Patient-Centred Care
Primarily, patient-centred care is a well-known concept in the healthcare world. Although
there exist varied interpretations by different persons due to its variable nature. In that case, its
applicability and characteristics may not be clearly understood among different parties.
Therefore, this piece seeks to identify the concept of patient-centred care, theories, and practices
tied to it via in-depth analysis of what it entails and its value, especially to nurses. This reflection
piece will employ Graham Gibb’s reflective model so as to almost wholly shed light on patient-
centred care. It will entail a well-drafted description, feelings evoked, evaluation, analysis,
conclusion, and an action plan to cement the whole concept.
Description
The little knowledge I had gathered from class teaching steered me to look into person-
centred care at great depth. In brief, it is a healthcare practice that entails taking care of patients
and in some cases, their families as well in ways deemed valuable and meaningful. Moreover, it
goes far and beyond listening, informing and overall involvement of patients in their care. It
places focus on meeting the healthcare needs of a patient with the overall goal of empowering
patients to be actively involved in their wellness. That is to say, patients establish a partnership
with healthcare practitioners. The practitioners then go forth to treat patients from a clinical
perspective whilst heeding to emotions, spiritual, financial, and spiritual states.
Patient-centred care (PCC) has taken a shift to be one of the key purposes for the
improvement of healthcare as a whole. Some of the responsibilities that come with person-
centred care including but not limited to the provision of care that is respective to or respectful
