Key Points

• Conducted a survey with 302 workers from elderly care facilities, day care centers, and residential facilities for the disabled.
• Utilized hierarchical regression analysis, Baron and Kenny's three-step procedure, and Sobel tests to analyze data.
• Included control variables to assess the relationships accurately.
• Both human rights sensitivity and ethical sensitivity showed significant positive effects on person-centered care.
• Self-efficacy also demonstrated a significant impact on person-centered care.
• Perceived responsibility under human rights sensitivity correlated significantly with both person-centered care and self-efficacy.
• Certain sub-factors of ethical sensitivity, like participant-centeredness and professional ethics, displayed direct relevance to person-centered care.
• Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between human rights sensitivity, ethical sensitivity, and person-centered care, even when controlling for other variables.
