A comparative study on person-centered care practice between public and private General Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Overall, 52.8% of participants rated person-centered care practices as good, with private hospitals in Addis Ababa (70.9%) demonstrating a higher prevalence of person-centered care practices compared to public hospitals (34.8%). The factors associated with healthcare practices in both public and private hospitals include hospital type, hospital attractiveness, ease of access to services, privacy in accessing care, perceived intimacy with the provider, and the provision of medication information. We recommend targeted improvements in public hospitals to enhance the quality of PCC.
