How Nurses Enact Compassion in Pediatric Intensive Care

Compassion, at a basic level, means to suffer with another person. It involves both \"feeling with\" another person and taking action to alleviate that person's suffering. A great deal of theoretical work has been done on compassion, but, despite its prevalence in healthcare discourse, action-oriented practical research about compassion has been lacking. This research project sought to explore the question \"how do nurses enact compassion in pediatric intensive care?\" The question focused specifically on the context and perception of nurses in PICUs. Data were collected in seven interviews with PICU nurses. Four interviews were conducted on Zoom and three were conducted in person. Transcripts were made from audio recordings. Those transcripts along with the consent form and interview questions have been uploaded in both .txt and .pdf files. University of Alberta Ethics approval: Pro00117798 While these interview data are openly accessible, they are to be reused only for research purposes. If any component of that research requires ethics approval(s) then it is the responsibility of the researchers to ensure that appropriate ethics approval(s) are in place and kept in good standing throughout the course of the research.共情（Compassion）的基本内涵为与他人共感其苦痛，其既包含与他人共情的情感联结，也包含采取行动以缓解他人苦难的实践行为。学界已就共情开展了大量理论研究，但尽管共情在医疗话语中广为流传，针对共情的行动导向型实践研究仍较为匮乏。本研究旨在探究「护士如何在儿科重症监护室（Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, PICU）中践行共情」这一问题，且研究聚焦于PICU护士的工作场景与主观认知。本研究通过对7名PICU护士开展访谈收集数据：其中4次访谈通过Zoom平台进行，剩余3次为线下面对面访谈。研究人员对访谈音频进行了转录，转录文本、知情同意书及访谈提纲均已以.txt和.pdf两种格式上传。阿尔伯塔大学伦理审查批准号：Pro00117798。尽管本访谈数据可公开获取，但仅可用于科研用途。若二次研究的任一环节需要伦理审查，则二次研究人员需确保已获得相应的伦理批准，并在整个研究过程中维持该批准的有效性。
