This study investigated the associations between perceived nursing competency, moral sensitivity, and person-centered care among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in tertiary university hospitals. The study aimed to determine the influence of perceived nursing competency and moral sensitivity on person-centered care. A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from ICU nurses with over 6 months of clinical experience at tertiary university hospitals in G city or H county, between March 9 and May 18, 2023. The analysis included 222 responses. Results revealed that patient-centered care was an average of 3.46 out of 5, perceived nursing competency was an average of 2.62 out of 4, and moral sensitivity was an average of 4.94 out of 7. Multiple regression analysis indicated that perceived nursing competency (β=0.22, p=.001) and moral sensitivity (β=0.23, p<.001) significantly influenced person-centered care, explaining 14.6% of the variance. These findings emphasize the pivotal role of perceived nursing competency and moral sensitivity in enhancing person-centered care performance. Consequently, healthcare policy makers and nursing managers are encouraged to prioritize the development and implementation of educational programs aimed at enhancing these factors among ICU nurses, with the goal of further improving person-centered care in tertiary university hospitals.
