In Theoretically Framing Person-centredness in Nursing and Healthcare

Person-centredness remains widely adopted yet inconsistently defined across healthcare disciplines, limiting rigorous implementation and evaluation. Humanising Healthcare presents the Person-centred Nursing Framework and Person-centred Practice Framework, two globally adopted mid-range theories translated into multiple languages. Applied in over 31 countries, these theories guide design, delivery, and assessment of person-centred practices.

Central to this book is an extensive evidence-base of collaborative research derived from these frameworks, alongside measurement and evaluation methods for assessing processes and outcomes. Chapters address philosophical and conceptual ideas underpinning person-centredness, ecological perspectives on health and care systems, workforce developments for effective care provision, and implementation perspectives that adopt a whole-systems approach. Through this collected body of work, the book addresses the challenging problem of adopting, implementing and sustaining person-centred practice cultures at scale.

Readers will also find:



Detailed analysis of how person-centred principles underpin healthcare policy, strategy, and service-delivery models across international systems
Practical examples of workplace culture change using the frameworks as decision-making guides for healthcare teams
Discussion of public engagement strategies that develop healthcare services responsive to individual patient and community need
Methods for articulating the distinctive contribution of person-centred practices to patient, family, and system outcomes

This book is designed for qualified healthcare practitioners, educators, and students engaged in research, practice development, or evidence-based practice. It provides the theoretical foundations and applied frameworks needed to advance person-centred practices in healthcare organisations, systems, and education programmes.
