Abstract
Person-centred practice offers an approach to healthcare provision that prioritises the personhood of individuals. This means that nurses' ethical and professional values underpin their approaches to care, where each person and their rights, relationships and dignity are respected. For nurses, the primary intention of person-centred practice is to contribute to a positive care experience for the people in their care. This article examines factors and models that influence person-centredness in nursing practice, notably the Person-centred Nursing Framework and the Person-centred Practice Framework. The authors also explore approaches nurses can take, such as values clarification, reflection on practice and engaging and working collaboratively with others, to engage in person-centred practice and create and sustain person-centred cultures.
