Chen AMH, Blakely ML, Daugherty KK, Kiersma ME, Meny LM, Pereira R. Meaningful connections: Exploring empathy and professional identity formation. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION 2024:100725. [PMID: 38810953 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpe.2024.100725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the literature on connections between empathy and professional identity formation (PIF) in pharmacy and other health professions education. METHODS A PRISMA-Scoping Review (PRISMA-SCr) methodology was used for this study. Searches were conducted in PubMed and CINAHL from 2010-January 12, 2023, with English added as a limiter. Articles had to address both empathy and PIF, whether implicitly or explicitly. "Theory Talk" was modified and utilized with six levels of connectedness to assess article quality. RESULTS A total of 419 articles were reviewed for inclusion into the study with a total of 45 articles being included. Seventeen (37.8%) and 12 (26.7%) included a definition for empathy and PIF, respectively. Thirty-eight (84.4%) articles implicitly discussed a connection between PIF and empathy. Educational initiatives that fostered connections between empathy and PIF focused on classroom activities, clinical rotation activities, and assessments. Key elements to enhance empathy and PIF development across articles focused on mentorship, role models, and reflective practice alongside intentional curricular integration. Similarly, barriers to empathy and PIF are multi-faceted. CONCLUSIONS Despite educational initiatives in the literature that attempt to foster connections between empathy and PIF in classroom activities, clinical rotation activities, and assessments, most connections are implicit as opposed to explicit. This may be due to the multiple barriers, such as the hidden curriculum, which make the connection between empathy and PIF difficult. This area needs further research and development given the importance of empathy in all health care provider interactions.

Nie J, Ahmadi Dehrashid H. Evaluation of student failure in higher education by an innovative strategy of fuzzy system combined optimization algorithms and AI. Heliyon 2024; 10:e29182. [PMID: 38867939 PMCID: PMC11168195 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This research suggests two novel metaheuristic algorithms to enhance student performance: Harris Hawk's Optimizer (HHO) and the Earthworm Optimization Algorithm (EWA). In this sense, a series of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) proposed models were trained using these methods. The selection of the best-fit model depends on finding an excellent connection between inputs and output(s) layers in training and testing datasets (e.g., a combination of expert knowledge, experimentation, and validation techniques). The study's primary result is a division of the participants into two performance-based groups (failed and non-failed). The experimental data used to build the models measured fourteen process variables: relocation, gender, age at enrollment, debtor, nationality, educational special needs, current tuition fees, scholarship holder, unemployment, inflation, GDP, application order, day/evening attendance, and admission grade. During the model evaluation, a scoring system was created in addition to using mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and area under the curve (AUC) to assess the efficacy of the utilized approaches. Further research revealed that the HHO-ANFIS is superior to the EWA-ANFIS. With AUC = 0.8004 and 0.7886, MSE of 0.62689 and 0.65598, and MAE of 0.64105 and 0.65746, the failure of the pupils was assessed with the most significant degree of accuracy. The MSE, MAE, and AUC precision indicators showed that the EWA-ANFIS is less accurate, having MSE amounts of 0.71543 and 0.71776, MAE amounts of 0.70819 and 0.71518, and AUC amounts of 0.7565 and 0.758. It was found that the optimization algorithms have a high ability to increase the accuracy and performance of the conventional ANFIS model in predicting students' performance, which can cause changes in the management of the educational system and improve the quality of academic programs.

Abstract
Healthcare has significantly contributed to the well-being of individuals around the globe; nevertheless, further benefits could be derived from a more streamlined healthcare system without incurring additional costs. Recently, the main attributes of cloud computing, such as on-demand service, high scalability, and virtualization, have brought many benefits across many areas, especially in medical services. It is considered an important element in healthcare services, enhancing the performance and efficacy of the services. The current state of the healthcare industry requires the supply of healthcare products and services, increasing its viability for everyone involved. Developing new approaches for discovering and selecting healthcare services in the cloud has become more critical due to the rising popularity of these kinds of services. As a result of the diverse array of healthcare services, service composition enables the execution of intricate operations by integrating multiple services' functionalities into a single procedure. However, many methods in this field encounter several issues, such as high energy consumption, cost, and response time. This article introduces a novel layered method for selecting and evaluating healthcare services to find optimal service selection and composition solutions based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL), Kalman filtering, and repeated training, addressing the aforementioned issues. The results revealed that the proposed method has achieved acceptable results in terms of availability, reliability, energy consumption, and response time when compared to other methods.

