Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of empathy training on the empathy and emotional intelligence in new employed nurses (engaged in clinical work within one year).Methods A total of 82 participants were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group (n =41).The intervention group was conducted with empathy training in addition to routine clinical guidance,the control group was only conducted with routine clinical guidance.All subjects were assessed with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI-C) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) before and after intervention.Results Immediately after the intervention and 3 months after intervention,the scores of IRI-C in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group((57.53 ±5.20) vs(50.50 ±7.64),(55.28 ±6.48) vs(46.90 ± 7.74),P ＜ 0.01).Samely,the scores of EIS in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group((131.55 ± 10.49) vs(124.35 ±9.93) ;(126.27 ± 12.87)vs(119.38 ±9.45),P＜0.01).Conclusion Conducting empathy training can improve the empathic ability and emotional intelligence of new employed nurses.
