Summary
This study identified key factors influencing person-centered care in Korean nursing students. Nursing professionalism and empathy directly impact care, while clinical practice adaptation indirectly affects it, explaining 40% of the variance.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Geriatric Care
- Psychology
Background:
- Person-centered care is crucial for dementia patients.
- Understanding factors influencing nursing students' provision of this care is essential.
- A predictive model was needed to identify these influencing factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To verify a prediction model for factors associated with Korean nursing students' person-centered care for dementia patients.
- To analyze the direct and indirect relationships among these factors.
Main Methods:
- Covariance structure analysis with 313 Korean nursing students.
- Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for analysis.
- Convergent and discriminant validity were verified using higher-order factor analysis.
Main Results:
- The proposed model demonstrated good fit.
- Nursing professionalism and empathy showed significant direct positive associations with person-centered care.
- Clinical practice adaptation and nursing professionalism had significant indirect effects, collectively explaining 40% of the variance in person-centered care.
Conclusions:
- Clinical practice adaptation, nursing professionalism, and empathy are significant factors for person-centered care.
- Findings provide foundational data for developing educational programs to enhance nursing students' capacity for person-centered care.
- This research highlights the importance of integrating these factors into nursing curricula.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:29Planning Nursing Care II
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
01:25Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...
