Being inspired by a relational emancipatory pedagogy perspective, our findings highlighted an authentic engagement of educators as the cornerstone to fostering a safe, caring, and inclusive learning space, allowing them to co-create a humanistic collaboration with students to transform their learning process. Innovative and various avenues arising from our findings have been suggested in different domains of nursing practice to promote students’ learning and develop a caring inclusive learning community within simulation centers.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"30 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, a common understanding of love in nursing was not located, and very few studies have attempted to describe the concept of love in nursing. This concept analysis aimed to analyze the concept of love in nursing by accounting for the views of scholars and Iranian intellectuals using the seven stages of Meleis’s conceptualization. Based on the perspectives of Iranian intellectuals, the love and affection of nurses toward their patients derive from their love of God. This affection is inherent in nurses and manifests itself during nursing practice. The results indicated that love in nursing is the excessive affection/compassion that nurses have toward their patients and is derived from loving God and nurses’ desire to achieve excellence, which is God. Loving patients leads to nurses’ growth and spiritual development.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"94 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140480781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings of this review revealed that compassion has been defined in a variety of methods, often based on the discipline in which the term is being defined. However, the empirical evidence attempts to define compassion across disciplines, which may present challenges and, as a result, be wrongly characterized and defined.","PeriodicalId":92527,"journal":{"name":"International journal for human caring","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140509618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
