Patient-centeredness in Physiotherapy - A literature mapping review

Conclusion: The mapping suggests an incipient awareness of patient-centeredness within the research field of physiotherapy. Empirical studies dominate the field, whereas conceptual and critical papers seem in need of wider acknowledgment. The research field is divided into two mutually disconnected trends: one concerned with understanding the complexity of clinical practice and patients' experiences of treatment and illness, and another trend concerned with solving "the problem" of patient involvement.PMID:34096445 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2021.1923095
