| dc.description.abstract | Background: The growing aging trend associated with a higher prevalence of chronic illnesses is increasing the demand for the development of person-centered practice in specific care settings. Knowing the person’s perception of the care and the care experience is essential to improving inpatient care toward person-centeredness. This study aims to characterize the perceptions of person-centered practice of hospitalized older adults with chronic illness at a Portuguese inpatient hospital department. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional approach was followed. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and health history questionnaire and the Person-Centered Practice Inventory - Care (PCPI-C). The effect of the different variables on each PCPI-C construct was determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The results show that person-centered practice was positively perceived in the five constructs of the person-centered processes domain (M = 3.92; SD = 0.47). The highest-scored construct was working with the person’s beliefs and values (M = 4.12; SD = 0.51), and the lowest was working holistically (M = 3.68; SD = 0.70). No significant effect of the independent variables was found to influence the perceptions of any of the constructs in the person-centered processes domain. Conclusions: These results might indicate that person-centered processes are perceived uniquely by each person through individualized therapeutic relationships rather than a pattern of care shared by hospitalized older adults. | eng |
