Objective: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted to determine the effect of nursing students' ethical sensitivity and compassionate communication levels on patient-centered care competence.
Method: The study population consisted of 654 nursing students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing of a government university, in the academic year of 2022-2023. The sample selection was not done in the study, and the research was completed with 452 nursing students who participated voluntarily. The data were collected using an introductory information form, The Patient-Centered Care Competence Scale (PCC), The Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students (ESQ-NS), and The Compassionate Communication Scale (CCS). Institutional permission, Ethics Committee approval, and written informed consent were obtained from the students.
Results: In the present study, the mean scores for ESQ-NS, CCS, and PCC among the nursing students were 22.4±9.2, 85.2±15.0, and 72.6±8.2, respectively. There was no statistically significant relationship between ESQ-NS scores and CCS and PCC scores (p>0.05); however, there was a correlation between all CCS scores and PCC scores (p<0.05). CCS sub-scale compassionate communication was determined as effective on PCC total score. As compassionate communication scores increased, PCC total score increased by 0.726 points (p<0.001).
Conclusion: As a result, it can be stated that the ethical sensitivity and compassionate communication levels of nursing students were moderate, while their patient-centered care competency levels were high. Moreover, it was determined that there was a positive relationship between compassionate communication and patient-centered care competence. It was observed that compassionate communication was particularly effective in patient-centered care competence.
