Empathy from the Perspective of Oncology Medical Caregivers

Abstract

Abstract Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of the others and understand their feelings and experiences. The ability to comprehend, share, and react to another person's thoughts, feelings, and experiences is known as empathy. It has both an emotional and a cognitive component. Cancer comes with uncertainty and Negative perspective towards life in Oncology there are plenty of patients who are there for months and years how there recovery affects on the Empathy of caregivers like Nurses. This study shows that patient’s reaction and recovery is not directly co-related to Empathy of caregivers. This cross sectional survey study examined that whether oncology caregiver’s empathy level – measured by Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JES) and the Interpersonal reactive index (IRI) – were associated with patients recovery and relationship between the caregivers and the patient. Oncology healthcare professions in Hospital completed an online questionnaire including Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JES) and the Interpersonal reactive index (IRI) (N = 50). Data says that there is no direct corelation between the patient’s recovery and empathy (p> .05) indicating that the higher the recover better the empathy in our sample. Or it’s not related to any behaviour of the patient. Other factors may limit or moderate its effect on objective recovery outcomes. We contextualize our findings within the literature on empathy in oncology care and discuss potential explanations for this null finding, such as the intricacy of recovery processes and measurement challenges.
