Aim
To examine how transformational leadership, job demands, job resources and patient safety culture contribute in explaining person-centred care in nursing homes and home care services.
Design
Cross-sectional study.
Methods
Healthcare professionals in four Norwegian nursing homes (N = 165) and four home care services (N = 139) participated in 2018. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine to what degree transformational leadership, job demands, job resources and patient safety culture dimensions predicted person-centred care.
Results
Transformational leadership, job demands and job resources explained 41% of the variance in person-centred care, with work pace as the strongest predictor (β = 0.39 p < .001). The patient safety culture dimensions explained 57.5% of the variance in person-centred care, with staffing being the strongest predictor (β = 0.31 p < .001). There were small differences between nursing homes and home care. In total, transformational leadership, pace of work, staffing and factors related to communication were the strongest predictors for person-centred care.
