Exploring the implementation of person-centred care in nursing practice.

Person-centred care involves nurses working in partnership with patients to ensure their needs and preferences are at the centre of their healthcare, as well as considering the biographical and social factors that are relevant to the person's health. This aims to support patients in developing the knowledge, confidence and skills to make informed decisions about treatment and to manage their own care where possible. This article discusses the concept of person-centred care and considers some of the facilitators and barriers that may affect its implementation in healthcare practice.

Clinical assessment and management of children with bronchiolitis.

Bronchiolitis is a common seasonal viral illness in babies and children aged under two years. Its significance has increased in the light of a predicted surge in respiratory illness in children this winter and the continuing effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on parental anxiety and cross-infection. Children's nurses will have a central role in delivering high-quality care and support to children and families during this time.

Practising cultural humility to promote person and family-centred care.

The concept of cultural humility in nursing involves an awareness of diversity and how an individual's culture can affect their health behaviours. Nurses can use this awareness to develop sensitive, tailored and person-centred approaches to patient care, which ultimately contribute to a positive healthcare experience. This article examines the concept of cultural humility with reference to person and family-centred care.

Aim: The aim of this pilot study was to understand the experience of non-biological lesbian mothers accessing healthcare for their children and the types of attitudes and language they encountered.

Effect of technology on undertaking nursing observations.

It is recognised that there is a shared responsibility for ensuring nursing students are competent to carry out and interpret manual nursing observations in accordance with Nursing and Midwifery Council guidelines. Many nurses rely on electronic medical devices to determine baseline observations in all clinical settings. This could be perceived as detrimental to patient care, since nurses are no longer using their senses fully to assess patients.
