“…Arguably, the reason for increasing level of empathy with increasing age may be related to growing life experience [56]. It was contrary to Trevizan and colleagues' study [57], who did not find any effect of age on the level of Brazilian nurses' empathy. In parallel to our finding, the results of a cross-sectional study in different health professions in two Australian universities showed that 26-30 years old and 31-35 years old students had higher empathy scores by the JSE than their younger classmates [32].…”

Background: Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the place of others and understand their feelings and experiences. Empathy with cancer patients is essential in all disease stages. The purpose of our study was to determine the level and type of empathy in a sample of Iranian oncology nurses and to investigate the relationship between nurses' empathy and their demographic characteristics. Methods: This is a descriptive study with cross-sectional design, which was carried out by a convenience sample of oncology nurses (n = 181). They answered the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Nursing Student version R (JSE-NS version R), and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Independent t-test and ANOVA were used to determine the difference of empathy based on various demographic variables. The relationship between empathy and significant demographic variables were evaluated by multiple linear regression (MLR) analyses. Results: The mean age of the oncology nurses was 34.9 ± 6.7 years. The mean score of empathy was 106 ± 16.5 (range of 20-140) using the JSE-NS version R. Based on the IRI subscales, the mean score of empathic concern (20.5 ± 5.8) was higher in comparison with the subscales of perspective-taking (14.6 ± 3.5), fantasy (11.0 ± 5.5), and personal distress (14.0 ± 4.5). MLR models showed that the variables of age (β = 0.22, p ≤ 0.005), marital status (β = 0. 21, p ≤ 0.006), and having children, (β = 0.19, p ≤ 0.012) predicted 22% of changes in the nurses' empathy, respectively. Discussion: This study showed that empathy is more emotional than cognitive in this sample of oncology nurses. As a cognitive response is more dependent on subjective judgments, there is a possibility to increase the level of this kind of empathy. Conclusions: Empowering oncology nurses is necessary in the field of cognitive empathy, by periodic measurements, and in-service training programs with focus on nurses' experiences.

Background: A review of previous studies on nursing students’ empathy showed contradictory results with reducing or increasing empathy in nursing students and other students in the healthcare field during academic years of education at the university. Methods: The descriptive study with comparative design was conducted to determine the level of empathy and its changes in 122 undergraduate nursing students from the first to the fourth year of study. The data were collected using Jefferson Scale ofPhysician Empathy Nursing Student Version-R (JSE- NS version R) . Data were analyzed with descriptive and analytical tests by SPSS version 20. Results: Results showed that the mean score of empathy in all nursing students was 91.8 ± 28.7 (range: 20-140). Changes of empathy across the academic education years indicated that it was significantly declined in the fourth year of education, compared to the first year (p<0.001). The mean score of empathy in more than 76% of nursing students in the fourth academic education year was set at less than 50 th percentile. Conclusions: Based on this significant reduction, it is recommended that the reasons are explored by qualitative studies. Also, empathy is introduced to the nursing students, as one of the standards of clinical competency using strategies, such as education for empathic communication with the patient in training programs, and in the core courses of the nursing profession.
