The diagram presents how social competence takes shape in the context of person-centred care.
Note that in working with the MOHLTC's five-principle formulation, we have made minor modifications to how the principles are named and organized as part of the work of fleshing out the principles for the context of persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
We put each treatment plan into the context of a person's life, a person's goals, and the person's spirit.
Likewise, the importance of considering the wider clinical and personal context of the person when interpreting results should be acknowledged: for example, some of these patients were also affected by (non-ocular) co-morbidities, often age-related, which influenced their perspectives.
Nine patients (60.0%) felt that the potential benefits need to be contrasted against the costs of antidepressant treatment in the individual context of each person.
In five experiments, we manipulated whether behaviors are presented concretely (i.e. with reference to a specific person, instantiated in the particular context of that person's life) or abstractly (i.e. with reference to a category of people or behaviors across generalized contexts).
The concrete version makes reference to a particular person and describes behaviors as specifically instantiated in the context of that person's life (e.g. Jenny has developed the strong belief that the man living next door is her husband), as in casebook training manuals for learning nosologies such as DSM-5 Clinical Cases (Barnhill, 2013).
For example, participants in our studies might read about either how some people stay calm during competitive situations (abstract description described generally) or how Allen stayed calm during a figure-skating competition (concrete, individual case described within the specific context of that person's life).
The first theme was about how the person providing first aid needed to understand and assess symptoms of mental illness within the cultural context of the person they were helping.
Shared decision making (SDM) is a process whereby a person makes decisions with a healthcare professional, considering the available evidence regarding options being considered, in the context of the person's needs, values and preferences [ 5].
