Abstract:
In-person- and family-centred care, patients and their family members are involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of care. The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario developed best practice guidelines for person- and family-centred care in May 2015. Prior to the implementation of the guidelines in the emergency department of the designated hospital, possible facilitators and barriers regarding its implementation had to be explored and described. The research question was, therefore: “What were the facilitators and barriers according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research that could influence the implementation of the person- and family-centred care guidelines of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario in the designated hospital emergency department?
