The characteristics of health professionals and their understanding of person-centeredness may have important implications for the development of person-centered practice in specific care settings. In this study, we characterized the perceptions of the person-centered practice of a multidisciplinary team of health professionals working in the internal medicine inpatient unit of a Portuguese hospital. Data were collected using a brief sociodemographic and professional questionnaire and the person-centered practice inventory-staff (PCPI-S), and the effect of different sociodemographic and professional variables on each PCPI-S domain was determined using an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that a person-centered practice was positively perceived in the major constructs of prerequisites (M= 4.12; SD= .36), the practice environment (M= 3.50; SD= .48), and person-centered process (M= 4.08; SD= .62) domains. The highest scored construct was developed interpersonal skills (M= 4.35; SD= .47), and the lowest was supportive organization systems (M= 3.08; SD= .80). Gender was found to influence the perceptions of knowing self (F(2,75)= 3.67, p= .03, partial η2= .089) and the physical environment (F(2,75)= 3.63, p = .03, partial η2= .088), as was profession on shared decision-making systems (F(2,75) = 5.38, p < .01, partial η2 = .125) and commitment to the job (F(2,75)= 5.27, p < .01, partial η2= .123), and the educational level on being professionally competent (F(1,75)= 4.99, p= .03, partial η2= .062) and having commitment to the job (F(2,75)= 4.49, p= .04, partial η2= .056). In addition, the PCPI-S proved to be a reliable instrument for characterizing healthcare professionals' perceptions of the person-centeredness of care in this context. Identifying personal and professional variables that influence these perceptions could provide a starting point for defining strategies to move practice toward person-centeredness and for monitoring changes in healthcare practice. Keywords: inpatient; multidisciplinary care team; noncommunicable diseases; patient-centered care; person-centered practice inventory-staff.
