Abstract
BACKGROUND: With increased research, the concept of people-centered care is advancing, and it remains an important concept in the health sector. Despite reported evidence of significant benefits, this concept is poorly utilized by professional nurses. The principle has not been demonstrated and absorbed at primary health care levels.
 
 AIM: The aim of this study is to present review of literature on people-centered care (PCC) in nursing and its practice in primary health care setting. 
 
 METHODS: Searching for this study is conducted through electronic databases in which the following databases were searched: PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, EMBASE, and CINAHL, MEDLINE, Health sources: Nursing/Academic edition, PsycINFO, Education source, Academic search complete, and psychARTICLE from EBSCOhost platform. The Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual 2015 methodology framework was used as a guide to conduct the search strategy. Furthermore, in this review study, both peer reviewed articles and grey studies on people centered care were reviewed.
 
 RESULT: The findings of this research review outlined the evidence, practicability and acceptability of nursing care with people-centered care concept in the primary health care centers. Considering that nurses play a vital role in the health sector, it is possible to use people-centered care in Primary Health Care settings. However, there are many difficulties and obstacles identified such as: absence of nursing fraternity training and growth, absence of clear educational advancement resulting from change in accreditation, small number of nurses at the organizational level of health care organizations, and reduced global health care organization assistance.
 
 DISCUSSION: The results from this review highlighted evidence of the relationship between quality healthcare deliveries of nurses with people-centered care concept in primary healthcare centers. Nurses' role in delivering PCC and gauging their knowledge and understanding is becoming imperative and crucial. In primary health care environments, nurses play a significant role in understanding a patient's culture of quality and efficient health care.
Highlights
People-Centered Care (PCC) is not a new concept in the health sector because it was first introduced in 1987 in recognition of the role of patients in personal health by the Children's Care Association (Abraham & Moretz, 2012; Choi & Kim, 2014)
Aim: The aim of this study is to present review of literature on people-centered care (PCC) in nursing and its practice in primary health care setting
These results benefit patients, and nurses working in health care institutions (Ahmann, Abraham, & Johnson, 2010; Conway et al, 2006)
Summary
People-Centered Care (PCC) is not a new concept in the health sector because it was first introduced in 1987 in recognition of the role of patients in personal health by the Children's Care Association (Abraham & Moretz, 2012; Choi & Kim, 2014). While PCC is challenging in its application and cost, its tremendous results are recognized by organisations These results benefit patients, and nurses working in health care institutions (Ahmann, Abraham, & Johnson, 2010; Conway et al, 2006). Nurses need to know and research the requirements, dislikes and likes of their clients, their values, capabilities, their nature of assistance and their needs for assistance in relation to their historical background (Thompson, Heath, & Mills, 2013). This attitude of collaboration will allow nurses and other health professionals to assist patients make informed decisions about their health direction without prejudice Other researchers have found a contrary thinking to PCC, arguing that it is a vague and poorly conceptualized principle (DiGioia III, Lorenz, Greenhouse, Bertoty, & Rocks, 2010; Laschinger, Heather, Gilbert, Lesley, & Leslie, 2010; Smith, Dewar, Pullin, & Tocher, 2010)
