Nurse scholars have always endorsed the fact that each and every nurse implements some aspects of nursing theory in their routine practice settings. Application of such theories and analysis of the same increases the professional competency in a staff nurse (Senn, 2013). Theory in nursing practice as defined by Meleis (1985) is “an articulated and communicated conceptualization of invented or discovered reality (central phenomenon and relationships), in or pertaining to nursing for the purpose of describing, explaining, predicting or prescribing nursing care” (p.29) (Senn, 2013). One such theory that was formulated by Peplau (1952) is the ‘Person-centric or Patient –centric “care approach that was based on the theory of interpersonal relationships. She believed that outcomes in patients could be improved through appropriate therapeutic relationship.
