Abstract

A woman's vulnerability is never greater than during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Quality healthcare delivery rest on actual interactions between patients and providers. Empathy has been acknowledged as a crucial component of patient care, benefiting both patients and medical staff. The patient-centered approach is considered an effective strategy to deliver successful patient care when healthcare professionals are more sensitive and attentive to the requirements of patients. Empathy means sharing another person's feelings and showing kindness to alleviate their misery or anguish. It is widely acknowledged as the essential component of nursing and midwifery care and regarded as the component of quality care. However, because it varies from practitioner to practitioner and from patient to patient, it is difficult to understand how compassion presents itself in the delivery of treatment. Midwives' compassionate attitudes and actions have a direct impact on obstetric outcomes. Even though scholars are studying the concept of empathy in nursing, little is known about what empathy in midwifery entails and how patients see it. Many advantages for patient communication, patient satisfaction, and treatment adherence are linked to healthcare professionals' empathy. This paper aims to examine the works of literature on the concept of empathy and highlight how crucial it is to provide care in the context of maternal healthcare.

移情在孕产妇保健分娩中的重要性
女性在怀孕、分娩和产后最容易受到伤害。高质量的医疗服务取决于患者和提供者之间的实际互动。同理心被认为是病人护理的重要组成部分,对病人和医务人员都有好处。当医疗保健专业人员对患者的需求更加敏感和关注时,以患者为中心的方法被认为是提供成功患者护理的有效策略。同理心意味着分享他人的感受,并表现出善意来减轻他们的痛苦或痛苦。它被广泛认为是护理和助产护理的基本组成部分,并被视为优质护理的组成部分。然而,由于不同的医生和不同的病人都不一样,所以很难理解同情心是如何在治疗过程中表现出来的。助产士富有同情心的态度和行动对产科结果有直接影响。尽管学者们正在研究护理中的移情概念,但对于助产学中的移情意味着什么以及患者如何看待它,人们知之甚少。患者沟通、患者满意度和治疗依从性的许多优势都与医疗保健专业人员的同理心有关。本文旨在研究关于移情概念的文献作品,并强调在孕产妇保健背景下提供护理的重要性。
