The spectrum of person-centered care: from luxury to necessity: a descriptive qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerson-centered care (PCC) constitutes a fundamental element of holistic nursing practice, emphasizing patient engagement and comprehensive understanding beyond pathology. This study sought to investigate nurses’ perceptions of PCC within the Iranian healthcare system. Given the aging population in Iran, ongoing challenges in implementing PCC in clinical practice, and the limited qualitative research on this topic, understanding nurses’ perspectives is crucial for improving care delivery.
methodsA descriptive qualitative content analysis study was employed, conducted in 2024 at public hospitals in northern Iran. Sixteen nurses from diverse clinical departments were recruited via purposive sampling. Data collection utilized semi-structured interviews, with subsequent analysis performed through conventional content analysis using MAXQDA 10 software, adhering to Graneheim and Lundman’s analytical framework.
resultsAnalysis yielded one overarching theme, “Luxurious or Necessary,” comprising two categories: “Luxurious care” and “Enriched nursing care.” Eight subcategories emerged: being supportive, being heard, being compassionate, individualized care, care with competence, care with commitment, care with conscience, and care with respect. These were derived from 850 initial codes.
conclusionFindings indicated a dichotomous perspective among nurses regarding PCC, with some considering it essential to quality care, while others perceived it as a superfluous formality. This divergence in viewpoints underscores the imperative for healthcare policymakers to formulate and implement strategies that enhance nurses’ comprehension and application of PCC principles, thereby fostering improved community health outcomes.
