Empathy and related concepts such as sympathy and compassion are considered fundamental to mental health nurses' work with consumers. However, there is often little consensus on the relationship between these interpersonal interaction factors and their similarities and differences. In this paper, these three concepts are discussed. Theoretical frameworks of empathy, sympathy, and compassion are presented with a social psychological model of empathy focused upon. From this, discussion is undertaken of how the mental health nursing process may be explained by such frameworks, as well as what unique aspects of the nursing relationship need to be considered. It is contended that precise definitions and understandings of empathy, sympathy, and compassion are vital, and the use of models allows researchers to consider where gaps are in current knowledge, and to identify what might be important to consider from a nurse education perspective.
同理心和相关概念，如同情和怜悯，被认为是精神健康护士与消费者工作的基础。然而，这些人际互动因素之间的关系及其相似点和不同点往往没有达成共识。在本文中，将讨论这三个概念。介绍了同理心、同情和怜悯的理论框架，并重点介绍了同理心的社会心理学模型。在此基础上，讨论了这些框架如何可以解释精神健康护理过程，以及护理关系中需要考虑哪些独特方面。本文认为，对同理心、同情和怜悯的精确定义和理解至关重要，而模型的使用可以使研究人员考虑当前知识中的空白，并确定从护士教育角度来看可能需要考虑的重要因素。
