“…Furthermore, in our study the nurses who were married or had children reported higher empathy, but these effects were not found in Turkish oncology nurses [58]. Although, our findings didn't show any correlation between nurses' level of empathy and their work experience in the nursing field, earlier studies showed different results, from no changes in empathy [58,59] to empathy reduction [57,60] or increase [50].…”

Background: Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of others and understand their feelings and experiences. Empathy with cancer patients is essential in all disease stages. The purpose of our study was to determine the level and type of empathy in a sample of Iranian oncology nurses and to investigate the relationship between nurses' empathy and their demographic characteristics. Methods: This is a descriptive study with cross-sectional design, which was carried out by a convenience sample of oncology nurses (n = 181). They answered the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Nursing Student version R (JSE-NS version R), and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Independent t-test and ANOVA were used to determine the difference of empathy based on various demographic variables. The relationship between empathy and significant demographic variables were evaluated by multiple linear regression (MLR) analyses. Results: The mean age of the oncology nurses was 34.9 ± 6.7 years. The mean score of empathy was 106 ± 16.5 (range of 20-140) using the JSE-NS version R. Based on the IRI subscales, the mean score of empathic concern (20.5 ± 5.8) was higher in comparison with the subscales of perspective-taking (14.6 ± 3.5), fantasy (11.0 ± 5.5), and personal distress (14.0 ± 4.5). MLR models showed that the variables of age (β = 0.22, p ≤ 0.005), marital status (β = 0. 21, p ≤ 0.006), and having children, (β = 0.19, p ≤ 0.012) predicted 22% of changes in the nurses' empathy, respectively. Discussion: This study showed that empathy is more emotional than cognitive in this sample of oncology nurses. As a cognitive response is more dependent on subjective judgments, there is a possibility to increase the level of this kind of empathy. Conclusions: Empowering oncology nurses is necessary in the field of cognitive empathy, by periodic measurements, and in-service training programs with focus on nurses' experiences.

“…Which is in line with other researchers who reported that human needs assistance category as the most important caring behaviors as perceived by nurses. [33,34] Similarly to Pajnkihar et al (2017) results which entitled the carative factor needs as the highest caring behaviors as perceived by nurses. [35] This is contradicting with O'Connell and Landers (2008) who reported that the highest score of nurses caring behaviors was related to humanism/faith/hope/sensitivity domain of caring.…”

Objective: To assess the critical care nurses’ perception of their caring behaviors and factors affecting these behaviors.Methods: Participants of this descriptive correlational exploratory study included 277 critical care nurses selected conveniently from nurses worked in all critical care units in King Khalid Hospital, Jeddah. A self-reported questionnaire namely, “Critical Care Nurses Caring Behavior Perception” developed by the researchers after reviewing related literature was used to assess caring behaviors and their affecting factors as perceived by critical care nurses.Results: Seventy percent of the nurses aged between 31 to 50 years old and more than half of nurses had ICU experience ranged from 6 to 10 years, while two thirds of nurses had no previous training about caring behaviors. The study findings revealed that the majority of nurses had high scores of perceived caring behaviors, whereas the mean of their perception was 296.96 ± 18.32. There was a statistical significant positive relationship between nurses’ perception and their work circumstances, workload, job satisfaction, educational background and patient characteristics.Conclusions: It is important to consider critical units’ circumstances, nurses’ educational background, job satisfaction, as well as the nature of critically ill patients in order to promote nurses awareness and implementation of caring behaviors. Moreover, replication of the current study using qualitative approach for in-depth analysis of the impact of factors could affecting caring behaviors on nurses’ perception in various highly specialized critical care units.

Facial emotion recognition ability: psychiatry nurses versus nurses from other departments Abstract Purpose: Facial emotion recognition is a basic element in non-verbal communication.Although some researchers have shown that recognizing facial expressions may be important in the interaction between doctors and patients, there are no studies concerning facial emotion recognition in nurses. Here, we aimed to investigate facial emotion recognition ability in nurses and compare the abilities between nurses from psychiatry and other departments. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, sixty seven nurses were divided into two groups according to their departments: psychiatry (n=31); and, other departments (n=36). A Facial Emotion Recognition Test, constructed from a set of photographs from Ekman and Friesen's book "Pictures of Facial Affect", was administered to all participants.Results: In whole group, the highest mean accuracy rate of recognizing facial emotion was the happy (99.14%) while the lowest accurately recognized facial expression was fear (47.71%). There were no significant differences between two groups among mean accuracy rates in recognizing happy, sad, fear, angry, surprised facial emotion expressions (for all, p>0.05). The ability of recognizing disgusted and neutral facial emotions tended to be better in other nurses than psychiatry nurses (p=0.052 and p=0.053, respectively) Conclusion: This study was the first that revealed indifference in the ability of FER between psychiatry nurses and non-psychiatry nurses. In medical education curricula throughout the world, no specific training program is scheduled for recognizing emotional cues of patients. We considered that improving the ability of recognizing facial emotion expression in medical stuff might be beneficial in reducing inappropriate patient-medical stuff interaction.SUPPLEMENT
