“…It has been linked to life satisfaction, wellbeing, rich social networks, healthy relationships and workplace performance, accommodative behavior, and pro-social activity [159,160,161]. Prospective research indicates that higher levels of early-life empathy predict social competencies [162].…”

The influential scientist Rene J. Dubos (1901–1982) conducted groundbreaking studies concerning early-life environmental exposures (e.g., diet, social interactions, commensal microbiota, housing conditions) and adult disease. However, Dubos looked beyond the scientific focus on disease, arguing that “mere survival is not enough”. He defined mental health as fulfilling human potential, and expressed concerns about urbanization occurring in tandem with disappearing access to natural environments (and elements found within them); thus modernity could interfere with health via “missing exposures”. With the advantage of emerging research involving green space, the microbiome, biodiversity and positive psychology, we discuss ecological justice in the dysbiosphere and the forces—financial inequity, voids in public policy, marketing and otherwise—that interfere with the fundamental rights of children to thrive in a healthy urban ecosystem and learn respect for the natural environment. We emphasize health within the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) rubric and suggest that greater focus on positive exposures might uncover mechanisms of resiliency that contribute to maximizing human potential. We will entrain our perspective to socioeconomic disadvantage in developed nations and what we have described as “grey space”; this is a mental as much as a physical environment, a space that serves to insidiously reinforce unhealthy behavior, compromise positive psychological outlook and, ultimately, trans-generational health. It is a dwelling place that cannot be fixed with encephalobiotics or the drug-class known as psychobiotics.

“…Sikap empati merupakan salah satu kunci penting dalam praktik keperawatan (Stein-Parbury, 2017). Sikap empati perawat yang dilakukan pada saat melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan mampu meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien (Bourgault et al, 2015). Pengembangan sikap empati perawat harus dilakukan secara komprehensif dan berkelanjutan.…”

Kepuasan pasien merupakan elemen penting dalam menyediakan pelayanan yang lebih baik. Kepuasan pasien dapat dicapai dengan meningkatkan perilaku caring perawat. Tingkat empati perawat yang tinggi dapat menjadi prediktor sikap caring yang dimiliki oleh perawat. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian kuantitatif asosiatif analitik dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Rumah Sakit Islam Kendal. Sampel penelitian ini adalah pasien rawat inap kelas 3 yang menjadi peserta BPJS sebanyak 166 responden, yang didapatkan melalui Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh responden memiliki baseline data empati perawat yang sama. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa perawat selalu menunjukkan sikap empati kepada semua pasien yang dikelola. Semua variabel kualitas pelayanan keperawatan memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan arah hubungan searah, yang berarti bahwa semakin tinggi nilai kualitas pelayanan keperawatan maka akan semakin tinggi pula nilai kepuasan pasien. Empati perawat yang dilakukan pada saat melaksanakan asuhan keperawatan pada pasien merupakan prediktor utama atau penentu peningkatan kepuasan pasien Peserta BPJS Di Rawat Inap RSI Muhammadiyah Kendal.

“…To date, researchers have carried out a series of studies investigating empathy and related aspects. For example, studies have explored empathy and subjective well‐being among nurses (Bourgault et al, ) and empathy interventions (Chaffin & Adams, ). Furthermore, empathy motivation among nurses has become an important related problem.…”

“…Empathy is usually considered a key factor in the concept of caring allowing nurses to provide feedback appropriate to the patients’ needs (Vioulac, Aubree, Massy, & Untas, ), is a principal component of communication skills (Aomatsu, Otani, Tanaka, Ban, & van Dalen, ) and is a crucial component of a supportive relationship (Cunico, Sartori, Marognolli, & Meneghini, ). Empathy has been reported to be positively associated with patient satisfaction, perceptions of a social support network, treatment compliance, patient outcomes (Van Den Brink‐Muinen et al, ), well‐being (Bourgault et al, ) and quality of life (Duarte, Pinto‐Gouveia, & Cruz, ). Research suggests that efforts should be directed towards improving empathy among healthcare providers (Hojat, Axelrod, Spandorfer, & Mangione, ).…”

Aims and objectives To develop and validate an instrument to measure nurses’ empathy motivation in China (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Background Nurses are increasingly expected to empathise with patients in clinical settings. However, research investigating nurses’ empathy motivation in China is lacking, and no specific instrument exists worldwide. Design Two‐stage cross‐sectional study, which follows the STROBE guidelines. Instrument development and psychometric evaluation were used (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Methods A literature review and qualitative interviews with nurses were conducted to generate the initial items. Convenience samples of 340 (for item analysis) and 640 (for psychometric evaluation) clinical nurses working at four tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province were recruited. The scale was validated by content validity, surface validity and item analysis. A total of 640 participants were randomly divided into two equal groups. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used with varimax rotation, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency reliability to analyse the psychometric properties of the scale (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Results From the initial 90‐item pool, 27 items were retained by the item analysis. The EFA (N = 290) showed the following six factors on the scale explained 71.266% of the overall variance: amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrative regulation and intrinsic motivation. Furthermore, when limited to three factors, that is autonomy motivation, controlled motivation and amotivation, 56.578% of the variance was explained. The findings showed high internal consistency. The six‐factor solution and three‐factor solution of the scale, including 27 items, were both confirmed by the CFA, for example χ2/df = 1.744, 2.261; RMSEA = 0.051, 0.066; GFI = 0.882, 0.847; TLI = 0.942, 0.902; and RMR = 0.039, 0.049, respectively. Conclusions The nurses’ empathy motivation scale presents good psychometric properties and can be used to explore nurses’ empathy motivation in China (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Relevance to clinical practice This study offers insight into nurses’ complicated reasons for exhibiting empathy.
