This essay discusses the principles of person centred care (PCC) in nursing and explores how nurses can partner with consumers to improve care quality and safety. PCC focuses on fulfilling individual needs, goals, and cultural preferences during the care process. The eight principles of PCC include respecting patient's preferences, coordination of care, physical and emotional comfort, continuity and transition of care, information and education, family and friends participation, and access to care. Nurses can promote PCC by demonstrating cultural sensitivity, effective communication, advocacy, and transparency. Understanding and implementing PCC is critical for improving care quality and patient satisfaction.
