Patient-Centered Care Kelly Mensch

Patient-centered care (PCC) for bone marrow transplant recipients is a way to plan effective nursing actions that provide quality and safety in care. The development of an individualized therapeutic plan for bone marrow transplant patients requires a broad view of the physiological, psychosocial, and spiritual dimensions, and it is important to monitor the entire transplantation process. Scientific evidence has demonstrated a positive correlation between spirituality and health, inferring that its development provides physical and emotional well-being and can contribute to the relief of suffering and to the coping with the journey of the disease. The inclusion of spirituality in the work practice through the development of the nursing process is a challenge. Therefore, the search for strategies for its insertion aims to assist and instrumentalize health professionals in planning care.
