Abstract

Background

Compassionate care is essential for enhancing patient outcomes and satisfaction. Despite established positive outcomes, the effectiveness of simulation-based training in fostering compassionate behaviors among nurses remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the impact of simulation-based compassionate care training on nurses' caring behavior, self-efficacy and compassion competence.

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of simulation-based compassionate care training on nurses' caregiving behavior, self-efficacy and compassion competence.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design was employed with 100 nurses from the Medical City, Qassim University simulation center. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling and allocated to an intervention group, which received simulation-based training and a control group. Data were collected using standardized scales measuring caregiving behavior, self-efficacy and compassion competence before and after the training from November 2024 to January 2025.

Results

The intervention group exhibited significant improvements in caregiving behavior (from 44.2 to 77.32, p < 0.001), self-efficacy (from 21.16 to 33.72, p < 0.001) and compassion competence across its domains of communication, sensitivity and insight, with p-values indicating statistically significant changes. In contrast, the control group showed minimal changes across these domains, with p-values indicating no significant differences.

Conclusion

The findings highlight the effectiveness of simulation-based compassionate care training in enhancing nurses' caregiving behaviors, self-efficacy and compassionate competence. Integrating such training into nursing education is essential for improving patient care quality and fostering a compassionate healthcare environment.

护理中的同情关怀：基于模拟的同情关怀对护士关怀行为、自我效能感和同情能力的作用

背景：富有同情心的护理对于提高患者的治疗效果和满意度至关重要。尽管取得了积极的成果，但模拟培训在培养护士同情心行为方面的有效性仍未得到充分探索。本研究通过评估模拟关怀训练对护士关怀行为、自我效能感和同情能力的影响来填补这一空白。目的探讨基于模拟的同情护理训练对护士护理行为、自我效能感和同情能力的影响。方法采用准实验设计，选取卡西姆大学医学城模拟中心的100名护士。采用方便抽样方法招募参与者，并将其分配到干预组和对照组，干预组接受模拟培训。采用标准化量表对2024年11月至2025年1月培训前后的护理行为、自我效能感和同情能力进行测量。结果干预组在护理行为（从44.2提高到77.32,p <； 0.001）、自我效能感（从21.16提高到33.72,p <； 0.001）和同情能力（沟通、敏感性和洞察力）方面均有显著改善，p值有统计学意义。相比之下，对照组在这些领域的变化很小，p值表明没有显著差异。结论基于模拟的同情关怀培训对提高护士的护理行为、自我效能感和同情能力具有重要作用。将此类培训纳入护理教育对于提高患者护理质量和培养富有同情心的医疗保健环境至关重要。

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
