Cross-sectional survey assesses patient-centred orientation in healthcare professionals, suggesting key factors for improvement.

The study aims to assess patient-centred orientation among healthcare professionals and identify associated factors.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey of 261 healthcare professionals at St Luke’s Hospital.
Used the 18-item Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale to measure patient-centredness.
Performed multivariable linear regression to find factors associated with patient-centred orientation.
Mean PPOS score was 3.75 on a 1–6 scale.
Physicians scored significantly higher than nurses and therapy aides (p < 0.001).
Higher PPOS scores were associated with professional role, a culture promoting PCC, and occasional stress without burnout.
