Effect of structured empathy education on empathy competency of undergraduate nursing interns: A quasi-experimental study

Abstract

We examined the effects of a designed structured empathy educational program of undergraduate nursing interns on their empathy competence. The results showed a positive influence on their empathy competence, which fills the gaps in this field and provides a validated paradigm for empathy training in other nursing schools.
