Empathy and compassionate care are essential competencies for nursing students in their interactions with patients. Reflective practice, which entails contemplating and drawing lessons from past experiences, has the potential to enhance these qualities. This study aims to investigate the influence of reflective practice on the cultivation of empathy and compassion among nursing students.
This retrospective study targeted undergraduate nursing interns who had been employed for less than six months and lacked prior clinical work experience. The research group underwent training in reflection-based practice. Following the implementation of this practice, assessments were conducted to measure the participants’ reflective practice ability, compassion, caring behaviors, and empathy skills.
Compared to the non-reflective practice group, the reflective practice group exhibited higher scores in terms of understanding, patience, perseverance, openness to adopting new ideas, emotional nursing skills, and empathy after the training. Additionally, the reflective practice group demonstrated greater compassion.
This retrospective study underscores the substantial impact of reflective practice on the development of empathy and compassion among undergraduate nursing students.

同理心和关怀性护理是护理专业学生在与患者互动时的重要能力。反思性实践，即对过去的经历进行思考并吸取教训，有可能提升这些品质。本研究旨在探讨反思性实践对护理专业学生同理心和同情心培养的影响。
本回顾性研究的对象是本科护理实习生，他们工作时间少于六个月且此前缺乏临床工作经验。研究组接受了基于反思的实践培训。在实施这种实践后，进行评估以衡量参与者的反思实践能力、同情心、关怀行为和同理心技能。
与非反思性实践组相比，反思性实践组在培训后在理解、耐心、毅力、接受新想法的开放性、情感护理技能和同理心方面得分更高。此外，反思性实践组表现出更强的同情心。
这项回顾性研究强调了反思性实践对本科护理专业学生同理心和同情心发展的重大影响。
