Structural Equation Model for Developing Person-Centered Care Competency among Senior Nursing Students

Abstract

Recent health care developments have emphasized person-centered care, which highlights individualized treatments rather than focusing solely on the nature of a given disease. Thus, we aim to identify the factors and construct a structural equation model for developing person-centered care competency among senior nursing students based on the social cognitive career theory and a subsequent literature review. We use a hypothetical model to examine the factors influencing person-centered care competency, and using a structured questionnaire, and we collect data on self-awareness, the clinical learning environment, clinical practicum adaptation, nursing professionalism, empathy, and person-centered care competency. The participants include 383 third- and fourth-year senior nursing students who had undergone at least one semester of clinical practice in South Korea. SPSS/WIN 26.0 is used to analyze all obtained data, while AMOS 25.0 is used for structural equation modeling. The final model is confirmed to be suitable for explaining and predicting person-centered care competency among participants. Nursing professionalism, empathy, clinical practicum adaptation, self-awareness, and the clinical learning environment explained 38.8% of the total variance among participants. Strategies and interventions designed to enhance person-centered care competency for senior nursing students should particularly focus on nursing professionalism, empathy, clinical practicum adaptation, self-awareness, and the clinical learning environment.

The Behavioral Intention of Using Online Food Delivery Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Vietnam

“…The maximum likelihood approach was carried out as the model estimation method in this study. The software program for data analysis, namely SPSS 26 and AMOS 25, has been demonstrated to be suitable for the analyses of questionnaire data and structural equation modelling (Blunch, 2012;Yun & Cho, 2021).…”

Factors associated with clinical competency of nursing students

“…Certainly, the study found that person-centered care competency was influenced by self-awareness. 10 Moreover, the findings illustrated that pre-test self-awareness (M=124.5; ±1.3) and knowledge (M=57.1%; ±2.2) were higher in students with two or more types of end-of-life experience (n=42). Thus, self-awareness (M=130.1; ±1.2) scores were high for student participants (n=36) post-simulation, with moderate correlations found between some scores (rpb<-0.40 or 0.40).…”

“…9 Then, person-centered care competency was influenced by nursing professionalism, empathy, and clinical practicum adaptation. 10 Last, the learning experience and the academic challenge were the main factors affecting core competencies. 23…”

Structural Equation Modelling for Patient-Centered Medication Selection: A Decision Support Framework

“…Employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), this document dissects the complex interrelations to highlight the routes through which drug accessibility and affordability influence patient outcomes. The insights are anticipated to equip stakeholders, including policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and patients, with the essential tools to enhance healthcare services and patient contentment in India [15], [16], [17]. A literature review has pinpointed a lacuna in this domain, emphasizing the need to systematize and define the pharmaceutical selection process, which could be applied in health initiatives, at the policy-making echelon, or even within drug formularies.…”