Abstract
Background Researchers and practitioners are concerned with the impact of work-family conflict on the well-being of workers, including those in the health care sector, and previous research suggested that nurses were experiencing a range of negative outcomes. Aim To investigate the potentially mediating role of self-compassion and moderating role of gratitude in the relationships between work-family conflict and both life satisfaction and happiness among Saudi nurses. Method A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 368 nurses (men age = 35.18, SD = 6.67, 70.65% of females). Nurses were recruited via social media using convenience sampling techniques. They completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Subjective Happiness Scale, the Gratitude Questionnaire-6, the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Work-Family Conflict Scale, as well as a set of demographic questions. The data were analyzed using PROCESS MACRO model 4 and 8, and the reporting followed STROBE checklist. Results As expected, the study found a negative relationship between work-family conflict and both life satisfaction and happiness. These relationships were mediated by self-compassion. For the relationships between work-family conflict and life satisfaction and happiness, and between family-work conflict and happiness, this mediation was moderated by gratitude. Conclusion This study built on positive psychology and demonstrated that the positive personality traits of self-compassion and gratitude can engender enhanced life satisfaction and happiness among Saudi nurses.

Abstract
The development of an empathetic approach when working with parents and families is fundamental to both social work and children's nursing; however, opportunities to develop this are limited. RealCare Baby infant simulator dolls were used with the aim of enabling students to gain an empathetic insight into parenting. A qualitative, evaluation study involving semistructured interviews with 10 social work and 11 children's nursing students was undertaken to evaluate experiences and views of infant simulator dolls, in relation to professional learning. Using reflexive thematic analysis of interview data, six key themes were identified: (1) positive experiences, (2) challenges, (3) impact on self, (4) empathy toward parents, (5) realism and (6) learning by reflection. All themes were evident from the participants' accounts in the context of the parenting experience. In addition to the overall positive impact on students, practical and technical challenges were also identified. However, despite these difficulties, participants valued the learning experience gained from caring for a doll and many articulated how an empathetic understanding of the parenting role was enhanced. This will potentially enable social work and children's nursing students to support parents more sensitively and empathetically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the alterations of the Chinese epidemic prevention policy, China experienced a nationwide wave of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from December 2022 to January 2023.The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic extends beyond individual perceptions of the meaning of life and attitudes toward life and death; it also affects the professional identity of nursing students.This study explored nursing students' professional identity and life meaning of affected by the pandemic. METHODS An online survey was conducted using the Chinese version of the Nursing Student Career Identity Scale and the Chinese version of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire to assess the current status of nursing students' professional identity and sense of life meaning. Data were also collected on participant gender, education, clinical practice experience, and COVID-19 infection. RESULTS The scores for nursing students' sense of professional identity (61.58 ± 16.16) and sense of life meaning (45.29 ± 12.65) were both at an intermediate level. Compared to the scores before the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese nursing students' professional identity scores increased, while their sense of life meaning scores decreased. Moreover, we found a positive correlation between professional identity and sense of life meaning (p < 0.001); nursing students exhibited a stronger professional identity when they had a relatively higher sense of life meaning than those with a relatively lower sense of life meaning. CONCLUSION Enhancing nursing students' sense of meaning in life is crucial for maintaining their professional identity. Attention should be given to life education for nursing students and the development of relevant educational curricula.

Abstract
AIM The study examined the differences in nursing student empathy, caring behavior and competence between the experimental and control groups before and after educational intervention and to predict the factors affecting their core competencies. BACKGROUND Educating nursing students in empathy and caring behaviors before entering clinical practice is challenging. DESIGN We used a two-group pretest and post-test quasi-experimental design. METHODS First-year nursing students from medical schools in Taiwan participated in our study. Data were collected between March and May 2022. The learning method used with the intervention group was role-playing with videos and guided reflection. The control group was exposed to traditional curriculum. Empathy, caring behavior and competence were measured using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy- Healthcare Providers, the Caring Behaviors Scale and the Nursing Student Competence Scale. RESULT A total of 72 participants (40 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group) were included in the final statistical analysis. The response rate was 92%. Statistically significant differences in nursing student empathy, caring behavior and competence were observed between the experimental and control groups (p < .05). The η2 effect levels were 0.083, 0.223 and 0.270. Higher caring behavior scores were significantly associated with higher nursing student competence scores (β = 0.81, 95% CI:0.66-0.97). CONCLUSIONS Education based on video role-play and guided reflection improved empathy, caring behavior and nursing competence in first-year nursing students.

