Detailed Description
Values have an important place in the nursing profession. In this context, it is necessary to know the concept of compassion, which is among the values of health care.
Since the concept of Compassion-Compassion takes place in many disciplines, it has many definitions. According to the Turkish Language Association, it is defined as 'the feeling of sadness and pity for the bad situation that a person or another living thing encounters' (TDK). In the Dictionary of Bioethics Terms, it is defined as "an emotion directed towards a person or group (sometimes other than human beings) in a difficult or worse situation" .
When compassion is considered in the nursing profession, it is seen as an ethical obligation. The ethical codes and declarations of the American Nurses Association and the International Council of Nurses are also based on compassion .
While talking about care in Roach, he suggested that the concept of compassion is one of the characteristics that a caregiver should have . Cummings and Bennett defined the features required for the formation of a care culture with the concept of 6 Cs and emphasized that compassion is important here .
Compassion can be learned and developed from the environment and conditions. The purpose of education is to provide individuals with certain behaviors. Explaining compassion education to students not only increases compassion towards other individuals, but also allows them to have positive emotions, integrating the coping methods they have gained into their own lives, increasing their feelings of compassion towards themselves.
