Empathy can improve the quality of working life, because it is a powerful component in multiprofessional teamwork. This is one reason why the benefits of empathy need to be recognized more carefully during social studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Empathy is too often taken for granted\u00a0 during studies (Grant, Kinman, & Alexander 2014). This is just one reason why the benefits of empathy need to be recognized and explored more carefully there is some evidence that empathy can improve the quality of working life (State of Workplace Empathy). Studies have shown (Bohns & Flynn 2021), that highly empathic individuals are more attuned to others’ needs. In other words, \u201cmore empathic help-seekers may hold higher expectations that they would receive help if they were to ask for it relative to less empathic help-seekers\u201d<\/em>. This is an important point to remember, when we consider social workers as helping professionals.<\/p>\n

There is also research which shows that empathy does not work as a good basis for moral decisions (Bloom 2016) \u00a0which means we do not need to be single-minded when considering empathy. However, empathy is a powerful component in multiprofessional teamwork, because by understanding other professionals’ frameworks (which are different from your own) and empathizing with them, the whole team is able to be more collaborative in practice (Adamson, Loomis, and Cadell & Verweel 2018). Although the basics of empathy are learned during childhood[1]<\/sup> and\u00a0 youth[2]<\/sup>opportunities still arise for further development of these skills during adolescence (prosocial behaviors), as well as during working life in the professional context.<\/p>\n

Qualified Empathy requires practical steps<\/h2>\n

Qualified Empathy is more than just<\/em> empathy. According our study[3]<\/sup> (Raatikainen, Rauhala & M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4 2021), students pointed out that they felt that the QE theoretical framework was beneficial and the concept of \u201caccurate or qualified\u201d empathy, was \u2018easier\u2019 to internalize as a tool for action. It helped them to create some distance from the \u201cpersonal part of the empathy\u201d.<\/p>\n

We designed the \u2018Qualified Empathy\u2019 approach to support students in gaining the skills needed for the professional context. The QE approach is a professional approach, which works to prevent professionals\u2019 risk for burnout, to support awareness of the risk of developing inappropriately intense empathy in client relationships and to explore the meaning of empathy from a wider perspective. According to our definition of QE (Raatikainen, Rauhala & M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4, 2017; Raatikainen, Rauhala & M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4, 2021[4]<\/sup>), this broader viewpoint can be described as:<\/p>\n

\u201cQualified Empathy requires compassion for empathic action and it includes the ability for professional self-reflection, emotional skills and a healthy set of boundaries. Qualified Empathy encompasses the ability to tell the difference between sympathy and empathy, as it includes the capacity to use compassion to act in an empathic way in professional contexts (Raatikainen, Rauhala & M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4, 2017). Additionally, the QE professional is someone who has empathic skills and compassion towards themselves, colleagues, clients and the environment. Qualified Empathy is more of a mindset or work orientation that is rooted in ethical thinking. An empathic social worker is able to be a mirror to others and adjusts his or her interactions without immersing into the other\u2019s emotional world or context (Raatikainen, Rauhala & M\u00e4enp\u00e4\u00e4 2021).<\/em><\/p>\n

The results of the study[5]<\/sup> demonstrate the progress areas of the students\u2019 developing Qualified Empathy skills. The development stages in the three progress areas are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. From emotional reaction to emotional response<\/li>\n
  2. From understanding to empathic acting<\/li>\n
  3. From a client perspective to a more systematic approach.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reflective professionals<\/h2>\n

    Adopting a more reflective approach QE becomes more professional in nature. As part of QE, the emotional reaction includes the emotional response, from understanding to empathic acting (even just a smile), and from \u2018client perspective\u2019 to a more systematic approach, which sees and meets the world around us. Qualified empathy is a wider, more systematic approach<\/em> towards our world and the opportunities for empathy which exist in it. As educators, we need to be more active in supporting future professionals in gaining the skills needed for their work in supporting clients living with demanding life situations, life conditions as well as wider more complex issues existing in our world today. Empathy needs action as well as boundaries. Understanding<\/em> alone is not enough, and our emotional responses<\/em> need to contribute to the sense that we, and our experiences, are each valuable to one another.<\/p>\n

    Future Trends<\/h2>\n

    Currently, there is an ongoing discussion surrounding the place of AI in the social services sector. A recent article by Rosso (2021) in Psychology Today, \u2018Can AI Machine Learning Enable Robot Empathy?<\/em>\u2019 discusses new research from the US. This is cutting edge research which is still out of reach in practice. Until we are able to determine if this type of AI is feasible in, we will continue to need empathic humans working as social and healthcare professionals who are equipped with Qualified Empathy skills.<\/p>\n

    As we ride the waves of the developing technology while navigating the\u00a0Fourth Industrial Revolution<\/em>, the World Economic Forum (WEF, 2018) point out that the will need soft skills as much as it will need technological expertise for the journey. In line with this Vossen and Valkenburg\u2019s (2016) study found that social media use related to an increase in adolescents\u2019 cognitive and affective empathy over time. Specifically, adolescents\u2019 social media use improved informants\u2019’ ability to understand (cognitive empathy) and share the feelings with peers (affective empathy). Empathy needs to be practiced by professionals as well as individuals in order to achieve a more harmonious and coherent future for us all.<\/p>\n

    [1] Empathy skills are generally learned in early childhood. One such programme focusing on this age group in a school setting is KiVa Koulu, which has reported positive effects on students\u2019 affective empathy during the school years. According to Garandeau, Laninga-Wijnen & Salmivalli (2021), there is evidence that the effects of the KiVa programme did not depend on students\u2019 popularity, bullying or gender or on the school type or classroom bullying norms.<\/em><\/sub><\/p>\n

    [2] \u201cFor boys, levels of prosocial behavior were stable until age 14, followed by an increase until age 17, and a slight decrease thereafter. For girls, prosocial behavior increased until age 16 years and then slightly decreased\u201d (Van der Graaff, J., Carlo, G., Crocetti, E. et al. Prosocial Behavior in Adolescence: Gender Differences in Development and Links with Empathy. J Youth Adolescence 47, 1086\u20131099 (2018). https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s10964-017-0786-1).<\/a><\/em><\/sub><\/p>\n

    [3] The study was a case study, designed to explore the students\u2019 experiences of their one semester-long educational intervention (EI) (n=20). The research question was \u201cHow did the students construct \u2018Qualified Empathy (QE)\u2019 as a dimension of their own professional expertise?\u201d In our case, we followed a first year student group\u2019s (n=20) development process in terms of empathy skills during the spring of 2018. The students were 18\u201330 years old. We collected data by using open questionnaires, learning diaries and written documentation related to the final internship (see table 1.). The intervention had four phases. In pre-assignment (1), students filled out open questionnaires prior to the Individual and Community Counselling (ICC) course<\/em><\/sub><\/p>\n
