Abstract

Purpose
This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the performance of person-centered care among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses from an ecological perspective.
Methods
The participants were 172 ICU nurses working in eight hospitals in B city. Data were collected from July to August, 2020. The questionnaire consisted of measuring tools for general characteristics, performance of person-centered care, compassion satisfaction, communication competence, and teamwork. The SPSS/25.0 program was used to analyze the data using hierarchical multiple regression.
Results
According to the hierarchical multiple regression analysis, total nursing experience, compassion satisfaction, communication competence, and team work accounted for 44.1% of the variance in performance of person-centered care among ICU nurses (p<.001).
Conclusion
Enhancing compassion satisfaction, communication competence, and teamwork can help increase the performance of ICU nurses’ person-centered care. In addition, in order to improve the performance of person-centered care among ICU nurses, it is necessary to investigate and explore the factors hindering the performance of person-centered care among ICU nurses with more than 5 years of experience. Therefore, multidimensional efforts are needed to develop educational programs to increase the performance of person-centered care among ICU nurses.
