Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients admitted to internal medicine care environments have complex care needs and must be treated as persons with resources and responsibilities. Person-centred care is defined as care in which the caregiver aims to get to know the patient as a person, and the care comprises a holistic approach to assess patients' needs and resources. There is strong motivation for future health care to transform into an approach that acknowledges and endorses every patient's resources, interests and needs. There is limited existing research on the benefit of implementing person-centred care in internal medicine care environments for all patients regardless of diagnosis or care pathway. Little is known about the effects of person-centred inpatient care on patients' satisfaction with care. This study includes adult patients admitted to an internal medicine inpatient unit regardless of reason for admission. The aim of the study is to evaluate effects of person-centred inpatient care on care processes, in terms of satisfaction with care and person-centred content in medical records and to evaluate effects on self-reported health and self-efficacy.

Person-centred inpatient care

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention comprises three sequential steps in the care process. The first two steps follow one after the other in conjunction with admission to the ward: 1) person-centred assessment, and 2) creation of a person-centred health plan. Persistent person-centred inpatient care, the third step, is practiced throughout the hospital stay, and is a component of the quality and patient safety program.

The model is systematically applied to all patients admitted to the unit. All staff are trained in PCC before implementation of the intervention.
