Abstract
Compassion is central to mental health nursing, deeply embedded in the ethos of care and principles of recovery. However, at a time of increasing clinical demands and workforce shortages, the expression of compassion in nursing may be constrained. How can nurses ensure that compassion remains central to their practice, even in challenging circumstances? In this editorial, we consider the vital role of compassion in nursing, highlighting its impact on patient outcomes, its role in fostering therapeutic relationships through effective communication, and its contribution to professional resilience.
