1. Specialty area of Nursing Practice Highlighting Practice Changes Influencing Compassionate Nursing Care
    My speciality area of nursing is clinical nursing practices. In my field, I have witnessed significant amount of change in nursing practices, which influenced the nursing care when looked under the lens of compassionate care perspective. As suggested by Papastavrou, Dimitriadou, Tsangari and Andreou (2016), clinical nurse has many important roles to conduct. The leading role, which is part of clinical nurse is clinical practices, training, research, teaching, consulting and management. Clinical nurse needs to manage care movement as they advocate the patient in getting cost-effective treatment and utilization of resources for optimal health outcomes.

Care settings are very depressing for patients to live in it. Getting admitted to the hospital or seeking treatment for chronic disease in hospital make patients vulnerable emotionally. Compassionate care not only include relieving suffering of patient but enable them to retain their independency and dignity (Sinclair et al., 2016).

Using positive body language and voice shows compassion towards the patients. Thus, just by forming bond with patient while taking care of patient change normal nursing care into compassionate care.
