Healthcare staff's experiences of implementing one to one contact in nursing homes.

This study has revealed that systematic 'one-to-one contact' between resident and carer in nursing home is achievable, and that such a simple action might be an important step towards achieving more person-centred care as the resident is seen more as a person. However, in order to make a more person-centred and dignified approach to care constant attentiveness and awareness is required, as there were ongoing factors counteracting it.
