ABSTRACT
The concepts of sympathy and empathy are well entrenched in social and medical literature. In this article, we explore a relatively less explored construct, compathy. Compathy, defined as feelings that are shared with others, is a higher level of emotional maturity, which helps in achieving better quality care. We propose further discussion and debate on how to measure, attain, and maintain compathy in chronic care practice.
