Abstract
This study aimed to propose and examine a predictive model of the impacts of organizational and individual factors on the perceptions of patient-centered care (PCC) among nurses working in long-term care hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted at six hospitals in South Korea. Data collected from 187 nurses were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings showed that the model explained the impacts of the factors on how nurses perceive PCC, it explaining 47% of the variation in PCC. Organizational factors had stronger influences on PCC [innovative organizational culture (β = 0.34), teamwork (β = 0.30)] compared to individual factors [compassion (β = 0.15), self-leadership (β = 0.07)]. The hypothesized model has potential for determining the factors that influence the perceptions of PCC among nurses working in long-term care hospitals. Further strategies should focus on organizational factors in strategies for improving long-term care nurses’ perceptions of PCC.
