“…Empathy and humanistic care abilities are crucial elements in establishing positive relationships between healthcare professionals and patients [17,25] . In the context of ongoing advancements in medical technology, the role of nurses extends beyond providing medical care to encompass caring for and supporting patients' emotional and psychological needs.…”

Background As the field of nursing science continues to evolve and higher education expands, enhancing empathy and humanistic care skills among nursing students prior to their clinical practice has become a crucial responsibility for nursing educators. To investigate the impact of the TPKCEE compound teaching model, which is based on narrative nursing, on the cultivation of empathy and humanistic care qualities among students in the ideological and political teaching of obstetrics and gynecology nursing. Methods A convergent mixed method design was used, which consisted of a quasi-experimental design and a semistructured interview.Data collection took place from September 2021 to February 2023. A convenience sampling method was used to select 61 fulltime third-year nursing students in a school in China (a control group of 27 and an experimental group of 34). The control group was exposed to traditional curriculum, while the experimental group used the TPCKEE teaching model based on narrative nursing. Jefferson Empathy Scale (JSE) and Caring Ability Scale (CAI) were used for quantitative assessment before and after the course, descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the empathy and caring ability of the two groups of students, and semi-structured interviews were used for qualitative assessment. Thematic analysis was used to understand the development of students in humanistic care, empathy and learning experience. Results After teaching, the total score of empathy and the dimension of transposition, emotion and viewpoint, and the total score of CAI and the dimension of understanding and courage of nursing students in the control group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The TPCKEE teaching model based on narrative nursing effectively improves empathy, caring behavior, and classroom teaching outcomes in third-year nursing students.

“…The level of empathy among medical students after medical training was overall decreased, but was increased in terms of valuable empathy in positive doctor-patient interactions [ 26 ]. However, it has also been found that although the level of empathy and pain knowledge and attitudes of student nurses were weakly positively correlated, this was not statistically significant [ 27 ]. Currently, there are few studies on pain empathy among nurses in China, and the correlation between pain management knowledge and attitudes and pain empathy and the factors influencing pain empathy are unclear.…”

Background Effective pain management is closely related to nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and empathy regarding pain. Nursing educators and managers should understand the relationship between nurses’ pain management knowledge, attitudes and empathy level, and take targeted measures accordingly. Currently, there is limited study exploring the relationship between pain empathy and pain knowledge and attitudes among nurses in North China. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of nurses’ pain management knowledge and attitudes and pain empathy, to analyze the factors influencing pain empathy, and to explore the relationship between these two variables. Design This study was a quantitative, descriptive-correlation design. Setting and participants The study population was registered nurses in North China, the sample included 177 registered nurses in North China. Methods Data were collected with the “General data questionnaire”, “Knowledge and attitudes survey regarding pain” (KASRP) and the “Empathy for pain scale” (EPS) via Wechat mini program “Questionnaire Star”. Results The 177 registered nurses completed the survey. The averege correct rate for KASRP was (51.94 ± 9.44)%, and none of the respondents achieved a percentage score of >80%. The mean score for pain empathy was (2.78 ± 0.78), the empathy reactions dimension was (2.99 ± 0.77), and the body and mind discomfort dimension was (2.71 ± 0.80). The results of multiple stepwise linear regression showed that whether they had received empathy training, whether they had greater trauma or severe pain and whether they had negative emotions were independent influencing factors for EPS scores. Pearson correlation analysis showed that KASRP scores were positively correlated with EPS scores (r = 0.242, P < 0.05). Conclusions The pain knowledge and attitudes of nurses in North China are far from optimal. Nurses have a relatively low accuracy rate in areas such as medication knowledge, assessment of patient pain based on case studies, and handling PRN prescriptions. Nursing educators and administrators need to design some pain management courses in a targeted manner. Nurses’ empathy for pain was at a moderate level. Pain empathy was positively correlated with pain knowledge and attitudes, suggesting that empathy for pain can be developed postnatally.
