Reflection Paper on Person-Centered Approach in Health Care and Research in Strabismus Field

This paper reflects a personal conclusions on person-centred care practice, based on my own research in strabismus field. Theoretical and practical considerations of the person-centred approach are discussed. Health services struggle to ensure health care in a “person-centered” way, but the general concept also called personcentered care is an ethical one: patients should be treated as “persons.” Person-centred practice needs to be well facilitated in order to flourish the healthcare framework. However, the literature is sometimes unclear about the nature of these person-centred actions and questions remain about how to provide and measure clinical outcomes of personcentred care while being engaged with others in real health practice contexts. “humanistic psychology” [5]. Studying the literature I realized that despite many definitions of person centred and their differences one thing is common for all of them: is that the patient should be treated as a “human being”/“person”/“individual” [5-10]. Person-centered therapy, which is also known as client-centered, non-directive or Rogerian therapy based on phenomenological approach to personality and on the idea that each individual is a skilled expert for himself and that people are able to find their own solutions to their own problems [11,12]. Patients often must pass through a fragmented health care system and adapt to the procedures established by health care organizations and professionals, rather than receiving care designed to focus on the individual patient’s preferences and values. Nowadays, Person-centered care is widely considered to be a “key component of effective illness management” [13]. Altogether, in the domain of healthcare, there are gaps in knowledge about how something might work better and ideas for improvement. That is why a very important aspect of healthcare system has always been the research. Science today is changing rapidly and becoming more and more complex. Scientific research plays a very important role in maintaining health, avoiding and combating diseases. Research helps us get new knowledge and develop new and proper tools for the use of existing one. The world around us does not give up its secrets easily and some subjects required us to go beyond our personal knowledge and experiences. It is very hard to discover and sometimes even harder to prove our hypothesis and beliefs. So, all these staff made me begin my own research on one of the topic which is a challenge for me-strabismus. Moreover the proper research stretches my mind and involves also collaboration with different specialists. Rogers [14] went further by saying that science is based upon the subjective experience of a person, and the knowledge we gain from science depend upon our values and how we chose to understand, interpret and use the knowledge.
