This study compared recently updated or newly published compassion measures and found that the Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire (SCQ) was the most comprehensive and methodologically rigorous measure for evaluating compassion in healthcare. It adhered to measure development guidelines, had higher scores than other measures, and provided empirical evidence for compassion evaluations.
Our previous review of compassion measures in healthcare between 1985 and 2016 concluded that no available measure assessed compassion in healthcare in a comprehensive or methodologically rigorous fashion. The present study provided a comparative review of the design and psychometric properties of recently updated or newly published compassion measures. The search strategy of our previous review was replicated. PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases and grey literature were searched to identify studies that reported information on instruments that measure compassion or compassionate care in clinicians, physicians, nurses, healthcare students, and patients. Textual qualitative descriptions of included studies were prepared. Instruments were evaluated using the Evaluating Measures of Patient-Reported Outcomes (EMPRO) tool. Measures that underwent additional testing since our last review included the Compassion Competence Scale (CCS), the Compassionate Care Assessment Tool (CCAT)(c), and the Schwartz Center Compassionate Care Scale (SCCCS)(TM). New compassion measures included the Sussex-Oxford Compassion for Others Scale (SOCS-O), a self-report measure of compassion for others; the Bolton Compassion Strengths Indicators (BSCI), a self-report measure of the characteristics (strengths) associated with a compassionate nurse; a five-item Tool to Measure Patient Assessment of Clinician Compassion (TMPACC); and the Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire (SCQ). The SCQ was the only measure that adhered to measure development guidelines, established initial construct validity by first defining the concept of interest, and included the patient perspective across all stages of development. The SCQ had the highest EMPRO overall score at 58.1, almost 9 points higher than any other compassion measure, and achieved perfect EMPRO subscale scores for internal consistency, reliability, validity, and respondent burden, which were up to 43 points higher than any other compassion measure. These findings establish the SCQ as the 'gold standard' compassion measure, providing an empirical basis for evaluations of compassion in routine care.
