Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue will be focused on the healthcare core competency of patient-centered care. Specifically, we are seeking submissions on the provision and delivery of patient-centered care in sports medicine, athletic training, physical medicine, physical therapy, and orthopaedics. The articles can be quantitative or qualitative reports. Priority will be placed on articles exploring the extent to which healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, athletic trainers, etc.) provide patient-centered care. The Special Issue will continue to explore and document best practices within sports medicine when delivering patient-centered care for work, life, and sport in the physically active.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Shared decision making; Fear and anxiety relief; Goal setting; Guidance and support for support systems; Self-management & care strategies; Health literacy and communication strategies; Social determinants of health & cultural considerations; Access to care; Patient education; Use of disablement models (e.g., Nagi, WHO ICF).
