Person-centred care emphasizes holistic well-being and ethical rights. Clarifying this term, distinct from patient-centred or client-centred care, aids healthcare professionals and researchers.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare studies
  • Nursing research
  • Medical ethics

Background:

  • Person-centred care has been prevalent in literature since the mid-1990s.
  • It requires healthcare staff to prioritize person-centredness in relationships and care planning.
  • Early theorists recognized the importance of ethical/legal rights and holistic care for well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define person-centredness through a literature review and concept analysis.
  • To identify and profile the key attributes of person-centredness.
  • To clarify terminology confusion between person-centred, patient-centred, and client-centred care.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Concept analysis was employed to define person-centredness.

  • Attributes were profiled based on existing theoretical work.

    • Main Results:

    • Person-centredness encompasses ethical/legal rights and holistic care.
    • The terms person-centred, patient-centred, and client-centred are often used interchangeably, causing confusion.
    • Patient- or client-centred care may shift power dynamics towards the healthcare provider by focusing on illness.

    Conclusions:

    • Clarification of person-centredness is needed to ensure consistent application in research and practice.
    • Distinguishing person-centred care from patient- or client-centred care is crucial.
    • Adopting a unified term will aid future researchers and practitioners in applying person-centred principles effectively.
