Background This study is part of a research project aiming to implement and evaluate the effects of a model for PCC in allo-HSCT, a web-based PCC education is a part of the model. Level of PCC in allo-HSCT has not previously been investigated and is important for the implementation of PCC. Objectives The aim was to investigate healthcare professionals’ level of person-centredness in care provided, and associations with individual characteristics, workplace and PCC education. Methods In total, 85 healthcare professionals and managers, at two allo-HSCT centres in Sweden answered the Person-centred Care Assessment Tool (P-CAT), containing 13 statements. Descriptive and analytical statistics were employed. A total scale (min 13 – max 65), and two subscales were calculated: 1. Extent of personalizing care (min 8 - max 40) and 2. Amount of organizational and environmental support (for PCC) (min 5 – max 25), higher numbers indicating higher level of PCC. Results Total scale mean was 45.31 (SD: 7.88, range 28-62), subscale one 28.41 (SD: 5.32, range 16-39) and subscale two 16.90 (SD: 4.73, range 8-24). Items rated highest were: daily assessment of patients’ needs (74.5%, mean 4.0), Often discuss how to give PCC (67.4 %, mean 3.96) and Formal team meetings to discuss patients’ care (70.6%, mean 3.84). Items rated lower were: Do not have time to provide PCC (31.4 %); the environment is chaotic (39.2 % ); Get the work done before worrying about a homelike environment (25.5% ); the organization prevents providing PCC (25.5%). Higher age (B: 4.44; CI: 1.53- 7.35; p=0.00) and PCC education (B: 3.65; CI: 0.50-6.79; p=0.02) was associated with higher ratings of PCC. Conclusion The level of PCC in allo-HSCT is high regarding discussing and assessing patients’ needs, but there is room for improvement of organisational and environmental aspects. Further, PCC education increases the level of PCC.
