Compassion is a topical issue in clinical nursing practice, nurse education and policy, but a review of the literature reveals that nursing students' experiences of compassionate care receives little attention. In this three-part series David Hunter and colleagues explore compassion in emergency departments (EDs) from nursing students' point of view. Part 1 provides findings of a professional doctorate study of nursing students' experiences of compassionate care in EDs, part 2 explores the barriers to compassionate care in this clinical setting that emerged from the study, and part 3 considers factors that enable and support compassionate care provision in EDs.
The aim of the study was to explore nursing students' experiences of the provision of compassionate care in EDs.
The underpinning methodology was an exploratory-descriptive qualitative design. A total of 15 nursing students from across the west of Scotland, who had been placed in eight different EDs, participated in face-to-face interviews which were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed.
Two major themes emerged 'doing the little things' and 'a strange, new world: the uniqueness of the ED'. The students also identified barriers and enablers to providing compassionate care which are discussed in parts two and three.
Despite the challenges of working in the most acute of clinical settings, nurses can provide compassionate care to patients and their relatives. However, this is not universal because certain groups of patients considered 'challenging' do not receive equitable compassionate care.
同情心是临床护理实践、护理教育及政策中的一个热门话题，但文献综述显示，护理专业学生在提供富有同情心护理方面的经历很少受到关注。在这个分为三部分的系列文章中，大卫·亨特及其同事从护理专业学生的角度探讨了急诊科的同情心问题。第1部分介绍了一项关于护理专业学生在急诊科提供富有同情心护理经历的专业博士研究的结果，第2部分探讨了该研究中出现的在这种临床环境下提供富有同情心护理的障碍，第3部分则考虑了在急诊科促成并支持提供富有同情心护理的因素。
本研究的目的是探讨护理专业学生在急诊科提供富有同情心护理的经历。
基础方法是探索性描述性定性设计。来自苏格兰西部各地、被安排在八个不同急诊科的15名护理专业学生参加了面对面访谈，访谈进行了录音、转录和分析。
出现了两个主要主题：“做小事”和“一个陌生的新世界：急诊科的独特性”。学生们还确定了提供富有同情心护理的障碍和促成因素，将在第2部分和第3部分进行讨论。
尽管在最急症的临床环境中工作存在挑战，但护士仍可为患者及其亲属提供富有同情心的护理。然而，情况并非普遍如此，因为某些被认为“具有挑战性”的患者群体并未得到公平的富有同情心的护理。
