Socioemotional Development during Infancy

26
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Empathy is crucial for effective nursing care.
  • Resilience is a key trait for healthcare professionals facing demanding situations.
  • Understanding the relationship between resilience and empathy can inform training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the predictive relationship between resilience and empathy in nursing students.
  • To determine the specific impact of resilience dimensions on empathy dimensions within this student population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 340 nursing students from a private university in Colombia.
  • Utilized Jefferson's Empathy Scale (student version) and the Resilience-Trait Scale.
  • Employed Structural Equation Modeling after comprehensive psychometric evaluation of the scales.

Main Results:

  • Ecological Resilience negatively predicted 'Compassionate Care' (β = -0.11) and 'Walking in the patient's shoes' (β = -0.19).
  • Engineering Resilience positively predicted 'Walking in the patient's shoes' (β = 0.08).
  • Overall, resilience demonstrated a predictive effect on empathy.

Conclusions:

  • Resilience is a significant predictor of empathy in nursing students.
  • Empathy training for nursing students should incorporate resilience-building components.
  • Enhancing resilience may contribute to improved empathetic capabilities in future nurses.
