“…Such a culture may negatively influence students' decision-making and ability to provide compassionate care. Therefore, a convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted to comprehensively understand students' perspectives of compassion and compassionate care and assess how students' understanding differs from international descriptions of compassion (Sundus et al, 2020).…”

Background: Effective data integration is a daunting task in mixed methods research. Several frameworks for data integration exist, but the choice of and the technique for integration depend upon the research question and design. Innovative integration techniques continuously need to be developed to tackle the integration challenge and provide alternative ways for researchers to generate plausible mixed meta-inferences.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe a new data analysis technique, tripartite analysis (TriPA), and illustrate its use in a convergent mixed-methods study. Methods:This technique was developed based on a convergent mixed-methods study underpinned by dialectical pluralism aimed to understand Pakistani nursing students' perspectives about compassion and compassionate care and how these perspectives are consistent with the conceptualizations of compassion in nursing literature.Results: TriPA entails analysis and integration using joint displays at three levels: case-by-case integrated analysis, separate and then merged quantitative and qualitative analysis, and comparative and integrated analysis of Levels I and II findings.Discussion: TriPA can enable researchers to develop a more nuanced understanding of a given phenomenon through integration at various levels by identifying linkages within cases and across the whole data set and recognizing relational connections and emerging patterns.

“…Educators need to understand the meaning of compassion experienced by student nurses to support their development (Jack & Tetley, 2016). One study showed that students considered compassion as “understanding the suffering of patients, learning about their needs, sharing and caring for the ‘whole being’”(Sundus et al, 2020). In another study, students emphasized that compassion is conveyed through the use of good interpersonal skills, and that active listening and the use of empathy are important in compassionate care (McSherry et al, 2016).…”

“…Various difficulties may be encountered in teaching compassion because it is thought to be both innate and learned (Sinclair, Norris, et al, 2016; Sundus et al, 2020). Studies have shown that compassion can be taught and developed by innovatory methods, clinical observation, reflection, and tools (Adam & Taylor, 2014; Richardson et al, 2015; Sinclair, McClement, et al, 2016; Sundus et al, 2020). In addition, it may be beneficial to ensure that the nursing curriculum has a balance of teaching‐learning strategies aimed at learning in the affective domain and to integrate compassionate care into clinical learning experiences (Younas & Maddigan, 2019).…”

To describe nursing students' perceptions of care and compassion in the context of the clinical environment. Design and Methods: This phenomenological study data were collected by focus groups and Giorgi et al. stages used in the data analysis.Findings: Sixteen students participated in this study. Four themes and 12 subthemes were determined. The themes were "Discovering the existence of care and facing up to care", "advancing on the road to becoming a nurse: from theory to practice," "compassionate care, beyond medical care," and "the effect of nursing education on professional compassion."Practice Implications: This study showed that nursing students grew by giving care and knowledge.
