A systematic review based on preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to explore compassionate care in nursing.

The meta-synthesis was carried out using Noblit and Hare's seven-step approach. The perspectives of 485 participants were synthesized for the meta-synthesis. Two major themes with multiple subthemes were derived from the meta-synthesis. Major themes include the construct of compassion and the attributes of compassion. The construct of compassion had various subthemes such as similarity with other constructs or negative perceptions of compassion and measures to improve compassion or inhibitors or outcomes of compassion. Similarly, the attributes of compassion had personal, caring, and relationship attributes. The knowledge, skills, and attitudes of nursing staff were reported as predominant attributes. Further, establishing a trusting relationship with the patient by using verbal and nonverbal communication skills conveyed compassion to a greater extent.
