Background: Person-centered care is critical to quality health care, but difficult to implement. This challenge is attributed to cultural factors derived from group values about work practices. Work-based educational interventions allow nurses to develop shared meanings of practice, in this case, promoting the value of person-centered care.
Method: A 30-minute, work-based educational intervention incorporating reflection on videorecorded practice scenarios was evaluated with a quasi-experimental pre-post design. Nurses (N = 119) completed a survey, including a subset of 16 items from the Person-Centred Practice Inventory-Staff, before and immediately after the intervention.
Results: Nurses' awareness of what patients value about their care, the importance of connecting with the patient, and the value of integrating human elements into actions increased after the intervention. Nurses' perceptions of how they would include patients and their preferences in care decisions did not significantly change.
Conclusion: Educational techniques that allow nursing teams to reflect on practice may help with implementation of person-centered care. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(6):303-308.].
