Abstract

Background: This study aimed to develop and test a model of person-centered nursing (PCN) for hospital nurses using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Methods: This was a crosssectional descriptive study. The subjects of this study were 340 clinical nurses in South Korea. A survey was conducted using an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 21.0. Results: Results of the validity test of the hypothesized model showed that goodness-of-fit indices satisfied the criteria (χ2 = 573.767 (df = 257, p < 0.001), TLI = 0.92, CFI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.02, RMSEA = 0.06), and 10 of the 15 paths established in the hypothesized model were statistically supported. The model’s explanatory power was 82%, which showed that empathy directly and indirectly affected PCN, and that nursing competency directly affected clinical nurse performance of PCN. In addition, nursing competency, interpersonal relationship ability, and moral sensitivity indirectly influenced PCN through empathy. Conclusions: In order to promote PCN for clinical nurses, it is desirable to develop in-hospital education programs that can improve nursing competency, interpersonal relationship ability, and moral sensitivities, emphasizing elements of empathy. Empathy was an important mediating factor that influenced the relationships between PCN and related variables.
