Every man's private life greatly affects not only their emotional state, satisfaction, and mental stability but also their professional relationships. Nurses have different responsibilities and workload based on their education and job position, and their work approach must include empathy. Empathy can generally be defined as an ability to savour and understand other’s emotions and conditions. It is necessary to grasp the notion of empathy, which is a prerequisite for satisfying every man’s needs so that a patient’s thoughts and feelings could be understood. According to Jean Watson, in order to understand other people, it is essential to keep a balanced state of mind and nurse satisfaction which they bring to the workplace from their own private lives, and humanity in health care is vital for adequate human - care. Therapeutic communication is achievable through active listening, which is a requirement for expressing empathy. A nurse must be completely aware of their behaviour and nonverbal communication when entering into a conversation. The empathic approach is considered desirable in various circumstances and situations, dealing whether with patient’s positive or negative emotions and thoughts. Private problems can hinder any efforts at a professional approach, and the safest way to express empathy is to put all private problems and problems at work aside. The manner in which a nurse communicates and expresses empathy depends on their self - image. Their working environment and job organization can affect a nurse’s satisfaction and “shape” their behaviour according to the situation. Separating a private from a professional life is impossible because they are intertwined. A woman’s job and career greatly affect her entering into matrimony, planning parenthood and the questionable possibility of balancing both family and career life, especially when the great commitment of pursuing a career in nursing is taken into consideration.
