Person-centred nursing - Brendan McCormack

The concept of personcentredness has become established in approaches to the delivery of healthcare, particularly with nursing, and is embedded in many international healthcare policy frameworks and strategic plans. This book explores personcentred nursing using a framework that has been derived from research and practice.

PersonCentred Nursing is a theoretically rigorous and practically applied text that aims to increase nurses understanding of the principles and practices of personcentred nursing in a multiprofessional context. It aims to advance new understandings of personcentred nursing concepts and theories through the presentation of an inductively derived and tested framework for personcentred nursing. In addition it explores a variety of strategies for developing personcentred nursing and presents case examples of the concept in action.

This is a practical resource for all nurses who want to develop personcentred ways of working.
