“…Participants responded on a seven-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree,7 = strongly agree). Compassion (in a general sense, including towards patients) was measured with a five-item version [35] of the Santa Clara Brief Compassion Scale [36]. Participants responded on a seven-point Likert scale (1 = not at all true of me, 7 = very true of me).…”

Background Work stress and compassion fatigue are prevalent among healthcare staff and their negative effects on staff well-being and patient care are well-known. This paper reports on the implementation and evaluation of Schwartz Rounds® (Rounds) in UK healthcare organizations, predominantly part of the National Health Service (NHS). Rounds are one-hour, typically monthly, multidisciplinary forums during which clinical and nonclinical healthcare staff discuss the emotional and social demands of delivering patient care. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of Rounds attendance on the psychological distress, work engagement, compassion and self-reflection of healthcare staff. Methods We used a pre-post control design to assess the effect of Rounds attendance across 10 UK healthcare organizations. This design was most appropriate given the voluntary nature of Rounds and ensured the study had ecological validity. Self-reported data were collected from attenders and non-attenders at baseline and at eight-months follow-up. The outcomes were psychological distress, work engagement, compassion and self-reflection. Results During the 8 months’ study duration, regular attenders (N = 51) attended Rounds on average 4 times (2–8). Attenders showed a significantly greater decrease in psychological distress (as measured with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)) than non-attenders (N = 233; odds ratio of 0.197; 95% confidence interval (0.047–0.823)). However, Rounds attendance had no significant effect on work engagement, compassion and self-reflection. Conclusions Rounds attendance was linked to a 19% reduction in psychological distress adjusting for covariates. As an organization-wide intervention, Rounds thus constitute an effective, relatively low-cost intervention to assist staff in dealing with the demands of their work and to improve their well-being.

“…She posits that, although these types of love can co-occur in romantic relationships, they are distinct from each other. Considerable research has been directed at understanding passionate love, companionate love, and attachment love, however, CL is still poorly understood (e.g., Berscheid, 2010 ; Fehr & Sprecher, 2009 ; Neto & Menezes, 2014 ; Oman, 2011 ).…”

Compassionate love has received research attention over the last decade, but it is as yet unclear how it is experienced over a lifetime. The purpose of this study was to investigate compassionate love for a romantic partner throughout the adult life span, exploring individual differences in the propensity to experience compassionate love in regard to age, gender, religion, love status, love styles, and subjective well-being. The results showed that religion and love status display significant effects on compassionate love. Believers experienced greater compassionate love than nonbelievers, and individuals in love presented greater compassionate love than those who were not in love. Love styles and subjective well-being were found to be related to compassionate love. These findings corroborate studies that indicate that individuals who experience higher compassionate love for a romantic partner are more likely to report Eros, Agape, and subjective well-being.

“…The itemtotal correlation values (>0.500) indicated that each item relates to the total values of the measured scale. Thus, the authors proceeded to conduct factor analysis, which is commonly used in similar research in the subject of love styles or attachment (Karantzas, Feeney, & Wilkinson, 2010;Neto & Menezes, 2014;Shahrazad, Hoesni, & Chong, 2012).…”

This research reexamines composing factors of the Five Love Languages. Previous research has shown differing results on this topic. The Five Love Languages were measured by adapting the Five Love Languages Scale. This scale was then modified to lengthen participants' response range and add one ancillary item. The research sample comprised of 687 undergraduate students and selected through proportionate quota sampling. Sample age ranges were between 17 and 40 years old. Exploratory factor analysis showed items were laid out accordingly with factor loading for each item ranging from 0.463 up to 0.853. EFA also exhibited love language is constructed by four components. The unique aspect found on this research was sacrificial element.
