Abstract

Background: Guiding the care provided by physicians and other health professionals through person-centered care has represented a challenge both in its planning and in its application. This points out the potential value of developing ad-hoc procedures for guiding person-centered care in intensive care units.
Objectives: To evaluate person-centered care in intensive care units guided through ad-hoc procedures.
Methods: An ad-hoc procedure to facilitate the stated objective was developed on the basis of experience with the Spanish International Humanization in Intensive Care (HUCI) project (4) and applied to medical and nursing professionals working longer than two months in intensive care units in Peruvian hospitals.
Results: In the four intensive care units engaged in this study a low level of observance of person-centered care was found through the Humanization in Intensive Care Procedure.
Conclusions: Greater clarity on the concepts and the implementation of person-centered care procedures is essential for enhancing the process and outcomes of person-centered care in intensive care units.
