Abstrakt: Aim: This study aims to explore the relationship between work environment, job characteristics and person-centred care for people with dementia in nursing homes.
Background: Person-centred care approaches have become a dominant indicator for good quality of care in nursing homes. Little is known about the relationship between work environment, job characteristics and person-centred care in nursing homes.
Method(s): Cross-sectional data from the LAD study were used. Direct care staff (n = 552) of nursing homes (n = 49) filled an online questionnaire about work environment characteristics and person-centred care. To examine relationships, multilevel linear regression analyses were conducted.
Results: Associations were found between a higher transformational leadership style, less social support from a leader, a higher unity in philosophy of care, higher levels of work satisfaction, more development opportunities, better experienced teamwork and staff-reported person-centred care.
Conclusion(s): In a complex nursing home environment, person-centred care is influenced by organisational and work characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships.
Implications for Nursing: Leaders may consider facilitating collaboration and creating unity between care staff, clients and family members in order to provide person-centred care. Therefore, a transformational leadership style, educational programmes and coaching for leaders are recommended.
