“…Aunque pareciera no haber fundamento para decir si la empatía es una dimensión de la personalidad, una emoción experimentada o una habilidad observable, sí se sabe que involucra la habilidad de comunicar la comprensión del mundo del paciente. Por estas razones se sigue estudiando y, a pesar de que existe amplia información en la literatura que investiga la empatía, se considera a esta como un constructo clave como facilitador importante en las relaciones paciente-profesional del área salud (55)(56)(57), entre otros muchos complejos procesos involucrados en ella.…”

Objetivo: estimar la orientación empática y el comportamiento de la estructura del constructo empatía en los estudiantes de enfermería de la Universidad Mayor, sede Temuco (Chile). Materiales y métodos: se aplicó la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson en la versión en español para estudiantes, validada culturalmente mediante criterio de jueces. Se estimó confiabilidad interna mediante la prueba alfa de Cronbach y aditividad de Tukey. Las medias de las sumatorias de los datos de los sujetos fueron comparadas mediante Anova bifactorial y prueba de Duncan. Se emplearon las pruebas de adecuación muestral. Los componentes fueron estimados por medio de una prueba factorial de componentes principales con rotación varimax. Resultados: la escala mostró confiabilidad. Existen diferencias de orientación empática entre los cursos, pero no en el género; se observaron seis componentes. Conclusiones: los estudiantes de enfermería se caracterizan por tener niveles de empatía relativamente altos, los cuales no difieren entre los géneros y existe una tendencia a su aumento a medida que los cursos avanzan.

“…However, in order to make a better and fairer world, students need to have the ability to understand other people's feelings and inner experiences, as well as to observe actions and choices from various perspectives (Lim, Moriarty, & Huthwaite, 2011;Volk, 2012). In other words, they need empathy.…”

“…In fact, empathy is a skill that may be taught through interventions such as communication skills workshops, drama techniques, narratives, storytelling, vignettes and creation of avatars (Gair, 2012(Gair, , 2013Lim et al, 2011;Volk, 2012;Webster, 2010). Based on the above, we decided to develop a critical pedagogy of empathy, as a strategy towards emancipation and social justice.…”

Based on the results of a large-scale study regarding the role of secondary education teachers, we tried to develop an emancipatory teaching programme within the framework of a critical pedagogy of empathy. This teaching strategy is a three-stage process, during which a constant teacher-student interaction, attentive listening and interchange of roles are emphasised, so as to foster empathy. The first stage includes understanding the students' perspectives and giving value to their experiences. When the channels of communication are open and teachers get into their students' shoes, material relevant to the students' experiences is presented at the second stage, while students are encouraged to question the prevailing status quo and to raise their voices in institutional contexts in which they have traditionally been silenced. Finally, during the third stage, students disseminate self-gained knowledge and thoughts with a view to creating a better future and a different society, as part of the broader mission of informed, democratic, critical, empathetic and active citizens.

“…Many of the studies about empathy show that empathy declines during medical school (Hojat et al, 2004;Stepien & Baernstein 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Newton et al,2008;Fernandez Olano et al, 2008;Lim et al, 2011;Neumann et al, 2011;Van Winkle et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2012;Shariat & Habibi 2013). Unsuitable learning environments, cynicism/loss of idealism (Hojat et al, 2004;Newton et al, 2008), distress (Neumann et al, 2011), hidden curriculum (Eikeland et al, 2014), negative role-models, a high volume of materials to learn, time pressure, patient factors and overreliance on computer-based diagnostic and therapeutic technology can affect the students and cause a decline in empathy.…”

Empathy is an important attribute in the physician-patient relationship and promotes patient and physician satisfaction. It must be taught and promoted during medical education. However, many of the studies about empathy show that empathy declines during medical school education as the year of study increases. The aim of this study was to measure and examine the levels of student empathy during medical education at Ankara University School of Medicine. Study participants were all medical students from the first to the fifth year of the program and the 'Student Version (S-Version) of Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy' ( JSPE-S) was used to measure the level of student empathy. The study utilized a cross-sectional design and sub-scale scores were analyzed in terms of gender and year of study. MannWhitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis were used to compare the sub-scale scores in terms of gender and year, respectively. The results showed that the second year students` JSPE-S scores were significantly high for "perspective taking" and "compassionate care" whereas the third year students` JSPE-S scores were significantly low for the three sub-scales (p<0.001). Additionally, the scores of internship time decreased gradually as the year of study increased. Females' JSPE-S scores were significantly higher for "perspective taking" and "compassionate care" (p<0.001). In this study, the students' empathy levels were examined with a self-report scale. The results indicated that medical student empathy declines as the year of study gets higher. More studies are needed to determine whether the decline in empathy scores are due to cohort effects or to the changes occurring during medical education. Keywords: Empathy, Undergraduate Medical Education, Medical Students, Communication Skills. ÖzEmpati, hasta-hekim ilişkisinde önemli bir beceri olup hasta ve hekim memnuniyetini arttırır. Empati, tıp eğitimi sürecinde öğretilmeli ve geliştirilmelidir, fakat yapılan birçok çalışmada sınıf düzeyi arttıkça düştüğü gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde tıp eğitimi boyunca öğrenci empati düzeylerinin ölçülmesi ve değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmaya 1. sınıftan 5. sınıfa kadar tüm sınıflardaki tıp öğrencileri katılmıştır ve öğrenci empati düzeyini ölçmek için 'Jefferson Doktor Empati Ölçeği'nin öğrenci versiyonu kullanılmıştır. Kesitsel olarak planlanmış olan bu çalışmada alt-ölçek puanları eğitim yıllarına ve cinsiyete göre karşılaştırılmıştır. Cinsiyete göre farklılıklar Mann-Whitney U testi ile, eğitim yıllarına göre farklılıklar da Kruskal-Wallis varyans analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Elde İpek GÖNÜLLÜ ())
