Abstract

Background

Compassion is a core value for the professional practice of nurses, as well as a determinant of health and emotional well-being.

Aim

The aim of this research was to explore the experiences of nursing students who were trained in compassion and self-compassion as part of an undergraduate nursing course.

Methods

Qualitative descriptive study. Forty-four undergraduate nursing students participated. Semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions in electronic format were conducted. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out.

Results

Three dimensions with several categories each have been obtained: 1) The value of communication in healthcare: a) Improved Communication Skills, b) Implications for patient care; 2) The need for a more holistic and practical pedagogical approach: a) Development of Skills through Practice, b) Ability to face difficult situations; 3) Personal impact of the “human development” training process: a) Finding purpose in the profession, b) Kindness and Self-Compassion, c) Managing thoughts and emotions.

Conclusions

The results suggest the need for educational spaces that promote reflection and self-care and that integrate compassion and self-compassion into the nursing degree.

护生在学术环境下的同情心、自我同情训练经验

同情心是护士专业实践的核心价值，也是健康和情感幸福的决定因素。目的本研究旨在探讨在本科护理课程中接受同情与自我同情训练的护生的体验。方法定性描述性研究。44名护理专业本科生参与研究。进行了半结构化访谈和电子格式的开放式问题。对这些数据进行了专题分析。结果得到三个维度，每个维度都有几个类别：1)沟通在医疗保健中的价值；a)改善沟通技巧；b)对患者护理的影响；2)需要一个更全面和实用的教学方法：a)通过实践发展技能，b)面对困难情况的能力；3)“人类发展”培训过程对个人的影响：a)在职业中找到目标，b)善良和自我同情，c)管理思想和情绪。结论在护理学位课程中，需要建立促进反思和自我关怀的教育空间，并将同情和自我同情融入到护理学位课程中。
