“…Hence, it could be argued that this type of non-cognitive empathy is not pro-social, which may serve to reduce, rather than scaffold cooperation. Uninvited, automatic nonexperienced empathy might be negatively interpreted and poorly received by the interviewee (e.g., Cuff et al, 2014;Maijala, Åstedt-Kurki, Paavilainen, & Väisänen, 2003;Tansey & Burke, 2013), and so may not be followed by the same behavioural responses as empathy emanating from perceived empathic opportunities (see Gerdes & Segal, 2009;Geer, Estupinan, & Manguno-Mire, 2000;Hodges & Biswas-Diener, 2007).…”

a b s t r a c tResearch suggests that those suspected of sexual offending might be more willing to reveal information about their crimes if interviewers display empathic behaviour. However, the literature concerning investigative empathy is in its infancy, and so as yet is not well understood. This study explores empathy in a sample of real-life interviews conducted by police officers in England with suspected sex offenders. Using qualitative methodology, the presence and type of empathic verbal behaviours displayed was examined. Resulting categories were quantitatively analysed to investigate their occurrence overall, and across interviewer gender. We identified four distinct types of empathy, some of which were used significantly more often than others. Female interviewers displayed more empathic behaviour per se by a considerable margin. La empatía sobre el terreno: hacia una taxonomía de la comunicación empática en las entrevistas para recoger información de presuntos agresores sexuales Palabras clave: Delincuentes sexuales Entrevista de investigación Empatía Recopilación de información r e s u m e n La investigación indica que las personas sospechosas de agresión sexual podrían estar más dispuestas a revelar información sobre sus delitos si los entrevistadores muestran un comportamiento empático. No obstante, los estudios sobre la empatía en la investigación están aún en mantillas, por lo que aún no se entiende bien. Este estudio explora la empatía en una muestra de entrevistas en la vida real realizadas por agentes de policía en Inglaterra con presuntos delincuentes sexuales. Se analizó mediante metodología cualitativa la presencia y el tipo de comportamientos verbales empáticos mostrados. Las categorías obtenidas se analizaron cuantitativamente con el fin de investigar su aparición global y en función del sexo del entrevistador. Se identificaron cuatro tipos diferentes de empatía, algunos de ellos utilizados con más frecuencia que otros. Las entrevistadoras mostraron mayor comportamiento empático per se por un margen considerable.

“…12 The few studies [22][23][24] conducted about preparation of parents for their baby's admission to NICU focus on the prenatal introductory tour of the NICU for parents who expect premature birth but do not pertain to parents expecting a child with congenital anomaly. In a study about prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome and decisions to continue with the pregnancy, 17 meetings or phone conversations with parents whose children had this syndrome were described as a great source of support and information.…”

Of 350,000 Canadian children born each year, 2% to 3% will have a serious congenital anomaly. Because of recent ultrasound diagnostic improvements and increased frequency of prenatal scans, many anomalies are determined prenatally, with more parents receiving disturbing, unanticipated news of an anomaly. This article highlights the experiences, concerns, and healthcare needs of parents who receive a prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomaly during routine ultrasound and choose to continue with the pregnancy. Examples from parent interviews describing their experience complement the sparse literature dealing with this phenomenon. Parents describe their experience from antenatal diagnosis and preparation for the child's birth and subsequent admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. Attention is paid to how neonatal nurses can positively influence this process by attending to parents' feelings or moods. The conclusion includes recommendations for neonatal nursing care for these vulnerable parents.

“…Work to develop the measurement tool was based on the main concept categories from Maijala's (2004) substantive theory of interaction between caregivers and families expecting a malformed child (Holzemer, Spicer, Kemppainen, & Colman, 1998;Larsson & Larsson, 2002;Maijala et al, 2003;Read et al, 2005). The substantive theory (see Figure 1) that provides the foundation for the instrument is focused on a different family situation than that for which the tool is intended.…”

This article describes the development and testing of a research instrument called Parents' Perceptions of Care (PPC). It is designed to measure the interaction between health care professionals and family members in situations where a child aged 1 to 3 years is in need of acute hospital care. Administered to the child's parents or other persons responsible for the child's care, PPC was developed using four concept categories drawn from Maijala's substantive theory of interaction. The instrument was piloted with 91 parents recruited from four hospitals in southern Finland. The construct validity of the scale was assessed by item analysis, and internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha values. The results of the statistical analysis are sufficient to encourage further psychometric development.
