我们的新杂志，富有同情心的医疗保健杂志今天推出。在Q+A中，我们要求主持人Sue Shea和Christos Lionis向我们介绍更多有关该领域的信息以及他们希望通过该期刊实现的目标。

What is compassionate health care and how has it developed?

Compassionate health care is a rapidly growing field which has come to the forefront following concerns that despite the increasing scope and sophistication of health care, it sometimes fails at a fundamental level. Although there are many reported gaps in the humanity of health care, there is general agreement that care, compassion, and basic care delivery should form an important aspect of health care globally.

此外，有证据表明，同情，同情，同情，对基本需求和对尊严的关注等同情的组成部分对于缓解疼痛至关重要，促使急性疾病快速康复，有助于治疗慢性病。，减轻焦虑。

In order to understand compassion, what enhances it and what prevents it from taking place, it is important to look at a whole range of concepts within the health care setting. In 2011, we organized a successful symposium on the topic of compassion in health care at the University of Greenwich, UK, bringing together key people from various backgrounds with an interest in moving forward with the science and art of compassion.

From this symposium, it was clear that people are united in the importance of developing compassionate health care settings, through a multidisciplinary approach, and that the focus on research in this field is rapidly developing.

What are the challenges in this field of research?

Compassionate health care represents a challenge because it is a developing field and the concept is quite vast. For compassionate health care to succeed however, it is important to consider the health care setting as a whole, including organizational factors. As such, a focus on organisational issues, team work, and health care professional self care and understanding are also important factors to consider within this field of research.

在医疗保健环境中，每个参与人员都有重要的作用，包括行政人员，辅助人员以及在管理层面的人员。

您为什么认为拥有涵盖富有同情心的医疗保健的日记很重要？

At the present time, there is much work being conducted within the field of compassionate health care, but no central place for this work to be located. We consider that it’s important to have a journal specific to compassionate health care to enable contributions to be invited (at an international level) on all aspects related to the subject.

The journal aims to promote research, discussion and the sharing of experiences with the ultimate goal to improve clinical effectiveness and quality of health care. Contributions may take the form of editorials, reviews, and original research papers relating to: historical perspectives; underlying theoretical approaches; neurological/biological mechanisms thought to be in existence with regard to the provision and receipt of compassion; implementation and evidence-based provision of compassion; compassion fatigue and burnout; teaching and assessing compassion; development and evaluation of tools for measuring compassion; assessing the effectiveness of compassionate care interventions; organisational/managerial issues; and methods for sustaining compassion in the longer term.

What influenced your decision for the journal to be open access?

Our initial research showed that authors prefer an open access approach so that their work can be viewed by all with an interest in the field. Also, as the topic is of such importance, we wished for work in this area to reach as wide an audience as possible.

What are you hoping to achieve with the journal and how do you see it developing?

Our research indicates that a journal specific to the topic of compassionate care would be a very valuable addition to this rapidly expanding field. The journal adopts a multidisciplinary approach, presenting a linkage between medicine and social science, thus bringing together a number of concepts and approaches to the field of compassion, within one specific journal.

我们希望我们的读者将从这本期刊，作为共享研究的工具中获得很多收益，并作为学习工具或食物，可以在每天的练习中纳入。我们认为，在任何情况下，提供富有同情心的医疗保健的概念都很重要，从治疗小冷，发展姑息治疗和生命终结，以及照顾前线工作人员以及参与医疗保健环境中的其他人。

我们还预计该期刊是富有同情心的护理的当前和未来课程的有用教会，以及在护理，医学和盟友健康专业的本科生和研究生。
