Background: In order to achieve person-centred outcomes, it requires nurses to possess attributes outlined in the Person-Centred Practice Framework prerequisite construct. To ensure that they attain these attributes, it is needed to address them during basic education. At this academic level, it is unclear which competencies are necessary to meet these attributes, how they can be developed as part of basic nursing education, and how educators can promote them and develop a person-centred teaching and learning culture. Aim: This project aims to develop a framework for undergraduate nursing education to foster the development of person-centred practitioners in German-speaking countries. Objectives are: 1) Identify person-centred competencies and how they can be developed and evaluated in undergraduate programmes; 2) Investigate the required attitudes, pedagogical skills, and knowledge of teaching staff; 3) Describe what is needed for the development of a person-centred teaching and learning culture; 4) Derive recommendations for nursing curricula and practice development in teaching. Methods: A multi-perspective approach is planned: I) Informing the framework: a) Collecting person-centred moments from students and teachers in nursing and teaching practice, b) Conducting focus groups with both parties, c) Identifying further relevant theoretical approaches. II) Developing the framework: a) data analysis and integration to draft a first version of the framework; b) Validation of findings through workshops with different stakeholders and finalization in a consensus-conference. III) Translating the framework for undergraduate degree programmes: a) Transformation of the findings for nursing curricula; b) Development of strategies for person-centred learning and teaching culture. IV) Enabling evaluation: a) Development of a measurement to assess students' person-centred competencies; b) Deriving recommendations for a multi-facetted approach to evaluate person-centred teaching and learning culture. Current state: The project is in its initial development phase. The presentation will focus on the discussion of the theoretical background and methodological approach.
