Becoming part of an upwards spiral: Meanings of being person-centred in nursing homes
Previous research suggests that person- centred care is positive for people living in nursing homes, but less is known on what motivates people working in nursing homes to be person- centred. Previous research has focused on person-centred care in relation to people in need of care, which may lead to a risk of viewing person- centred care as a means to achieve quality of care, and not as a means in itself. This study highlights health aspects of being person- centred from the perspective of people working in nursing homes, and complements previous research that describes the impact of person- centred care on people in need of care.
