The measurement of compassionate leadership: Adaptation and Spanish validation of the compassionate leadership self‐reported scale

Abstract

Project Longitudinal study of compassion and other professional quality of life determinants: A national level research on palliative care professionals (CompPal) [Estudio longitudinal de la compasión y otros determinantes de la calidad de vida profesional: Una investigación en profesionales de cuidados paliativos a nivel nacional (CompPal)] (RTI2018-094089-I00).

Health-care leaders’ and professionals’ experiences and perceptions of compassionate leadership: A mixed-methods systematic review

“…Showing empathy (Hewison et al , 2019; Papadopoulos et al , 2022; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022a; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022b; Sansó et al , 2022) and having emotional intelligence (Ali and Terry, 2017; Hewison et al , 2018; Hewison et al , 2019; O'Toole et al , 2021; Papadopoulos et al , 2022; Sansó et al , 2022) are crucial factors in compassionate leadership. It was also expected that leaders would be compassionate towards professionals (Ali and Terry, 2017; López-Díaz et al , 2022; O'Toole et al , 2021; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022a; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022b; Sansó et al , 2022). Perceptions of not receiving empathy or being allowed to show negative feelings were also mentioned (Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022a).…”

“…The presence and participation of the leader were expected from compassionate leadership. The leaders’ presence and participation in the work (Papadopoulos et al , 2021; Papadopoulos et al , 2022; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022b; Sansó et al , 2022) was perceived as attending (Papadopoulos et al , 2022; Sansó et al , 2022), as in the physical presence of the leaders and participation in daily routines (Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022b). Knowing what is going on in the work unit (Sansó et al , 2022; Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022b) and working in cooperation with professionals (Papadopoulos et al , 2022; Sansó et al , 2022) were also perceived as important parts of the leaders’ presence and participation.…”

“…The quantitative data was converted into qualitative data following the JBI convergent integrated approach for MMSR by extracting the quantitative data and translating it into textual data based on the research questions by repeated detailed examination (Lizarondo et al , 2020). Data was collected from two of the quantitative studies (Salminen-Tuomaala and Seppälä, 2022a; Sansó et al , 2022), and three quantitative studies (López-Díaz et al , 2022; Papadopoulos et al , 2021; Papadopoulos et al , 2022) had already reported their findings in a qualitative form. The qualitative data were then pooled with the data from the qualitative studies, allowing quantitative and qualitative data to be combined (Stern et al , 2021) (Supplementary Table 6).…”

A scoping review of the self-reported compassion measurement tools

“…Several research shown that self-compassion may be acquired from childhood; thus, a number of measures were established for the young population [35,57]. In clinical practice, patients' psychological wellbeing is of great concern, caregivers may simultaneously face a variety of stressful and complex situations, the care provided to patients should be compassionate, and caregivers themselves require selfcompassion, as measured by scales such as the Compassionate Leadership Self-reported Scale [33], the Bolton Compassion Strengths Indicators [41] and the Sussex-Oxford Compassion Scales (SOCS) [24] were constructed for healthcare professional included medical students and nurses. Sinclair et al [55] and Roberts et al [54] both made conjoined attempts to place an emphasis on compassion practice for patients.…”