Abstract
This study investigated the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) clinical practicum status during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for extended reality (XR)-based training for neonatal care. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 132 prelicensing nursing students. Data were analyzed using importance-performance analysis and Borich needs analysis. Students wanted to use XR to learn about treating high-risk preterm infants. COVID-19 limited clinical training in NICUs, and most students preferred training in XR programs to improve their nursing competency for neonates. There is a large demand for nursing skills concerning high-risk newborns and hands-off training.

Abstract
Background Studies have reported that empathy had a positive effect on professional identity (PI) in nursing students. However, little was known about the mechanism underlying this relationship between empathy and professional identity in nursing students. Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze in depth the mediating effect of workplace violence (WVP) between empathy and professional identity in nursing students. Methods A total of 405 nursing students participated and were investigated using the Chinese version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professional (JSE-HP), the scale of professional identity about nursing students, and the workplace violence Incident Survey in this study. Hierarchical regression was used to analyze the mediating effect of workplace violence on the relationship between empathy and professional identity among nursing students. Results The score of nursing students' professional identity was 103.69 ± 17.79. Workplace violence had a significant negative correlation with empathy (r = -0.449, P < 0.001) and professional identity (r = -0.330, P < 0.001). Workplace violence accounted for 14.59% of the total mediating effect on the relationship between empathy and professional identity for nursing students. Conclusions In this study, the level of professional identity of nursing students was low. Workplace violence had a partially significantly mediating effect on the relationship between empathy and professional identity. Maybe, it was suggested that nursing students' professional identity might be improved and driven by a decrease in workplace violence. Targeted interventions at reducing nursing students' workplace violence should be developed and implemented. In addition, nursing managers and educators should be aware of the importance of empathy and improve professional identity in nursing students.

