Reviewed existing studies on compassion in healthcare since the original scoping review.
Analyzed the types of interventions and their efficacy regarding patient care.
Identified an increase in studies incorporating patient perspectives.
Noted a lack of effective and evidence-based interventions or training programs aimed at improving compassion.

More efficacious and evidence-based interventions or training programs tailored towards improving compassion for patients in healthcare is required.
