Abstract

Background: Although person-centered care is a fundamental aspect of nursing, its effective implementation in acute healthcare settings remains challenging. The current study aimed to determine the impact of person-centered care on pain control and the experiences of trauma patients in the emergency department (ED). Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 88 trauma patients admitted to the ED, who were allocated via block randomization into two groups: the intervention group (n = 44) and the control group (n = 44). The intervention group received person-centered care focusing on two components: 1) pain management and 2) therapeutic communication/trauma-informed care. The control group received routine emergency care. Outcomes were measured using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, the Pain Management Satisfaction Scale (PMSS), and the Accident and Emergency Department Questionnaire (AEDQ). Data were analyzed using STATA-14 software, with Repeated Measure and paired t-tests applied for statistical analysis. Results: The results showed no statistically significant difference in pain intensity during triage between the two groups (P = 0.091). However, upon discharge from the ED, the mean scores for pain management satisfaction and patient experiences were significantly higher in the intervention group (22.61 and 20.88, respectively) compared to the control group (8.40 and 39.99, respectively) (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The findings suggest that incorporating principles of person-centered care such as patient participation, attention to preferences, and nurse-led pain management during triage, can enhance satisfaction and foster positive experiences among trauma patients in the ED
