Abstract :

Empathy and sympathy are essential components of effective healthcare delivery, particularly in the challenging and dynamic field of paramedic practice. This systematic review explores the impact of these emotional competencies on patient care outcomes and the professional development of paramedics. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed literature was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL, focusing on studies published between 2013 and 2023. The findings highlight the significant role of empathy and sympathy in fostering trust, improving patient satisfaction, and enhancing adherence to care plans. Additionally, these traits contribute to paramedics’ communication and decision-making skills while supporting their professional growth. However, systemic challenges such as time constraints and emotional fatigue often hinder their application in practice. The review underscores the need for targeted training programs and organizational support to cultivate these competencies. Addressing these gaps can enhance the overall quality of care and promote the well-being of both patients and paramedics.
Keywords: Empathy, Sympathy, Paramedics, Patient Care, Professional Development, Emotional Competencies, Healthcare Delivery, Emergency Medical Services, Burnout, Training Programs.
