Abstract
Background and Objectives: Nursing students require appropriate education to improve their person-centered care competence. Therefore, research on the various factors that influence person-centered care competence is necessary. This study aimed to identify factors influencing nursing professional values, satisfaction with major, and perception of the nursing profession on person-centered care competence. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive survey, and participants were nursing students from three universities in Korea. Structured self-report questionnaires were used for data collection. Results: Nursing professional values (p < 0.001) were found to be an influencing factor on person-centered care competence (Adjusted R2 = 0.244). However, the perception of the nursing profession, and the satisfaction with the major were not found to be significant influencing factors on person-centered care competence. Conclusions: The findings suggest that fostering nursing professional values in nursing students and developing educational interventions for the same are essential to improve person-centered care competence.

Summary
Person-centered care (PCC) is a holistic approach involving respecting and individualizing each patient, facilitating their autonomy to the greatest possible extent, and allowing them to actively participate in their treatment [1]. PCC has been developed in theory and in practice through research [9], and many studies have evaluated the effects of PCC implementation in the clinical or long-term care setting [3,10,11,12,13] Most of these studies focused on PCC education for nurses rather than nursing students [14]. PCC aims to provide humanistic care that transcends the mere focus on an individual’s disease; it begins with the process of recognizing patients as human beings [2] It is a relatively advanced form of nursing, and a specialized, incremental approach for its education is required in nursing curricula [16]. This study aimed to identify factors influencing nursing professional values, satisfaction with major, and perception of the nursing profession on person-centered care competence. Conclusions: The findings suggest that fostering nursing professional values in nursing students and developing educational interventions for the same are essential to improve person-centered care competence
