“…The assessment of patient's condition affects the attitude. If they feel empathy, the participants try to understand patients who have attempted suicide and their background, which definitely affects their attitude towards the patients and their commitment to provide assistance (Sayumporn, et al, 2012). According to some studies, it is easier to develop a more positive attitude towards patients with whom it is easier to empathise (the participants consider these to be women and children), while the attitude is more negative to those towards whom we are unable to feel empathy.…”

“…Ocena pacientovega stanja je pri oblikovanju odnosa pomembna. Pri empatičnem odnosu udeleženci skušajo razumeti paciente po poskusu samomora in njihovo ozadje, kar vsekakor vpliva na njihov odnos do pacientov in na njihovo zavzetost za nudenje pomoči (Sayumporn, et al, 2012). Nekatere raziskave dokazujejo, da do pacientov, do katerih lažje izrazimo empatijo (udeleženci uvrščajo v to skupino ženske in otroke), lahko razvijemo pozitivnejši odnos kot do tistih, do katerih le-te ne zmoremo izraziti, odnos do le-teh je negativnejši.…”

Introduction: Since it is almost impossible to identify every suicidal person, the timely intervention of an emergency medical team is of the most importance for preventing suicide attempts. Yet its success depends not only on timely help, but also on the treatment of the suicidal individual, the quality of which is to a large degree determined by the attitudes of the paramedics to the suicide. Hence, this article addresses the issue of how Slovenian paramedics experience suicidal patients, or in other words, what their attitudes to suicidal patients are when treating them. Methods: This study is based on a descriptive qualitative method of empirical research, in which inductive analysis has been used. To collect the empirical material, semi-structured interviews with ten paramedics were conducted between December 2012 and January 2013. Results: Despite their professional conduct in working with suicidal patients, Slovenian paramedics often experience various unpleasant emotions while treating them. Although they show understanding, the paramedics are often caught in dilemma while treating suicidal patients, especially those that refuse help or are aggressive. During the treatment, the paramedics act according to their subjective risk assessment and previous work experience, yet they lack the expertise to work with suicidal patients, particularly communication skills. Discussion and conclusion: The attitude of the participants to suicidal patients is based primarily on the emotional aspect of their work. The research showed that a negative attitude may appear, but is not permanent. It appears only in certain conditions when caring for patients who are aggressive or threaten others and when the participants have not received help from other services.

“…There is general support that nurses' empathic attitude is important for patient's adherence to treatment. Empathy was also found to predict ratings of clinical competence and diagnostic accuracy [4,5] . Although there are general support and acceptation for the positive link between empathy, patients' outcomes and clinical competence, there are still some inconsistencies in the link between empathy and nurses' well-being [1] .…”

Empathy, a complex and multidimensional concept, has been defined in many ways within the context of nursing. Although there is general support that nurses' empathic attitude is important for patient's adherence to treatment and care satisfaction, there are still some inconsistencies in the link between empathy and nurses' well-being. The general aim of this study is to verify the role played by empathy in promoting well-being in nursing work. Therefore, 222 nurses from different hospitals in a north region of Italy, completed a self-administered questionnaire. A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Our result show that empathy is composed by two factors: a cognitive dimension (perspective taking) and an affective one (compassion). Perspective taking enhances job satisfaction, work engagement and reduces turnover intention. Compassion does not. These findings confirm that perspective taking and compassion have different impact on nurses' well-being. Further studies is required to inform education or for application in clinical settings.

Background and objective: Reproductive tract infections (RTI) can have serious consequences, such as miscarriage and infertility. Infertility is a growing universal phenomenon, "crossed nearly all cultures and societies almost all over the World", that has a tremendous impact on women's quality of life and their psychological well-being. This is due to various stress and anxiety factors experienced by them at each stage of their life. To decrease and prevent developing psychological distress the psychological aspects of infertility should be receive more attention. The objectives of this study were to assess the prevalence rate of reproductive tract infections and the psychological consequences amongst those women who were infertile in relation to their sociodemographic characteristics, fertility history, assisted reproductive technology (ART) and RTI. Methods: Interview questionnaire with a convenience sample of 399 infertile women who were admitted to inpatient wards and/or attending to outpatient gynecological and infertility clinics at University Hospital, Health insurance Hospital and general Hospital in Beni-Suef City. Results: About 27.6% of study subjects had reproductive tract infections. Socio-cultural factors, gynecological issues, reproductive tract infections aggravated psychological distress amongst those women who were infertile in Northern Upper Egypt. A highly statistically significant deviation was observed (p = .000). Conclusions: Negative psychological consequences of childlessness are common and morbid in Northern, Upper Egyptian infertile women. Furthermore, infertility and psychological distress are associated in a complex way, which has to be taken care by the nurses and the clinicians to promote the quality of life of the women undergoing infertility treatment.
