Description
Bayan Alilyyani and coauthors model in 2026 how empathy and moral sensitivity relate to nursing students' sense of readiness for practice. Both traits support ethical awareness and patient-centered care during training. Feeling prepared matters because it shapes how new nurses handle complex clinical encounters.
Survey data from 402 undergraduates at a Saudi Arabian nursing college fed a path analysis of the three measures. Empathy and moral sensitivity each predicted felt preparedness, and together they explained a large share of its variation. The authors argue that ethics and empathy training deserve a firm place in undergraduate curricula, not a peripheral one.
