          Abstract

          Resumen Justificación: En Bogotá confluyen poblaciones culturalmente diversas, por lo cual la compasión y la competencia cultural resultan desafiantes para reconocer el sufrimiento, comprenderlo y aliviarlo mediante intervenciones culturalmente apropiadas y aceptables. Objetivo principal: Describir las experiencias de equipos de enfermería de dos hospitales de Bogotá sobre la compasión y el cuidado a personas culturalmente diversas. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo descriptivo, participaron 28 auxiliares y profesionales de enfermería de dos hospitales de Bogotá; se desarrollaron entrevistas semiestructuradas grabadas en audio y analizadas temáticamente. Resultados principales: Emergieron dos temas: (1) El cuidado culturalmente competente y compasivo se refleja en pequeños actos; (2) El cotidiano del cuidado y la superación de barreras. Conclusión principal: Las experiencias sobre compasión y competencia cultural son múltiples, se expresan a través de pequeños actos, que pueden resultar especialmente valiosos para los sujetos de cuidado. Sin embargo, el contexto impone barreras a ser enfrentadas para el cuidado a personas culturalmente diversas.

          Abstract Introduction: Culturally diverse populations converge in Bogotá, making compassion and cultural competence challenging to recognize suffering, understand it, and alleviate it through culturally appropriate and acceptable interventions. Objective: To describe the experiences of nursing teams from two hospitals in Bogotá regarding compassion and care for culturally diverse people. Methods: Qualitative descriptive study, 28 auxiliary and professional nurses from two hospitals in Bogotá participated; semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed thematically. Results: Two themes emerged: (1) Culturally competent and compassionate care is reflected in small acts; (2) The quotidian of care and overcoming barriers. Conclusions: Experiences of compassion and cultural competence are multiple, expressed through small acts, which can be especially valuable to care subjects. However, the context imposes barriers to be faced in caring for culturally diverse people.

          Compassion: an evolutionary analysis and empirical review.

          What is compassion? And how did it evolve? In this review, we integrate 3 evolutionary arguments that converge on the hypothesis that compassion evolved as a distinct affective experience whose primary function is to facilitate cooperation and protection of the weak and those who suffer. Our empirical review reveals compassion to have distinct appraisal processes attuned to undeserved suffering; distinct signaling behavior related to caregiving patterns of touch, posture, and vocalization; and a phenomenological experience and physiological response that orients the individual to social approach. This response profile of compassion differs from those of distress, sadness, and love, suggesting that compassion is indeed a distinct emotion. We conclude by considering how compassion shapes moral judgment and action, how it varies across different cultures, and how it may engage specific patterns of neural activation, as well as emerging directions of research.

            Compassion: a scoping review of the healthcare literature

            Background Recent concerns about suboptimal patient care and a lack of compassion have prompted policymakers to question the preparedness of clinicians for the challenging environment in which they practice. Compassionate care is expected by patients and is a professional obligation of clinicians; however, little is known about the state of research on clinical compassion. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the literature on compassion in clinical healthcare. Methods Searches of eight electronic databases and the grey literature were conducted to identify empirical studies published over the last 25 years. Eligible studies explored perceptions or interventions of compassionate care in clinical populations, healthcare professionals, and healthcare students. Following the title and abstract review, two reviewers independently screened full-texts articles, and extracted study data. A narrative approach to synthesizing and mapping the literature was used. Results and discussion Of 36,637 records, 648 studies were retrieved and 44 studies were included in the review. Less than one third of studies included patients. Six themes emerged from studies that explored perceptions of compassionate care: nature of compassion, development of compassion, interpersonal factors related to compassion, action and practical compassion, barriers and enablers of compassion, and outcomes of compassion. Intervention studies included two compassionate care trials with patients and eight educational programs that aimed to improve compassionate care in clinicians and students. Conclusions This review identifies the limited empirical understanding of compassion in healthcare, highlighting the lack of patient and family voices in compassion research. A deeper understanding of the key behaviors and attitudes that lead to improved patient-reported outcomes through compassionate care is necessary.

              Challenges and facilitators for health professionals providing primary healthcare for refugees and asylum seekers in high-income countries: a systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative research

              Objectives To thematically synthesise primary qualitative studies that explore challenges and facilitators for health professionals providing primary healthcare for refugees and asylum seekers in high-income countries. Design Systematic review and qualitative thematic synthesis. Methods Searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science. Search terms were combined for qualitative research, primary healthcare professionals, refugees and asylum seekers, and were supplemented by searches of reference lists and citations. Study selection was conducted by two researchers using prespecified selection criteria. Data extraction and quality assessment using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool was conducted by the first author. A thematic synthesis was undertaken to develop descriptive themes and analytical constructs. Results Twenty-six articles reporting on 21 studies and involving 357 participants were included. Eleven descriptive themes were interpreted, embedded within three analytical constructs: healthcare encounter (trusting relationship, communication, cultural understanding, health and social conditions, time); healthcare system (training and guidance, professional support, connecting with other services, organisation, resources and capacity); asylum and resettlement. Challenges and facilitators were described within these themes. Conclusions A range of challenges and facilitators have been identified for health professionals providing primary healthcare for refugees and asylum seekers that are experienced in the dimensions of the healthcare encounter, the healthcare system and wider asylum and resettlement situation. Comprehensive understanding of these challenges and facilitators is important to shape policy, improve the quality of services and provide more equitable health services for this vulnerable group.
