Effects of empathy mapping and mini-simulation on second-year nursing students' empathy and communication self-confidence: a quasi-experimental study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Empathy and communication are critical abilities for nursing students, and in recent years, scenario-based teaching has played a crucial role in fostering empathy and professional skill development.
