Data were collected between May and August 2018, through interviews with 11 nurses experienced in neonatal care, and analyzed through the lens of Alfred Schutz's Social Phenomenology. Results: Presented by two categories: nurses' empathy with family members of newborns in Neonatal ICU: empathic conduct; and, the reasons why the empathic conduct of nurses with family members in neonatal ICU.
