Frågesällningarna var ifall personal blir utmattade i högre grad vid hög empati och om distansering har att göra med hur länge man har arbetat inom sitt yrke. En kvantitativ studie med 109 mentalskötare och undersköterskor påvisade signifikanta skillnader inom yrkena på empati, utmattning och distans. Undersköterskor uppvisade en högre empati än mentalskötare.

Bakgrund. På akutmottagningen är flödet av patienter stort och möten mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter är korta och tidspressade. Det primära för patienter på en akutmottagning är att sjuksköterskan vet vad som ska göras. Omvårdnad kan delas upp i två kategorier: instrumentell omvårdnad och emotionell omvårdnad. För att agera med omvårdnad, måste sjuksköterskan dels ha ett omhändertagande med teknisk kompetens och samtidigt stödja patientens emotionella behov.
