Abstract
Background: Individualized nursing care as a form of person-centered care delivery is a well-known approach in the health care context and is accepted as best practice by organizations and professionals, yet its implementation in everyday practice creates serious challenges. The aim was to assess and compare the perceptions of health professionals and older diabetes patients on their individual care in regard to the patient's clinical situation, personal life situation, and decisional control. Methods: The quantitative study with a cross-sectional survey design was conducted from March 2019 until January 2021. The Individualized Care Scale was applied for the data collection. Health professionals (nurses and physicians, n = 70) and older diabetes patients (n = 145) participated in the study. The average duration of diabetes was 15.8 years (SD = 10.0) and type 2 diabetes was the most common (89.0%). The current glucose-lowering therapy for 51.0% of the patients was oral medications, 37.9% used injected insulin, and 11.1% were treated by combined therapy. Results: The highest-rated aspects of individualized care on both dimensions of the scale from the health professionals' perspective related to the clinical situation, and the scores for provision were significantly higher than those for support. The highest means of patients' ratings on the support dimension related to the clinical situation and the decisions over care sub-scale; for the care provision dimension, the highest individuality in care was assigned to the decisions over care sub-scale. The lowest ratings of individualized care, both in the health professionals' and patients' samples, related to the personal life situation sub-scale. Conclusions: Health professionals are more positive in regard to individualized care support and provisions for older diabetes patients than the patients themselves. [...].
