Abstract

Background: The main role of nurses is not only to inform about the disease and treatment of the patient but also to establish an effective therapeutic relationship to address concerns and provide empathy, comfort, and support. This issue is very prominent in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and doubles the importance of empathetic communication between nurses and parents and promoting empathy skills in nurses working in neonatal intensive care units.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a support program on the empathy of neonatal intensive care nurses across the Iran.

Methods: This study was conducted in 2021 as a semi-experimental intervention in a group of 166 nurses working in the neonatal department all over Iran who met the inclusion criteria. Jefferson's empathy questionnaire was completed electronically by the participants before and after the online education program start. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (V 24.0).

Results: The empathy score of nurses was 60.31 ± 5.76 before and 66.47 ±6.60 after the intervention. The empathy scores of nurses after the intervention increased statistically significantly.

Conclusion: Nurses can communicate empathically with parents by training their verbal and nonverbal communication skills and gaining a common understanding of the feelings of parents of premature infants.

精神病护理计划对伊朗新生儿重症监护护士移情能力的影响。
背景:护士的主要职责不仅是告知患者疾病和治疗方法,还要建立有效的治疗关系,以解决患者的担忧,并提供同理心、安慰和支持。这一问题在新生儿重症监护室(NICU)中非常突出,因此护士与家长之间的同理心沟通以及促进新生儿重症监护室护士同理心技能的重要性加倍:这项研究于 2021 年进行,是一项半实验性干预,对象是伊朗各地符合纳入标准的 166 名新生儿科护士。在线教育项目开始前后,参与者通过电子方式填写杰弗逊移情问卷。数据使用 SPSS 软件(V 24.0)进行分析:干预前和干预后,护士的移情得分分别为(60.31 ± 5.76)和(66.47 ± 6.60)。干预后,护士的移情得分在统计学上有明显提高:结论:护士可以通过训练语言和非语言沟通技巧,对早产儿父母的感受有一个共同的理解,从而与父母进行移情沟通。
