Health and Social Care Professionals' Perspectives of the Desired Interprofessional Collaboration in Frequent Attenders' Person-Centred Care: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThe aim of the study was to describe the desired nature of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in person-centred care (PCC) for frequent attenders (FA). The study employed a futures thinking approach to create an alternative vision of the future, aiming to understand how professionals should collaborate across organisational boundaries to achieve successful integration in person-centred care for FAs.
methodsThe semi-structured interviews with social and healthcare professionals (n = 38) delivering care and services for frequent attenders were conducted in three public health and social care organisations in Southern Finland. Inductive content analysis was used. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee for Human Sciences at the University of Turku, and research permissions were secured from all participating organisations. Research participants confirmed their voluntary participation through electronic informed consent.
resultsSocial and health care professionals described the desired interprofessional collaboration in person-centred care for FAs through a unified operating culture and values and integrated and adaptive care management. It was described through continuous co-creation of joint networks, outreach interprofessional practices and fostering a collaborative culture among social and healthcare professionals and other stakeholders across organisations. FAs and their close ones are seen as key members of the interprofessional team, collaborating with professionals to construct and maintain a holistic view of the FA, ensuring seamless service interfaces.
conclusionIn the future the desired IPC can be achieved by co-creating and implementing cross-organisational practices and investing in nurturing innovation-oriented professionals who serve as bridge-builders across sectors. Furthermore, interprofessional learning, the involvement of experts by experience, and training in co-creation and flexible networking skills enhance professionals' capacity to address the complex needs of FAs in the future.
