Abstract Aim This study aims to investigate how Lebanese nursing students perceive the challenges of implementing person‐centered care in clinical settings. Design A qualitative descriptive design was adopted for this study. Methods At one of Lebanon's top universities, a qualitative descriptive study design was used with 18 nursing students from various academic levels. Content analysis was used to generate the results after three focus group discussions. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research were used to report this study. Results The content analysis gave rise to four main themes, namely, “overload”, “challenges with education”, “unawareness”, “establishing connection”, and “lack of initiatives related to policy”. The results showed a number of obstacles that Lebanese nursing students believed were in the path of providing person‐centered care. These obstacles included organisational issues like time restraints and an intense workload, as well as interaction difficulties with patients and healthcare teams, and educational issues like insufficient instruction in person‐centered care concepts during nursing programs.
