Blog Article

Aims and objectivesThis Garden Ornamnent systematic review aims to: (1) explore which tools have been used in Spanish to measure compassion; (2) know which of these tools could be used to assess compassion in healthcare settings from the perspective of patients; (3) evaluate the quality of these patient-reported measures in Spanish contexts; and (4) determine which of these instruments would be best suited to be used in healthcare settings.BackgroundCompassion has been recognized as a fundamental dimension of quality healthcare.MethodsSeveral scientific databases were consulted for relevant records published up to December 16th, 2021.In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, 64 studies ADULT CHEWABLE- CRANB / RASP were included.Results and conclusionswhile existing instruments, validated in Spanish, allow for the measurement of self-compassion or compassion to others, there are no valid and reliable measures currently available in Spanish to measure patient-reported compassion.

Relevance to clinical practiceIn order to ensure and promote compassion in the health care context, it is essential to have a valid and reliable tool to measure this construct in a patient-informed way, and this is currently not possible in the Spanish-speaking context because of the lack of such an instrument in Spanish.
