In order to improve these challenges, it is essential for people to take their own health as their own, choose their own actions to protect their lives and health, and become the main actors in their own care.¹⁾In 2003, St. Luke's International University, a Japanese university of nursing, began a partnership to improve this situation. To improve this situation, since 2003, St. Luke's International University, one of Japan's leading nursing universities, has been working as a partner to create a society in which citizens proactively create their own health by themselves.nursing postPioneering research on the state of the⁸⁾This was the beginning of the use of the term "people-centered care" as a new form of care that was citizen-driven rather than traditionally medical provider-driven.

＜用語の説明＞
Partnerships between citizens and health professionals are essential to achieving people-centered care and include the following eight elements³⁾The following are some of the ways in which citizens and healthcare professionals can work together. These include citizens and healthcare professionals having the following attitudes: (1) understanding each other, (2) trusting each other, (3) respecting each other, (4) utilizing each other's strengths, (5) taking on each other's roles, (6) overcoming challenges together, (7) sharing decision-making, and (8) learning together3). The process of people-centered care begins when either citizens or health care providers identify individual or community health problems. Citizens then take the initiative and partner with health care providers to jointly determine goals, plan, implement, evaluate, and share the results. This is described as the sequence of people-centered care.³⁾The outcomes of people-centered care include "goals are achieved" that are defined jointly by citizens and professionals, and "personal power (personal transformation)" that leads to improved quality of life and motivation for each citizen and health care professional. The outcomes of people-centered care are expected to be threefold: "achievement of goals" set by citizens and professionals together, "personal empowerment" (individual transformation) that leads to improved quality of life and motivation of citizens and healthcare professionals, and "social change" (social transformation), such as the development of new care and introduction of new systems.3) The WHO states that the outcomes of people-centered care are to make healthcare more accessible to people and to reduce the use of unnecessary healthcare services. The WHO also mentions that the outcomes of people-centered care include making healthcare more accessible to people and reducing healthcare costs by reducing the use of unnecessary healthcare services.4) The WHO also states that people-centered care is expected to "improve the quality of life of people who are engaged in healthcare," "empower individuals (individual transformation)," and "change society (social transformation)," such as the development of new care and the introduction of new systems.5)

An analogous term is "patient-centered care. Although similar in that it focuses on the patient, the concept of people-centered care is characterized by the fact that the target of care is not regarded as a sick "patient," but as a "citizen" living in the community.
Person-centered care is used as a form of dementia care that respects the subject as a person. care is similar to people-centered care, but people-centered care considers the group in the community as the object of care, and also considers "social transformation" as an outcome of care from the beginning of the approach.
