Supporting Person-Centred Collaborative Care with Nursing Theory

Slide 01

Hello everyone, my name is ____________. I will discuss why person-centred care (PCC) is important to enhance the quality of healthcare today and, in particular, how nursing theories and ethical decision-making can be used to build and enhance the method.

Slide 02

Nursing Theory Supports PPC

The combination of the nursing theory with PCC provides a solid conceptual and ethical base for transforming healthcare delivery. The human caring theory by Jean Watson is the most distinguished in terms of its clarity when it comes to understanding how the direct influence of authentic presence, compassion, and respect for human dignity can be used in ethical healthcare practice (Gunawan et al., 2022). The theory of transpersonal relationships by Watson is fully compatible with PCC, in which the patient is perceived as an individual and not a diagnosis. Nursing theory integration promotes ethical decision-making through the strengthening of such basic principles as autonomy through shared decision-making, beneficence through customised interventions, non-maleficence through holistic risk assessment, and justice through fair healthcare provision (Afra et al., 2022).

By applying Watson’s caring science in collaborative practice, patients find a greater level of trust, participation, and empowerment. The relationship-related gains are demonstrated as the growth of the satisfaction score, the enhancement of the adherence to the treatment plan, the decrease in the cases of hospital re-hospitalisation, and the self-management of chronic conditions (Nass et al., 2024). Through the integration of nursing theory into practice, healthcare organisations form an organisation that has a well-grounded ethical basis, which can entirely influence both qualitative and quantitative patient outcomes, and is an immense and enduring force of theory-driven patient-centred care.

Theory Upholding Ethical Principles

Slide 03

The Theory of Human Caring, created by Jean Watson, promotes the concept of ethical decision-making, as it includes moral responsibility in the relationship of nurse and client. The theory presented by Watson is based on the respect of human dignity, presence, and understanding, which inherently appeal to ethical principles of the healthcare profession. The theory also fosters autonomy through the promotion of collaborative decision-making, consideration of the values and beliefs of patients and their preferences, etc. It also enhances beneficence because it involves acting in a compassionate manner and is concerned with the well-being of the patient, other than merely treating the symptoms (Curcio et al., 2024).

The theory is also based on nonmaleficence and encourages reflective practice and the ability to think carefully about the possible effects that the interventions can have on the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of patients. Moreover, justice is also facilitated by Watson focusing on equity and human dignity because it guarantees that everyone is respected and treated with dignity regardless of their background or identity (Afra et al., 2022). Through the inclusion of caring science in making decisions, medical practitioners are motivated to make ethical choices rather than just making decisions that are clinically right.

Slide 04

Theory Connection

The human caring theory of Jean Watson is a comprehensive approach to care that may be utilised to direct person-centred care in a transpersonal, holistic, and humanistic way. The theory acknowledges the importance of establishing nurturing relationships with the patients in a deeper and more empathetic manner that can be directly applied to personalised patient care (Curcio et al., 2024). The creation of relationships of care would allow the healthcare professional to comprehend the needs, values, and preferences of the patients better, which would assist in enhancing emotional support and trust. The theory also fosters teamwork through the promotion of shared decisions and care planning across interdisciplinary teams so that every team member participates in the overall well-being of the patient (Bagheri et al., 2023).

The theory surrounds the philosophy of empowerment, which entails actively involving the patients in the process of setting care goals, chronic disease management, and self-management. The theory can be used to operationalise ethical values into healthcare practices by fostering caring relationships and collaborations, resulting in better patient outcomes (Gunawan et al., 2022). The quantitative advantages of the theory are as follows: better patient satisfaction levels, reduced readmission rates, and better likelihood of adherence to the care plans, whereas the qualitative ones are better emotional well-being, empowerment, and sentiment of dignity and autonomy.

