Nurses' Patient‐Centered Care Competencies and Care Perceptions of the Patients They Care for: A Cross‐Sectional Study

It was found that the nurses' overall and subscale scores for PCCC and average scores for patients' perception of nursing care were high. Additionally, patients' marital status, having children, and educational level were identified as factors influencing their perception of care. While no statistically significant correlation was found between the PCC scores of nurses and the PPHEN scores reported by patients, an interesting finding emerged: there was a significant positive correlation between patients' age and their PPHEN scores.
