Person-centered care is widely recognized as a promising practice to improve patient care quality. However, little is known about the competencies of nursing students who are essential to providing high-quality person-centered care. In this study, relevant attributes, including professional nursing competence, empathy, and self-awareness, were examined in relation to person-centered care competence among South Korean nursing students while controlling for individual characteristics, including age, gender, religion, and academic performance. Data were collected from 213 senior students enrolled in four nursing schools in South Korea from November 15 to 30, 2017. The mean age of the nursing students in the sample was 23 years. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analyses while accounting for the students nested in their schools. Professional nursing competence and empathy were strongly associated with person-centered care competence among nursing students. Of the five aspects of professional nursing competence, human understanding and communication skills were the most likely to be associated with person-centered care competence. Moreover, there were few variations across nursing schools in the levels of professional nursing competence. Our findings corroborate the importance of developing better communication skills and empathy to improve and maintain person-centered care competence among nursing students who belong to a new generation.
人本护理被广泛认为是提高患者护理质量的一种有前途的实践。然而，对于提供高质量人本护理至关重要的护理专业学生的能力，人们知之甚少。本研究考察了与韩国护理学生人本护理能力相关的相关属性，包括专业护理能力、同理心和自我意识，同时控制了个体特征，包括年龄、性别、宗教和学业成绩。数据于 2017 年 11 月 15 日至 30 日从韩国四所护理学校的 213 名高年级学生中收集。样本中护理学生的平均年龄为 23 岁。数据分析采用多元回归分析，同时考虑到学生在其学校中的嵌套情况。专业护理能力和同理心与护理学生的人本护理能力密切相关。在专业护理能力的五个方面中，对人的理解和沟通技巧最有可能与人本护理能力相关。此外，护理学校之间在专业护理能力方面的差异很小。我们的研究结果证实了培养更好的沟通技巧和同理心的重要性，以提高和维持属于新一代的护理学生的人本护理能力。