Slide 05

Person-Centred Care Initiative

One of the evidence-based initiatives that illustrates a person-centred approach to care is the Implementation of a person-centred collaborative care model in an acute care or chronic disease setting. The initiative combines the interdisciplinary practice and ethical practice decision-making approach in a way that care is provided in an effective and person-centred way (Hallgren et al., 2021). The work as a part of the project will involve active participation of patients, physicians, pharmacists, social workers, and nurses, and daily rounds in order to provide a platform on which the decisions and simultaneous changes in care may be made. The ethical practice decision-making includes case review sessions that entail intervention assessment by teams according to the principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice, since the patient’s values are considered in any decision of care (Mareya et al., 2025).

The staff is provided with training in reflective practice, communication, and cultural humility as a way of promoting ethical and person-centred care. The evidence-based program is in place. It has been found that person-centred care models of interdisciplinary care increase patient involvement, belief, and self-management and workforce satisfaction and retention (Kongkar et al., 2025). Quantitative ones include an increased level of patient satisfaction, decreased readmission rates, and increased treatment plan adherence, and qualitative ones include an increased level of patient dignity, emotional well-being, and self-management confidence. According to the PCC-care model, ethical decision-making in teams involving the utilisation of teamwork has a direct impact on patient-centred care and health outcomes.

Initiative Connection with Nursing Theoretical Premise

Slide 06

The theory of human caring, founded on the concept of transpersonal care, holistic healing, and maintenance of human dignity by Jean Watson, is a specific background of the person-centred collaborative care model. The initiative enables patients to be active participants, which contributes to trust, engagement, and empowerment through the usage of the theoretical framework offered by Watson (Curcio et al., 2024). The caring science theory incorporated in staff development enables the nurses and other team players to practice empathy, recognise the values of the patients, and make ethical decisions. Ethical analysis of ethical cases and reflective practice exercises represent the promotion of the ideals, whereby the care team can apply theory to practice (Sherwood, 2024).

Patients are also informed on personal responsibility in shared decision making and planning of their care, and self-management that is in line with the theory of patient empowerment and holistic healing as proposed by Watson. Theoretical grounding guarantees the involvement of the entire team and collaboration in the ethical, collaborative, and compassionate care, while patient involvement is ensured as an equal partner (Marzban et al., 2022). Finally, the connection of the initiative with the theory suggested by Watson provides a practical way of educating staff and patients, resulting in improved cooperation, ethical practice of care, and improved patient outcomes.

Anticipated Patient Outcomes

Slide 07

The collaborative care model based on person-centred care is expected to bring significant quantitative and qualitative patient outcomes. The quantitative outcomes would be increased patient satisfaction scores, higher treatment adherence, decreased rates of hospital readmission, fewer adverse events and better clinical performance outcomes like chronic disease management (Saragih et al., 2024). The qualitative results would focus on the relationship and experience-based aspects of patient care, including increased patient trust, emotional, and feelings of dignity.

The patients would be expected to state that they feel more confident in their ability to take control of their health, more connected in the decision-making process, and have better attitudes toward the healthcare team and the communication and support processes (Wilson and Hutchison, 2024). The evaluation of quantitative and qualitative data will give a clear understanding of the effectiveness of the initiative. The results support the fact that the PCC-care model not only contributes to better quantitative clinical outcomes but also to better patient experience, empowerment, and overall well-being. The results serve as a testimony of the role of pursuing person-centred, theory-based, and ethics-informed approaches to healthcare provision.

Conclusion

Slide 8

In conclusion, the person-centred collaborative care model is one of the examples of how nursing theory, ethical decision-making, and collaboration may be employed in improving patient care. The PCC-care model emphasises empathy, dignity and holistic care as proposed by Jean Watson’s theory of human caring, and also includes patients as partners. The team building approach of collaboration, reflection, and empowerment that the model is supposed to enhance is supposed to enhance quantitative and qualitative outcomes, such as satisfaction, adherence, and readmission rates, as well as trust, emotional well-being, and confidence. The ethics and caring atmosphere is the solution to the problem of training the team and patients to collaborate effectively and become the best teams in the future. The PCC-care model is an effective option to enhance person-centred care, organisational effectiveness, and patient experience.
