Person-Centered Care and Cultural Humility

Person-Centered Care and Cultural Humility

The modern healthcare system prioritizes providing quality care and engaging patients in treatment. One of the approaches used to achieve this is person-centered care. The definition of person-centered care can be derived from the meaning of patient-centered care. Kuipers et al. (2019) argue that patient-centered care includes offering healthcare services based on a patient’s beliefs, needs, choices and preferences. Therefore, person-centered care to me means offering healthcare services that are responsive and respectful to a person’s needs, preferences, choices and beliefs.

Nurses play a vital role in providing person-centered care by ensuring that a patient’s needs, beliefs, and preferences are considered when creating and implementing treatment plans. Therefore, I will apply the principles of holistic nursing, cultural humility, and self-reflection in my future role as an advanced practice nurse to support person-centered care in the healthcare system. For example, I will apply the principle of holistic nursing to safeguard my patients’ spiritual beliefs, opinions, healthcare needs and emotional and mental issues when providing healthcare services by collaborating with the patients to have a mutual understanding of the treatment plans.

I will also apply cultural humility to safeguard the patients’ cultural beliefs when creating and implementing treatment plans and use patient education to address cultural barriers that could interfere with treatment when delivering healthcare services to diverse cultural groups. I will additionally use self-reflection to determine any biases that could impact my ability to offer quality healthcare services and seek help to eliminate them to provide unbiased quality healthcare services to my patients. I will also use self-reflection to determine whether I have the essential competencies needed in advanced nursing practice that could impact my ability to offer person-centered care. The key competencies I will consider in my self-reflection include ethics and practice inquiry. Ethics is important in person-centered care because it ensures that a person’s beliefs, choices, preferences, and needs are respected. On the other hand, practice inquiry is essential in understanding how to address barriers that could limit my ability to create a mutual understanding with the patient in holistic nursing.
