About this trial
Compassion is an important concept underlying relationships between people. Compassion is a complex, multifaceted psychological and social process. Professional values form the basis of nursing care. The concept of compassion is one of these professional values, as well as one of the essential components of care that facilitates nursing care. Compassion-based care provides patient-centered care with a holistic approach while increasing the quality of care. Despite this importance, many healthcare professionals remain inadequate regarding compassionate care. The idea that compassion is innate or learned in people causes various difficulties in teaching compassion. Compassionate care is an emotion that can be taught and developed with innovative interactive methods along with developing technology. Methods such as video-supported teaching and case analysis, which are widely used in nursing education, contribute to developing cognitive and affective skills such as interpretation, critical thinking, and problem-solving in nurses. In this context, it is aimed to implement compassionate care training, developed based on Watson's Human Caring Model, on nurses by enriching it with video-supported teaching and case analysis methods, and to evaluate the effect of this training on nurses' compassion levels and caring behaviors.

Compassion Competence Scale
"Compassion Competence Scale"; consists of 3 sub-dimensions: "Communication," which expresses understanding and compassion towards patients and their families; "Sensitivity," which expresses the ability to notice and respond to changes in patients' emotions through careful observation; and "Insight," which expresses the ability to clearly understand patients and comprehensively meet their needs and conditions based on professional knowledge. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale with 11 items. The scale is interpreted by calculating the mean scores of the items. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 5, and the lowest score is 1. As the score increases, the level of compassion competence increases.
