摘要

Background: Although it has been established that person-centered care is an essential aspect in long-term care facilities, the relationship between person-centered care and job stress among nursing staff and the effect of this relationship on their quality of life are not clear. Purpose: This study aims to investigate correlations among job stress, quality of life, and person-centered care of nurses as well as factors affecting the person-centered care abilities of nursing staff working at long-term care hospitals. Methods: Nursing staff (N= 183) in three long-term care hospitals in South Korea completed a questionnaire on job stress, quality of life, and person-centered care. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program for descriptive statistics, using an independent t test, a one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple stepwise regression analyses. Results: Significant factors found to be associated with person-centered care included the quality of life (r = .411, p ＜ .001) and job stress (r = -.305, p ＜ .001) of the participant. The regression model with job stress and quality of life as predictor variables accounted for 29.2% of the variance in person-centered care. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Higher quality of life and lower job stress were found to increase the person-centered care abilities of nurses in long-term care facilities.
