“…The SELSA-S has demonstrated good psychometric properties: concurrent and discriminant validity (DiTommaso et al, 2004). In studies with healthcare professionals and students of nursing, the SELSA-S has shown a high reliability, with coefficients closer to 0.90 (Domínguez et al, 2017;Marilaf-Caro et al, 2017).…”

Introduction: For physicians and nurses, teamwork involves a set of communication and social skills, and specific training in interdisciplinary work in order to be able to work together cooperatively, sharing responsibilities, solving problems, and making decisions to carry out actions centered on patients' care. Recent studies demonstrate that in the absence of targeted interdisciplinary educational programs, the development of teamwork abilities is sensitive to the influence of the dominant work environment. The purpose of this study was to characterize the role that environmental and individual factors play in the development of teamwork in environments with a dominant hierarchical work model. Methods: Questionnaires were distributed to 1,880 undergraduate students (980 medicine students and 900 nursing students) from three universities of Cusco city (Peru). The Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration was used as the main variable. The Jefferson Scales of Empathy and Lifelong Learning, the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults, the Scale of Life Satisfaction, sex, discipline, age, and academic semester were used as explanatory variables. After calculating internal reliability and normality of the main measures, descriptive, comparative, and correlation analyses were performed to determine variables influencing the teamwork score. Results: A total of 1,518 (81%) surveys were returned fully completed. Adequate reliability was confirmed in all instruments. In the sample, nursing students showed greater inter-professional collaborative abilities than medicine students (p < 0.001). This attitudinal gap was higher in advanced semesters. A three-way ANOVA indicated differences in teamwork were associated with discipline (p < 0.001), sex (p < 0.01), and university (p < 0.001). However, main effects were associated only with discipline (η p 2 = 0.14). Teamwork showed an inverse correlation with loneliness (ρ = −0.28; p < 0.001) and a positive correlation with empathy (ρ = + 0.49; p < 0.001) and lifelong

“…Higher levels of empathy led to greater life satisfaction and less severe loneliness among nurses who offer palliative and home care services (Marilaf Caro et al. ). As for the predictive effect of empathy on nurses’ engagement in work, the outcomes of a previous study on Italian hospital nurses showed that higher level of cognitive empathy (perspective taking) resulted in greater work engagement; however, affective empathy (compassion care) did not predict work engagement significantly (Pohl et al.…”

Aim To describe the levels of work engagement, and to analyse the reciprocal relationships between social support, empathy, resilience and work engagement among haemodialysis nurses in China. Background Work engagement is a critical workplace health indicator. Previous studies have examined work engagement perceived by nurses working in diverse hospital wards, or a specialty area (emergency care or intensive care), no previous studies have highlighted work engagement and its affecting factors among haemodialysis nurses. Methods Participants in the cross‐sectional study were 345 haemodialysis nurses employed in 17 hospitals in Chengdu, China. Hierarchical regression analyses were carried out to analyse the relationships between social support, empathy, resilience and work engagement in haemodialysis nurses. Results Resilience was the strongest positive significant contributor to work engagement, followed by other support and perspective taking (cognitive empathy). Nurses with longer occupational tenure reported higher levels of work engagement. Male nurses also reported greater work engagement than female nurses. Discussion Influence of work engagement was explored by social support, empathy and resilience, reflecting the need of haemodialysis nurses to understand the significance of focusing on their personal and environmental factors. Conclusions Positive resilience, other support and cognitive empathy can result in increased work engagement. Implications for nursing Training programs, such as mindfulness meditation training and empathy skills training, are recommended for nursing managers to enhance resilience and empathic capacity in nurses. Implications for nursing policy Nursing policies should be developed to establish supportive work environments in clinical practice settings and to support the education and training of psychological resilience and empathic capacity in order to foster work engagement.

“…To understand the factors influencing nurses' ProQOL and its potential mechanism plays a vital role in promoting the working experience among these vital caregivers. It has been demonstrated that both nursing professional values and empathy were associated with ProQOL in clinical nurses (Altun, ; Ferri, Guerra, Marcheselli, Cunico, & Lorenzo, ; Marilaf Caro et al, ; Thirioux, Birault, & Jaafari, ; Wagaman, Geiger, Shockley, & Segal, ). Empathy may mediate the association between nursing professional values and ProQOL in clinical nurses.…”

“…For clinical nurses, empathy is also an essential competence, because they must establish a relationship with their patients characterized by mutual trust when providing care (Coutinho, Silva, & Decety, ). High measured level of empathy has been found to be associated with tangible improvements in clinical outcomes (Del Canale et al, ; Yuguero, Marsal, Esquerda, & Soler‐Gonzalez, ) and meanwhile is beneficial for ProQOL in health personnel (Ferri et al, ; Marilaf Caro et al, ; Thirioux et al, ; Wagaman et al, ). It appears that both nursing professional values and empathetic ability play positive roles in preserving and enhancing nurses' ProQOL.…”

AimThis study aimed to examine whether and to what extent, empathy mediates the association between nursing professional values and professional quality of life (ProQOL) in Chinese female nurses.DesignCross‐sectional study design.MethodsA convenience sample of 733 nurses from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, was recruited. Each participant was invited to complete a self‐administrated socio‐demographic questionnaire, the Nursing Professional Values Scale, the Jefferson Scale of Empathy and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and the bootstrap method were employed to analyse data using SPSS 23.0 software.ResultsThe participants reported a medium level of ProQOL. Nursing professional values were positively associated with compassion satisfaction but negatively associated with burnout. Empathy mediated 9.2% and 57.1% of the total observed effect of nursing professional values on compassion satisfaction and burnout, respectively.
