Compassionate nursing

Compassion is a virtue and a necessary trait of nursing and being a nurse. It is a feeling evoked by witnessing other’s pain that leads to taking measures to help them. Compassion is the humane and moral part of caring that may lead to creation of efficient relationship between the provider and receiver of care services and better therapeutic results. According to many nursing textbooks, compassion is the philosophical foundation and centerpiece of nursing profession. Being compassionately responsive to the care needs of patients is one of the professional standards of nursing. Compassion may have direct effect on the quality of cares provided to patients so that they normally evaluate the quality of services based on the compassion demonstrated by the nurse. Providing compassionate nursing care can lead to higher satisfaction in patients, safer cares, saving time and cost, a sense of satisfaction and effectiveness in the personnel, higher confidence, and resilient skills in them. However, modern nursing is mostly based on quantitative evidences and technical skills and there is a small room left for morality and compassion. Thereby, attributes and behaviors that might be construed by patients as compassion in nurses and medical staff are not definitely recognized, so that there are several different definitions of compassionate nursing care. Papadopoulos defined recognizing the patient’s need and demonstration of attention an understanding of patients’ needs as the signs of compassion. Van der Cingel argued that compassionate nursing care is featured with paying attention, listening, dealing with patient’s problems, cooperating and accompanying the patient, helping, being available, and understanding. According to Perry, compassionate nursing care from the patient’s point of view is featured with being considerate and accurate in dealing with patient’s problems, being committed to realize and work to sooth the patient’s paint while keeping a respectful relationship with the patient. Compassionate nursing care is the main element in providing quality health services to patients and it maybe is the best and most valuable gift that a nurse can give the patient in health systems. That is way nurses have always tried and been interested to meet the patient’s need through demonstrating altruism and despite all limitations and hurdles. Recent reports and studies have demonstrated however, that the patients do not have a pleasant experience with nurses’ behaviors at clinical settings. MCabe showed that the hospitalized patients complained about the lack of a proper connection and experiencing inconsiderate, uncompassionate, and unfriendly relationship with nurses; so that according to the patients, these have led to a degradation of the quality of nursing cares. Lowen (2010) reported that 50% of hospitalized patients in the USA believed that compassion is the missing elements in nursing services. All these are reported while compassion and mercy are the foundations of nursing and along with professional knowledge and clinical skills, nurses must be committed to provide humane care with compassion to the care receivers
