Patient-Centered is defined as providing care that respects and accommodates the preferences, needs, and values of the individual patient, and that the patient's values guide all clinical decisions (Institute of Medicine, 2001). Although there are numerous articles that have been written to clarify patient-centered care, what it means and why it is important is not fully understood (Epstein, Fiscella, Lesser, & Stange, 2010). Patient-centered care targets those who are ill or injured and receiving treatment, i.e., "patients,familyand friends are also the focus of decision making (Zhao, Gao, Wang, Liu, & Hao, 2016). The two most fundamental aspects of patient-centered care are treating the patient as a unique person and involving the patient in his or her care by making decisions about his or her care, requiring a cultural shift from a traditional patternalistic approach to a partnership between clinician and patient (Bachnick Sidani & Fox (2014) stated that sharing information in an accurate and timely manner to promote effective patient participation in decision-making They state that it is important to share information in an accurate and timely manner to facilitate effective patient participation in decision-making. Other approaches include effective patient-clinician communication and shared decision making (Levit, Balogh, Nass, & Ganz, 2013), biopsychosocial perspectives (Scholl, Hater, & Dimaier, 2014), tailoring care to patients' needs and preferences tailoring (Sidani & Fox, 2014) are important aspects. The concept of patient-centered care in nursing is based on the patient'sself-controlPromoting sexuality, individualizing patient care, and a caring attitude (Lusk & Fater, 2013) are important.
