    Psychiatric nurses demonstrate significantly higher patient empathy than non-psychiatric nurses. Demographic factors like age or experience did not influence empathy levels in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Psychology
    • Healthcare

    Background:

    • Empathy is crucial for effective patient care.
    • Previous research on factors influencing nurse empathy yielded mixed results.
    • Understanding the impact of work setting on empathy is important for professional development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the empathic abilities of registered nurses in psychiatric versus non-psychiatric settings.
    • To investigate the relationship between demographic variables and nurse empathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-seven registered nurses from psychiatric and non-psychiatric settings participated.
    • Participants' empathic abilities were measured.
    • Data were analyzed to identify significant differences and correlations.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses in psychiatric settings showed significantly higher empathy than those in non-psychiatric settings (p < .05).
    • Age, sex, marital status, education, and experience were not significantly related to empathy.
    • Work setting was the only significant variable influencing empathy levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The psychiatric setting appears to foster greater empathic ability in nurses.
    • Demographic factors do not significantly predict empathy levels in nurses.
    • Future research could explore specific aspects of the psychiatric environment that enhance empathy.
