How do you walk a mile in a patient’s shoes?Can you learn how to empathize?Is TikTok killing clinical empathy?  Let’s talk about our feelings - or actually, our patients’ feelings. After an episode exploring the factors influencing nurse well-being (from Episode 2), Bre and Maija want to better understand how their patients are feeling. They look at the definitions and applications of clinical empathy through their experiences and external resources. What tools can healthcare providers use to assess and increase their ability to feel with patients? As they search for a tool to measure one's emotional intelligence, they find empathy to be a self regulated, personal experience. From an organizational standpoint, what are the benefits of having employees who practice clinical empathy? Finally, the ladies return to their discussion on social media in the nursing world as they weigh in on the current social media trends that portray healthcare professionals as anything but professional and definitely not empathetic.If you feel a certain way about our conversation and topic from this episode, give us a rating or a comment in Apple Podcasts!
