N2 - AimsTo report how person-centred care principles are applied to care planning and to explore the contextual factors affecting their implementation in older adult care homes in England.DesignA combined framework analysis and quantitative content analysis study.MethodsUsing a semi-structured questionnaire, we interviewed 22 care home managers in England, exploring topics around care planning processes. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed through a combined framework approach and content analysis.ResultsMost care home managers discussed person-centred care planning in terms of understanding residents' values and preferences and their engagement in decision-making. Factors facilitating person-centred planning implementation included accessible planning tools, supportive care home leadership, effective communication and collaborative partnerships. Inhibiting factors included regulatory and care practice misalignment, time constraints and adverse staffing conditions.ConclusionDifferences between care home practitioners' understanding and practice of person-centred care planning require further examination to improve understanding of the sector's complexity and to develop suitable care planning instruments.