Abstract
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a complex environment where patients, family members and healthcare professionals have their own personal experiences. Improving ICU experiences necessitates the involvement of all stakeholders. This holistic approach will invariably improve the care of ICU survivors, increase family satisfaction and staff wellbeing, and contribute to dignified end-of-life care. Inclusive and transparent participation of the industry can be a significant addition to develop tools and strategies for delivering this holistic care. We present a report, which follows a round table on ICU experience at the annual congress of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. The aim is to discuss the current evidence on patient, family and healthcare professional experience in ICU is provided, together with the panel’s suggestions on potential improvements. Combined with industry, the perspectives of all stakeholders suggest that ongoing improvement of ICU experience is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that empathy has a positive impact on the professional identity of nursing students. And developing psychological resilience can improve the professional identity of nursing students. However, studies investigating the mechanism of the relationship between empathy and psychological resilience on professional identity remain few. PURPOSE Among Chinese nursing students, we sought to determine whether psychological resilience mediates the association between empathy and professional identity. METHODS A total of 495 undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students in a medical university nursing college in Hefei were investigated by demographic data questionnaire, nursing students' empathy scale, nursing students' professional identity questionnaire, and psychological resilience questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the mediating effect of psychological resilience between empathy and the professional identity of nursing students. RESULTS The total score of professional identity of nursing students was 57.07 ± 10.38. Psychological resilience (r = 0.316, P < 0.01) and professional identity (r = 0.313, P < 0.01) both had positive correlations with empathy, respectively. Additionally, there was a strong correlation between psychological resilience and professional identity (r = 0.488, P < 0.01). Empathy had an indirect effect on professional identity through psychological resilience, with a direct effect of 0.256 and an indirect effect of 0.145, and the indirect effect accounted for 36.16 % of the total effect. CONCLUSION Nursing educators should pay attention to the cultivation of empathy ability and psychological resilience to enhance nursing students' professional identity.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of a violence-prevention education program using empathy (VPEP-E) on elementary school students. This quasi-experimental design examined fifth-grade students' (a) empathy level, (b) perception of violence, and (c) permissive and negligent attitudes toward violence, using a pre- and post-test design. A total of 101 students participated: the experimental group (n = 48) received eight sessions of VPEP-E, whereas the control group (n = 53) received violence prevention education through classroom lectures. Significant differences were observed between the groups' empathy level (t = 6.81, p < .001), perception of violence (t = 2.79, p = .006), and permissive and negligent attitudes toward violence (t = -2.21, p = .030; t = -2.02, p = .046). Thus, a school-based VPEP-E may help elementary school students. Long-term studies evaluating behavioral changes from VPEP-E implementation are needed for establishing the effects on violent behavior.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of a professional identity promotion strategy (PIPS) on nursing students' professional identity and resilience. Methods This study was a quasi‐experimental study with a random cluster sample of 103 sophomore undergraduate nursing students. One hundred students answered the questionnaires at both baseline and follow‐up (51 of 53 in the intervention group and 49 of 50 in the control group). Intervention and control groups underwent 5 months PIPS and standard professional education from May 2 to September 27, respectively. Participants completed the professional identity questionnaire for nursing students (PIQNS) and Connor–Davidson resilience scale (CD‐RISC). Data were collected at baseline (T0), after the intervention (T1) and 3 months after the intervention (T2), and analyzed using the Chi‐squared test, Fisher's exact test, and repeated‐measures analysis of variance. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups (p > .05) regarding demographic questions, professional identity, or resilience at baseline (p > .05). Significant differences were found in professional identity between groups (p < .001), measurement times (p = .026), and in the interaction between groups and measurement times (p = .018) from T0 to T2. Significant differences were found in resilience between groups (p < .001), measurement times (p = .007), and in the interaction between groups and measurement times (p = .035) from T0 to T2. Conclusions The PIPS program improved nursing students' professional identity and resilience. Further long‐term effectiveness of the program needs to be tested with implementation through various forms of mobile technology.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to determine the compassionate communication levels of nursing students and the predictive roles of empathic skills and nursing communication courses. DESIGN AND METHODS This descriptive study was conducted with 430 nursing students and data were analyzed using a descriptive information form, Compassionate Communication Scale (CCS), and Empathic Skill Scale (ESS). FINDINGS A positive relationship was found between the students' ESS and CCS scores (r = .23 p = 0.001). Empathic skills (β = 0.43, p = 0.001), predicted compassionate communication (β = 0.23, p = 0.001), compassionate conversation (β = 0.43, p = 0.001), and compassionate touch (β = 0.18, p = 0.001). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Skills of compassion and empathy positively affect each other; therefore, it is important to adopt strategies that strengthen the empathic skills of nursing students during academic education and to include empathy and compassion in the curriculum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness of simulation-based interventions in improving empathy among healthcare students. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials. DATA SOURCES Studies in English language were sourced from seven electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global) from their respective inception dates until October 2020. REVIEW METHODS This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Random-effect meta-analyses were conducted. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistics and Cochran's Q chi-squared test. Quality appraisal was conducted using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots. RESULTS Sixteen studies were included in this review. Meta-analysis reported statistically significant small, medium and very large effect sizes for empathy reported by healthcare students (SMD = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.66), simulated patients (SMD = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.41 to 0.89) and other personnel (independent observers, faculty members and examiners) (SMD = 1.27, 95% CI: 0.64 to 1.90) respectively, showing the effectiveness of simulation-based interventions in improving empathy among healthcare students. Subgroup analyses found that role-play was more effective than simulated patient and disease-state simulations. Multi-sessional interventions conducted for up to seven months and group-based simulation delivery were found to be more effective. CONCLUSION Educational institutions should conduct regular simulation-based interventions to continuously develop healthcare students' empathy during their academic journey. Future trials should involve students from more diverse healthcare disciplines. Empathy should be measured in a standardized manner and rely less on self-reported measures. Role-play segments and group-based simulations could be added to increase interventions' effectiveness. Studies should conduct longer follow-up assessments to determine the sustainability of students' empathy following intervention. Future research is needed to corroborate the current findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE While clinical practice is crucial for nursing students to acquire the skills needed to provide professional, high-quality nursing care, further studies on improving undergraduate nursing programs are needed to provide a supportive clinical learning environment for student nurses. This study aimed to understand nursing students' clinical experiences in newborn nurseries and neonatal intensive care units and to provide basic data for the establishment of strategies to promote effective clinical education. METHODS Interviews were held with 15 nursing students at J University who had clinical practice experience in the newborn nursery and neonatal intensive care unit. The collected data were analyzed using the phenomenological analysis method developed by Colaizzi (1978). RESULTS The nursing students' experiences were grouped into four categories: expectations for and anxiety about clinical practice, acquisition of a wide range of knowledge regarding neonatal nursing, challenges faced in clinical practice, and experiencing interpersonal changes. CONCLUSION The current neonatal practice nursing education system provides students with positive learning experiences. However, the lack of practice opportunities, insufficient instruction, and the theory-practice gap were identified as major issues hindering students' learning needs. These study results are expected to provide basic data for curriculum development to improve undergraduate nursing education.
