About this study
Official title: Development of the PEC-REHAB Instrument: Enhancing and Measuring Person-Centeredness in Rehabilitation Services, a Qualitative Study
This research project aims to integrate insights from marketing and rehabilitation sciences to investigate Person Centered in rehabilitation.
The research objectives are
Read more
- to better understand what Person Centered Rehabilitation means in rehabilitation,
- to understand how Person Centered Rehabilitation can be enhanced
- to develop an instrument that can be used as a quality indicator to evaluate and monitor Person Centered Rehabilitation in rehabilitation
- to understand the impact of Person Centered Rehabilitation on key outcomes in rehabilitation.
To recruit respondents, we will work together with different rehabilitation centers and hospitals with a rehabilitation department.
The interviews will be based on the Trajectory Touchpoint Technique. The interviews will be transcribed and uploaded in NVivo 14. To code the data, we will use the Gioia method which offers a systematic approach to bring qualitative rigor in qualitative research and contains of four steps.
- We will code the data based on first-order terms.
- we will systematically examine these first-order terms to organize them into second-order theory-centric themes.
- we will investigate whether it is possible to categorize the second-order themes into aggregate dimensions which serve to summarize the key components of the emerging theory
- when we have the full set of first-order terms, second-order themes and aggregate dimensions, we will have all ingredients for building a data structure. The data structure provides a graphical presentation of how we progressed from raw data to themes and dimensions.
Read the detailed description
Person-centeredness (PEC) has emerged as a key concept in modern healthcare, marking a shift away from disease-centered models toward approaches that acknowledge and respond to the unique needs, wishes, and contexts of each individual. Within rehabilitation services, this holistic orientation is especially pertinent, given the complex interplay between physical, emotional, psychological, and social factors influencing recovery and reintegration into daily life.
Despite growing recognition of its importance, PEC remains under-defined and insufficiently operationalized in rehabilitation settings. Current efforts to assess PEC tend to focus on outcomes such as patient satisfaction or functional status, rather than directly measuring the degree to which care is aligned with individual needs and preferences. A valid and reliable measurement instrument to evaluate PEC from the patient's perspective is currently lacking.
This study addresses that gap by developing the PEC-REHAB instrument. It aims to conceptualize PEC in rehabilitation, identify its key dimensions, explore ways to enhance PEC, and ultimately validate a tool to serve as a quality indicator. This protocol describes the second step of the qualitative phase of the study, which consists of in-depth interviews with patients and their informal caregivers.
The qualitative research follows a two-step structure:
- Interviews and focus groups with rehabilitation care professionals.
- In-depth interviews with patients and their relatives.
Data collection in this second step uses the Trajectory Touchpoint Technique (TTT)-a person-centered qualitative methodology that helps respondents articulate their lived experiences through visual prompts representing key stages of the rehabilitation journey. These stages include:
- First symptoms
- Pre-arrival planning
- Admission
- Stay in the rehabilitation center or department
- Discharge and aftercare
Each stage is represented by a laminated picture card showing various potential touchpoints. Respondents are encouraged to use these cards flexibly to narrate their experiences, ensuring a comprehensive yet personalized account of their rehabilitation journey. The TTT approach fosters inclusivity, reduces interviewer bias, and enhances respondent engagement.
The interviews also include semi-structured questions focused on:
- Respondents' understanding and experience of person-centeredness
- Perceived gaps and areas for improvement in PEC delivery
- The perceived importance and impact of PEC on well-being
All interviews will be audio-recorded with consent and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis will follow the Gioia methodology, a rigorous approach to qualitative coding that progresses through:
- First-order coding based on respondents' own words
- Development of second-order theory-based themes
- Aggregation into overarching dimensions
- Creation of a structured data model to inform theory development
Insights derived from this qualitative phase will directly inform the design and content of the PEC-REHAB instrument. The tool will be validated in a subsequent quantitative phase and used to assess whether rehabilitation services align with person-centered care principles from the patient's perspective.
Ultimately, this research aims to support the implementation of PEC in rehabilitation, provide actionable quality indicators, and contribute to improved outcomes by ensuring that rehabilitation services respond to the individuality of each patient.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Conventional care with semi-structured interviews and focus groupsOther
In semi-structured individual interviews, employees of healthcare organisations are asked about their experiences, opinions and knowledge on person-centredness. This makes it possible to gather in-depth insights. This approach will mainly be used when surveying e.g. board members, managers, representatives of patient organisations. In addition, focus groups (6 to 8 people) will be organised. This is especially valuable when surveying doctors, paramedics and nurses. Focus groups make it possible to survey several respondents at the same time, encourage spontaneous conversations and share experiences. The interaction between participants can also ensure that additional perspectives and insights are covered.
In-depth interviews with patients and relativesOther
The objective is to thoroughly understand what PEC means in rehabilitation. Although PEC can be understood as 'being responsive to the unique wishes and needs of the individual person', there still is a lack of consensus about its exact conceptualization in the rehabilitation context (Yun and Choi 2019). Prior work often only considers PEC in terms of shared decision making and goal setting, while the holistic perspective on the patient as a whole person is largely neglected (Yun and Choi 2019). This qualitative phase thus focuses on understanding PEC, its dimensions and the unique wishes and needs of patients in rehabilitation services. In addition, we gather insights regarding the potential enhancement of PEC in rehabilitation. The interviews are based on the Trajectory Touchpoint Technique (TTT; Sudbury-Riley et al. 2020a; 2020b) which allows us to uncover the unique experiences of respondents (i.e., patients, relatives, informal caregivers). The TTT is especially suited fo

Conventional care with additional focusgroupsOther
In semi-structured individual interviews, students of healthcare organisations are asked about their experiences, opinions and knowledge on person-centredness. The focus groups will be supported by the Lego® Serious Play (LSP) will be used to collect in-depth insights from students. This design allows flexibility in questioning, while still following a consistent structure to explore common themes across focus groups. The use of Lego encourages participants to think in new ways.
