The ”IENE 4” project aims to improve the quality of training for nurses and health care professionals to deliver compassionate and cultural competent care, which responds to the healthcare sector needs.


The project is focused on the following specific target groups:

  • nurses and other health professionals;

  • healthcare leaders: senior nurses and other health professionals, teachers and ward managers.


The specific objectives of the project are:

  • To construct, pilot and implement a self assessment tool, “compassion measuring tool” (CMT);

  • To design new training and work based learning model, for the development of compassion skills of nurses and health care professionals;

  • To develop an intervention which will promote the learning, practice and support of compassion-in-practice;

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on service providers and users;

  • To establish a network of people working on ‘compassion’ projects for knowledge share and co-creation of knowledge.
