“…Nurses in this study also discussed the negative impact of the hostility of patients, families and management and authoritarian and condescending attitudes of physicians on PCC. In line with previous research (Lateef & Mhlongo, 2020; Russell, 2021), nurses desired autonomy, respect and appreciation from the healthcare team and management to focus on their self‐care and improve the quality of care for complex patients. This finding brings to attention the role of interprofessional collaboration and organisational support in improving PCC quality for patients.…”

“…The power struggles among nurses and physicians and the hostility towards nurses have been an ongoing issue in various contexts (Kieft et al, 2014; Lateef & Mhlongo, 2020; Leake, 2018) and affect the quality of PCC (Kieft et al, 2014; Lateef & Mhlongo, 2020). Nurses in this study also discussed the negative impact of the hostility of patients, families and management and authoritarian and condescending attitudes of physicians on PCC.…”

Aims and Objectives To determine nurses’ perceived barriers to the delivery of person‐centred care to complex patients with multiple chronic conditions in acute care settings. Background Complex patients have multiple physical and mental health problems, and their life is also greatly affected by sociocultural and economic determinants of health. These patients require person‐centred care, but nurses often find it challenging to provide effective care to these patients due to their complex health needs. Design A descriptive qualitative design was used. The COREQ guidelines were followed for reporting. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 19 nurses in two hospitals. Data were analysed using deductive thematic analysis guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework, which entails 14 domains about factors affecting behaviours. Results The key barriers were identified under environmental context and resources, social influences, emotions, knowledge and skills domains. Deep‐rooted social issues delay patients’ health‐seeking and nurses’ abilities to understand patients’ needs and discern appropriate care. Interpersonal hostility influenced nurse–patient–families interactions, and doctor–nurses conflicts affected collaborative efforts towards optimal care. Conclusions Nurses’ perceived barriers to care were intertwined with the deep‐rooted social and cultural beliefs about nurses’ image, patients’ expectations and families’ preference for home remedies over specialised nursing care. These barriers to person‐centred care demonstrate an intricate interplay of personal, social and organisational issues and power struggles. Multifaceted implementation strategies targeting environmental context and resources, social influences, emotions, knowledge and skills domains may be beneficial to enable nurses to provide better person‐centred care to complex patients. Relevance to clinical practice Designing implementation facilitation teams, organising person‐centred care grand rounds, and allocation of stress management resources to address hostility, social‐cultural influences, and organisational barriers is essential. Nurses could focus on their self‐awareness and collaborative skills to address emotional and interprofessional conflicts.

“…Today, nurses are task oriented instead of patient-centeredness due to many hurdles [ 30 , 31 ], such as healthcare providers communication, structural factor like hospital size, work overload, and organisational factor [ 32 , 33 ]. There is one resounding response to these problems for centuries in the literature of nursing that is PCC concept [ 34 , 35 ].…”

Background Patient-centered care (PCC) approach has continued to gain recognition globally as the key to providing quality healthcare. However, this concept is not fully integrated into the management of primary health care (PHC) in existing nursing practice due to numerous challenges. Among these challenges is the perception of nursing on PCC in the Primary Health Care system. This study seeks to present the results of qualitative research performed at various selected PHC centres on nurses’ perceptions in PCC practice. This study aim was to explore the perception of nurses on PCC. Methods A qualitative action research approach was adopted. The study involved 30 local government PHC centres located in Osun State Southwest of the federal republic of Nigeria. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview guide questions. Thereafter, data analysis was performed using thematic analysis and NVivo 12 software to generate themes, subthemes, and codes. Results PCC perceptions of nurses that was revealed in our findings were categorised into positive and negative themes. The negative themes include: poor approach by the nurses and lack of enforcement agency. The positive themes that emerged include: outcome driven healthcare, valued care provider, communication to sharpen care and driven healthcare service. Conclusion There is need for continuous training, and upgrading of nurses in line with global recommended standards of providing quality healthcare service delivery to the people. Therefore, the federal and state governments and local government council through the Nursing and Midwifery Council body should regulate, supervise, monitor and enforce the use and implementation of PCC in the PHC healthcare system.

“…When patients are provided with accurate and clear information through effective partnership and collaboration, they can have a better understanding of what they are required to do. [ 44 ] In addition, nurses can educate patients about their rights to participate in care and about the questions they may ask care providers to obtain the information they need to make care decisions. Patient empowerment has been advocated as a way for patients to participate in the self-management of chronic diseases.…”
