Qualitative studies of patients or carers receiving person-centered care
- Facilitators and barriers to delivering person-centered care
- Value-based healthcare approaches or cost-effectiveness of delivery person-centered care in kidney services
Please select the option “Call for Papers: Person-Centered Healthcare in Nephrology” when submitting your manuscript and mention this Call for Papers in your cover letter.
