Abstract

Purpose
To examine the extent of positive psychological capital and professional pride among clinical nurses in general hospitals and to identify the factors affecting person-centered nursing care.
Methods
Data were collected using a structured questionnaire completed by 190 nurses working at a hospital in Seoul. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0, employing one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.
Results
The mean score for person-centered nursing was 3.90 out of 5. Key factors affecting person-centered care included nursing professional pride (β=.39, p<.001), position (β=-.23, p=.003), and work unit (β=-.14, p=.032). The explanatory power of the model was 23.4%.
Conclusion
The findings highlight the importance of developing programs that foster person-centered care by enhancing clinical nurses’ professional pride while considering their work units and positions.
