Empathy and Emotion Management in Nurses

Dear Colleagues,

There has been a recent trend toward analyzing improvement in healthcare. A growing interest has been observed in several different disciplines in studying emotion management in healthcare personnel, especially nurses, who act directly on health in most interactions with patients and family members.
From a person-centered approach, with the final objective of improving care quality and the wellbeing of the professionals who provide it, it becomes necessary to develop strategies for action based on empirical research for designing interventions.
The analysis of emotion management and empathy in nurses will enable us to update our knowledge and make progress in understanding processes inherent to quality healthcare, especially in changing health settings. In the end, it is the development of personal habits, resources, and strategies that will make the difference in patient treatment.
For this Special Issue, articles on original high-quality research or reviews/meta-analyses contributing firm discoveries that widen the current knowledge on this subject will be welcome.
