Person-Centred Care Among Intensive Care Unit Nurses: The Role of Delirium Care Burden, Nursing Competency and Positive Organisational Culture.
Article in Nursing in critical care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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-centred care (PCC) recognises patients as unique individuals and provides care through person-centred communications.
aimThis study aimed to examine the combined associations of nursing competency (prerequisite), positive organisational culture (care environment) and delirium care burden (contextual barrier) with PCC among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, based on McCormack and McCance's Person-Centred Nursing Framework. STUDY
designThis descriptive cross-sectional study included nurses working in the ICUs of a university hospital in South Korea. The data were collected between 30 June and 17 July 2023. The survey assessed general characteristics, nursing competency, positive organisational culture, delirium care burden and PCC. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis.
resultsPCC was significantly and positively correlated with nursing competency (r = 0.37, p < 0.001) and positive organisational culture (r = 0.46, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that positive organisational culture (β = 0.39, p < 0.001) and nursing competency (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with PCC, whereas delirium care burden was not significantly associated with it.
conclusionsTo enhance PCC in ICUs, it is essential to strengthen nursing competency (prerequisite) and foster a positive organisational culture (care environment). The lack of a significant association between delirium care burden and PCC suggests that ICU nurses maintain person-centred practices despite care strains. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: To improve nursing competency and organisational culture, competency development programmes tailored to the professional characteristics of ICU nurses are necessary, along with adequate resource allocation and human resource management. Furthermore, organisational-level efforts such as improving policy and reward systems are required to create a supportive care environment.
