Sympathy vs empathy vs compassion
Compassion: Virtuous response that seeks to understand the needs and suffering of a person through relational understanding and action
Empathy: Trying to understand whats going on (cognitively) and then putting yourself in their shoes (emotionally)
Sympathy: Pity based response (to feel sorry for) with a lack of understanding (no action just emotional)
Compassion
Virtues
Presence
Intention
Embodied Presence: Many HCPs described an intentional practice where they adopted a self-effacing and curious attitude towards the patient and tried to orient themselves to the patient’s perspective.
Participants believed that compassion involved forethought and choice – perhaps underscoring the importance of mindfulness to practice.
Intention occurred through a process of SELF-REFLECTION (another criteria for professionalism)
