Article Abstract
Empathy is extolled in Western healthcare and medical education as an exemplary quality to cultivate in trainees and providers. Yet it remains an elusive and inadequately understood attribute. It posits a "one size fits all" unidimensional attribute applicable across contexts with scant attention given to its multifaceted dimensions in intercultural contexts. In this article, we uncloak the shortcomings of this conventional empathy in intercultural settings, and instead propound an expanded "relational empathy".

Background: Interventions aimed to increase healthcare provider empathy and capacity to deliver person-centered care have been shown to improve healthcare seeking and outcomes. In the context of self-injectable contraception, empathetic counseling and coaching may be promising approaches for addressing "fear of the needle" among clients interested in using subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA-SC). In Nigeria, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project developed and evaluated an empathy-based in-service training and supportive supervision intervention for public sector family (FP) planning providers implemented in conjunction with community-based mobilization.

Rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significantly impacted multiple sectors of our society, including healthcare. While conventional AI has been instrumental in solving mainly image recognition tasks and thereby adding in well-defined situations such as supporting diagnostic imaging, the emergence of generative AI is impacting on one of the main professional competences: doctor-patient interaction.A convergence of natural language processing (NLP) and generative AI is exemplified by intelligent chatbots like ChatGPT.

The susceptibility to emotional contagion has been psychometrically addressed by the self-reported Emotional Contagion Scale. With the present research, we validated a German adaptation of this scale and developed a mimicry brief version by selecting only the four items explicitly addressing the overt subprocess of mimicry. Across three studies (N1 = 195, N2 = 442, N3 = 180), involving various external measures of empathy, general personality domains, emotion recognition, and other constructs, the total German Emotional Contagion Scale demonstrated sound convergent and discriminant validity.

Background: The nurse-patient relationship is central to quality nursing care, yet its impact remains difficult to quantify. While existing models assess caring competencies from the perspective of nursing students and professionals, there is a lack of validated instruments incorporating direct patient feedback.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate the Nursing Interaction in Caring_Competence Assessment-Patient (NIC_CA-Patient) tool, a patient-centred instrument designed to measure caring interaction in nursing practice and establish a predictive model of its development from the patient's perspective.
