Believes, perceptions and attitudes about a disease are vital determinants of how a patient responds to treatment against a disease.
The second characteristic of patient centered care is that it is understanding the whole person. A nurse ought to understand a patient including their physical and emotional attributes that affect treatment (Masters, 2018). This allow him to respond to their needs in appropriate methods. The third characteristic is that patient centered care in culturally appropriate. The culture of the patient should be put into consideration in developing the care process. By respecting diversity, patient centered care ensure that healthcare is delivered in a manner that the patient understand hence increasing chances of recuperation.

Educations should be done in the language they most understand with minimum use of medical jargon. Secondly, the nurse should understand the patient’s family background. Members of the family should be included during patient education as they provide support during the recuperation process.
