Background:
To prepare nursing students to deliver high-quality care, educators need strategies to foster person-centered care (PCC).
Purpose:
This pilot study evaluated an intervention with interactive case studies on undergraduate nursing students' PCC competency.
Methods:
We conducted a pilot study with sophomore undergraduate nursing students ( n = 39) from a Midwestern US university. We developed a 90-minute class seminar with interactive case studies highlighting how patient preferences, values, and circumstances could influence fall risk. We assessed PCC using the Patient-Centered Care Competency Scale.
Results:
Although there was no statistically significant change in overall PCC competency before and after the intervention, we noted a small to medium effect size on PCC competency per Cohen's d standards ( d = 0.35). Content analysis of students' open-ended responses reflected PCC and clustered into 5 themes.
Conclusions:
Findings suggest that educators may use interactive case studies to foster nursing student PCC competency.
