Relationship between Compassion and Spiritual Care among Nurses in Turkey

“…The nurses in this study had a high compassion level. In the literature, some studies have reported similar results to the present study (Arlı et al 2018;Çingöl et al 2018;İşgör 2017;Meyer et al 2015;Büyük et al 2021;Karadağ et al 2018). In the study by Arkan (2020), nurses had a medium compassion level (Arkan et al 2020).…”

“…Additionally, compassion enables nurses to establish therapeutic communication with patients and facilitates their ability to understand patients, recognize their emotions and needs and meet their spiritual needs (Uslu et al 2016). Studies indicated that nurses have high compassion levels (Arlı et al 2018;Büyük et al 2021;Çingöl et al 2018;İşgör 2017;Meyer et al 2015;Karadağ et al 2018). Compassionate care practices, which may be a quality indicator, increase patient satisfaction levels and comfort of care and make patients feel better (Çınar et al 2018).…”

Determination of Compassion Levels of Nurses Working at a University Hospital

“…In the studies of Sprecher and Fehr (2005), compassion is conceptualized as compassionate (sensitive) love. Compassionate (sensitive) love is defined as an attitude toward humanity that involves behavior, feeling and thinking that focuses on concern, caring and support for humanity, as well as a motivation to understand and help humanity when they are most in need (İşgör 2017b;Akdeniz and Deniz 2016).…”
