Patient-centered care is an essential part of the implementation of integrated medicine, integrating humanistic care into nursing services, enhancing communication between caregivers and patients, and providing personalized service to patients. Based on the similarity of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs), a novel similarity-based methodology is presented for the selection of the most suitable medical treatment under a patient-centered environment. First, we propose a new similarity based on the geometric properties of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers and present a new property based on the center of gravity. Meanwhile, in order to better highlight the advantages of the proposed similarity, we selected 30 samples for comparative experiments. Second, considering the straightforward logic of the multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method, we extended it based on similarity to make the decision more accurate. Finally, a realistic patient-centered type-2 diabetes treatment selection problem is presented to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. A comparative analysis with existing methods is also described.

Abstract Globally, there is an increased need to provide patient-centered care for people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In Nigeria, a poorly financed health system worsens the difficulties associated with managing T2DM in clinical settings, resulting in a detrimental effect on patient-centered care. We aimed to develop a conceptual model to promote patient-centered T2DM care in clinical settings. We explored nurses' contextual perceptions of clinical practices and operations that are relevant to T2DM management across public hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria. Identifying a nurse-led intervention is critical to care optimization for people diagnosed with T2DM. Using a qualitative research, we used semi-structured questions and the Constant Comparison Method to interview 17 practice (registered) nurses with over 1-year experience working in public hospitals across Lagos, Nigeria. The Framework Method was used for data analysis. The nurses provided insight into four areas of patient-centered T2DM management in clinical settings. They are: empowering collaboration, empowering flexibility, empowering approach, and empowering practice. The nurses discussed an empowering pathway through which health settings could provide patient-centered care to individuals diagnosed with T2DM. The pathway includes the integration of macro, meso, and micro levels for patient management. Their views informed the development of a conceptual model for the optimization of patient care. The model developed from this research sits within the Patient-Centered Care model of healthcare delivery. The model has the potential to inform patient-centered care in countries with poorly financed healthcare systems, and developed countries with comparatively better healthcare.
