Person-centredness – the ‘state’ of the art

Health status and self‐management in patients with inflammatory arthritis—A five‐year follow‐up study after nurse‐led patient education

“…Other researchers (Dures et al, ; Zuidema, Repping‐Wuts, Evers, Van Gaal, & Van Achterberg, )have also stated that that individualized and tailored psychological support is needed throughout the disease trajectory, where nurses and other healthcare professionals must acknowledge that patients have different informational, emotional, social and practical needs (Zuidema et al, ). Also, to maintain or strengthen patients' health and quality of life, nurses need to see patients as equal partners that possess an expertise in living with their chronic illnesses (Ekman et al, ; McCormack et al, ; Miles, ).…”

Adaption, benefit and quality of care associated with primary nursing in an acute inpatient setting: A cross‐sectional descriptive study

“…The patient's experience has been posited as an important pillar of quality of care (McMillan et al, 2013;Morgan & Yoder, 2012) and has been found to be positively linked with safety and clinical effectiveness (Doyle, Lennox, & Bell, 2013), such as emotional health, recovery and self-management (Mead, Bower, & Hann, 2002;Rathert, Wyrwich, & Boren, 2013;Stewart et al, 2000). As a consequence, a philosophy of person-centredness has been proposed to ensure positive patient experiences and co-participation in inpatient settings (McCormack & McCance, 2016;McCormack et al, 2015). Models of care delivery, such as primary nursing, which allow nurses to engage in relationshipbased interactions with patients to plan and coordinate care over time, are considered essential to fight fragmentation and to achieve quality, person-centred nursing care (Manthey, 2003;Tiedeman & Lookinland, 2004).…”

Shared decision‐making in people with chronic disease: Integrating the biological, social and lived experiences is a key responsibility of nurses

“…Shared decision‐making (SDM) is a collaborative process through which patients and their providers make healthcare decisions together, based on the best scientific evidence available and the health professional's experience, as well as the patient's values and preferences (Chewning et al, ). This key feature of person‐centred care is advocated widely as being crucial for successful disease management in chronic diseases (de Wit, ; Ekman et al, ; McCormack et al, ; Voshaar, Nota, van de Laar, & van den Bemt, ). Despite this, its implementation continues to be delayed.…”
