Hypothesis
What are healthcare professionals’ ratings and views of person-centred care in allo-HCT care?
Conclusion
Healthcare professionals rated person-centred care highly in discussing and assessing patients' needs, but identified areas for improvement in organizational and environmental aspects.
Supporting Evidence
- HCPs rated the mean total score of person-centred care as 45.31.
- Higher age and targeted PCC education were associated with higher PCC ratings.
- Participants expressed that time constraints hindered the provision of person-centred care.
- HCPs described PCC as seeing the patient as a capable individual with their own resources.
- Participants noted that patient involvement leads to higher satisfaction and tailored care.
Takeaway
Healthcare workers think it's important to treat patients as individuals and involve them in their care, but they feel they need more time and support to do this well.
Methodology
Cross-sectional study using quantitative and qualitative methods, including a survey with the PCC Assessment Tool (P-CAT).
Potential Biases
Self-reporting may lead to overly positive results due to social desirability.
Limitations
Low response rate (22%) and potential bias from social desirability; data from only one center for qualitative responses.
Participant Demographics
80% women, mean age 44 years, range 23-72 years.
