Compassion Practices, Nurse Well-Being, and Ambulatory Patient Experience Ratings
Compassion practices represent an under-explored organizational tool that may aid clinician well-being and positively impact health care experiences. This study, published in Medical Care, examines the relationships between compassion practices, nurse well-being, and patients’ experience ratings in outpatient care clinics. Compassion practices are negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and positively associated with psychological vitality in nurses, better patient perceptions of caring and overall clinic ratings. Analyses of the results suggest that nurse well-being mediates the relationship between compassion practices and patient care experience.
