The purpose of this study is to explore how nurses unfold the experience of empathy during the process of nursing care. The investigator acted as a facilitator, who participated in and observed the group psychotherapy in the acute psychiatric wards of two hospitals. The investigator analyzed the transcripts of the group psychotherapy with the perspective of phenomenology. The findings show that there are two forms in entering the process of empathy from the position of being a nurse: 1. Returning to face here and now from different time frames. 2. Approaching the patients' world based on nurse's personal experiences. In nursing practice, the nurse can purify the body from the space and distance created in the group. Meanwhile, through the dialogue and communication between the inner and outer world, the nurse can further recognize the content of the covered-up self and the differences between self and others. The experiences of body can become the medium of entering the inner worlds of others, thus, empathy can arise from turning to where and when the patients stand through the nurse's self-adjustment. The meaning of nursing care can be derived from the humanitarian concern that empathy illuminates. |
