Filter by:This study aims to investigate the efficacy of empathy training for future psychological counselors in university students. The training contains 5 sessions of psychoeducation, three-role group exercises, and Q&A. Self-reported, listener-reported, and observer-reported measurements will be applied for empathy assessment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effects of Christian and Islamic heart-centred spiritual meditation to mindfulness meditation and waitlist control conditions, respectively, in healthy adults. The potential effects will be studied at multiple levels, with a focus on psychophysiology, cognition, mental health, and social functioning.
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.
The increased cultural diversity in client populations in mental healthcare settings led to the addition of the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The CFI aims to clarify clients' vision, experiences, and context to improve communication about cultural backgrounds, increase mutual understanding and rapport, and prevent cultural misunderstandings. Empirical evidence of this effect in clinical practice is still lacking. This study investigates whether the CFI influences the therapeutic working alliance between a client with a migration background and a clinician, and the informant version of the CFI (CFI-I) influences the relationship between a client's informant and a clinician, focusing on the role of perceived cultural empathy as moderator, or mediator in this interaction. A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) will be performed among clients with a migratory background in four mental healthcare centers in the Netherlands. The participants in this study are adults with a migratory background, aged 18 years and older, their informants, and clinicians. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups. In the intervention group, the CFI and CFI-Informant version (CFI-I) were used shortly after admission and intake, and the control group received a clinical assessment as usual. Included informants were assessed with the CFI-I or hetero-anamneses by the participating clinicians. The main outcome measure is the work alliance between clients and their clinicians. This will be evaluated using the Work Alliance Questionnaire. Perceived cultural empathy as a potential mediator or moderator will be measured with the Barrett-Lennart Relationship Inventory among clients and informants, and the Scale of Ethnocultural Empathy among clinicians. The clients and informants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. They will all fill out a questionnaire about perceived cultural empathy after the first, and two questionnaires about work alliance, and perceived cultural empathy after five treatment sessions. The clinicians will perform the clinical assessments with or without the CFI and fill out a questionnaire about self-perceived cultural empathy after the first session and two questionnaires about work alliance and cultural empathy after a maximum of five given treatments. There is no physical, behavioral, or medical intervention included in the research protocol.
The aim of project EMPACOL will be to investigate, while taking into consideration the clinical factors known and well described in the literature, among the non-clinical factors, in particular, patient-healthcare personnel (HCP) relationship, a link between HCP's empathy perceived by the patient, and the results of the curative treatment of non-metastatic colorectal cancer, throughout the patient's care.
