ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the impact of empathy training programs on operating room nurses.Methods:A total of 100 internship nurses from the first phase and the second phase of clinical practice in the operation room of Liaocheng People′s Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 were randomly selected. They were divided into the control group and the experimental group by randomized picking method. The experimental group was given empathy training intervention, and the control group students did not have the above training. The demographics of each intern student were recorded. The control group did not have the above training; the experimental group did three epistemological questionnaires immediately before the training, three weeks after the training and one month after the training, and the control group did not know the experimental group empathy training, at the same time as the experimental group, did three empathy questionnaire scores. Comparing the experimental group and the control group, the scores of the questionnaires in each stage of the experimental group were statistically different.Results:There were 48 nursing students in the control group and 45 nursing students in the experimental group. Before the training and immediately after the training, the median score of the empathy questionnaire was 107 points and 120 points. There was statistical difference ( U value was 6.53, P < 0.05). The median score of the empathy questionnaire for the 1 month after the training in the experimental group was 122 points, which was statistically different from that before the training ( U value was 7.53, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of the questionnaires in the immediately after the training and 1 month after the training between the control group and the experimental group ( U values were 6.34, 6.67, P<0.05). Conclusions:Through the empathy training program, the scores of empathy nurses in the operating room can be effectively improved.
