Video-Based Empathy Training for Nurses

Nurses should provide health care services to healthy/sick individuals, families and society with a holistic and holistic approach. Nurses, who are holistic care providers, see the individual/patient as a whole within his own environment and know that he consists of body, mind and spirit. In general, holistic care addresses people's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs, enabling them to cope with their illnesses and improve their lives. The helpful and supportive nature of the nursing profession is always at the forefront. Empathy in nursing care is one of the basic components of the relationship established with the nurse and the person being cared for. In a holistic and humanistic approach, nurses need to approach individuals with an empathetic attitude in order to understand their needs correctly and achieve more positive results. However, the nursing profession has difficulty in establishing empathy due to many negative factors in the work environment and cannot exhibit a humanistic approach. Based on this, it was aimed to determine the effect of video-based empathy training on nurses' empathy skill level and holistic nursing competence.
