Summary: An interdisciplinary group in Sweden established the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC) to study person-centred care (PCC) in long-term illness, with a focus on three 'simple routines'. This position paper was accepted for publication in EJCN, and this review aims to present how PCC has been used in research and published in EJCN over the past five years, along with clinical implications and suggestions for future research in PCC.

Summary: This survey-based study highlights the adverse outcomes of prior authorization (PA) for cancer-related care. 22% of patients did not receive recommended care due to PA, and most respondents experienced delays in their oncology care. These delays were associated with increased anxiety, negative perception of the PA process, and patient administrative burden.

Summary: Asian-Pacific nations, home to over half the world's population, are facing the challenge of metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) has taken the lead in redefining the disease and adopting the term MAFLD along with positive diagnostic criteria. Their efforts aim to advance the science and practice of Hepatology, incorporate MAFLD in multidisciplinary care teams, and improve patient-centered care in the region.

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop and test the Patient-reported Experience Measure-Cancer (PREM-C) to reflect patients' perceptions of cancer care experiences. The PREM-C showed good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and external convergent and divergent validity, making it a potentially relevant measure of cancer patients' experiences of care. Its use could inform service providers, policy, and practice development in clinical settings.

Summary: This qualitative study using conversation analysis explored disagreements in person-centred care interactions between nurses and patients, finding that patients play a crucial role in knowledge co-production and decision-making, with the final authority. To facilitate co-production, the patient's role and responsibilities in interactions should be explicitly stated.

Summary: In order to embed person-centred care across the hospital environment, cultural changes are needed at organisational and ward levels. This includes leadership support, promotion of physical environments that support familiarisation and social interactions, an inclusive approach to carers, and the development of a culture of sharing knowledge and information. An evidence-based set of pointers for service change are described in the commentary.

Summary: Australia's First Nations Peoples, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, have a lower life expectancy due to cardiovascular diseases, especially ischaemic heart disease. Most of the research on this topic is focused on Central Australia and Far North Queensland, while a significant proportion of First Nations Peoples live in New South Wales. The onset of disease occurs at a younger age among First Nations Peoples, and they have higher rates of comorbidities, leading to poor health outcomes. Few cardiovascular interventions or programs specifically tailored to First Nations Peoples have been proven to be effective. The review emphasizes the need for more research and community partnerships to address this burden of disease.

Summary: This project aimed to develop key principles and best practices for co-design in health with First Nations Australians. Through online discussions and individual exchanges with stakeholders, a set of six key principles and twenty-seven associated best practices were established. These principles and practices provide a valuable starting point for future guidelines, toolkits, reporting standards, and evaluation criteria for co-design with First Nations Australians.

Summary: This study examines clinicians' confidence, views and current practices when conducting cognitive assessments with Aboriginal Australian clients. The results show that clients' age, education, and language of origin influence the likelihood of clinicians' use of standardised cognitive assessment measures with Aboriginal people. Clinicians reported feeling only slightly more confident working with non-Indigenous clients than Aboriginal clients. There is also a lack of consistency in test selection among clinicians.

Summary: Investigating changes in Indigenous identification among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians was made possible by linking census data over time. This study focused on individuals who identified as Indigenous in the 2011 census and then changed their identification to non-Indigenous in the 2016 census. Transition probabilities were calculated for various personal characteristics to examine the impact of life-course transitions on identity change. Age, sex, employment, mixed ancestry, interstate migration, and living arrangements were found to have the strongest associations with transitioning to a non-Indigenous identity. The study challenges the adequacy of using an origin-based identity question to capture the complex ethnic histories of Indigenous Australians.

Summary: This study investigated the natural history and risk factors of oral HPV infections in an Australian Indigenous cohort. Data was collected from Indigenous Australians aged 18+ years through face-to-face interviews and saliva samples. The prevalence, incidence, and persistence of oral HPV infection were high in this population, with oral sex behaviors and recreational drug use identified as risk factors for high-risk HPV infection.

Summary: Photovoice is an emerging qualitative research method that engages community members in highlighting their experiences and initiating change. This systematic review focuses on the usage, benefits, and challenges of conducting Photovoice research with Indigenous young people in Canada, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, and the United States. The review reveals variability in how Photovoice has been applied, but also highlights commonalities such as participant involvement in data collection and analysis.
