Aim(s): This study was to investigate person-centered care in relation to patient engagement and nursing satisfaction among stroke rehabilitation patients.
Method(s): This study utilized a descriptive and correlational research design. A sample of 223 post-stroke patients from 6 rehabilitation hospitals located in S city and Gyeonggi province, Korea completed a self-reported questionnaire, including demographic characteristics, person-centered care, patient engagement, and nursing satisfaction. A hypothesized model that links the person-centered care to patient engagement and nursing satisfaction was tested by a path analysis using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0.
Result(s): The tested model had good fit and explained the direct and indirect effects of study variables. Findings from the path analysis showed that person-centered care had direct effects on patient engagement and nursing satisfaction. Also, the indirect effect of person-centered care on nursing satisfaction through patient engagement was statistically significant.
Conclusion(s): Findings indicate that person-centered care is a significant predictor of patient engagement and nursing satisfaction in stroke rehabilitation patients. It is important to develop person-centered nursing care as effective strategies to improve the quality of nursing care as well as patient outcomes in rehabilitation settings.
