| Sumario: | Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine effects of clinical competency and working environment of psychiatric nurses on person-centered care. Methods: This study was conducted in five hospitals located in Daegu city and Gyeongsang-do of South Korea. Participants were 153 psychiatric nurses who had experienced psychiatric nursing practice for at least 12 months. Data were collected from November 15, 2023 to December 31, 2023 using a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed through multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Participants had a person-centered care score of 3.93 out of 5, a clinical competence score of 3.58 out of 5, and a working condition score of 3.08 out of 4. Regression analysis showed that clinical competence (β=.47, p <.001) and working conditions (β=.38, p <.001) were factors affecting person-centered care, with an explanatory power for person-centered care of 49.8% (F=36.42, p <.001). Conclusion: To enhance person-centered nursing competency of psychiatric nurses, it is essential to enhancing their working conditions and improving their clinical competence.
