Abstrakt: Background: Empathy is a critical component of the nurse-patient relationship. Simulation is a pedagogy that is used more frequently in nursing education and can be a tool to enhance empathy levels of students. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify educational strategies to foster empathy utilizing nursing simulation pedagogy. Methodology: An interpretive phenomenological design was used to identify educational strategies to foster empathy utilizing simulation pedagogy. Nursing simulation faculty from colleges or universities with both baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs on the East Coast of the United States were recruited to participate in this study (n=14). Data were collected through semistructured interviews and analyzed. Results: Strategies identified included utilizing standardized patients, engaging students in the patient's perspective, role modeling, and the scaffolding of empathy. Conclusion: The results suggest that there are multiple educational strategies that can used by nursing simulation faculty to foster empathy using simulation pedagogy. Nurse educators can use the findings of this study to implement educational strategies that foster empathy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
