“…Results from studies on the effect of parents' education level on empathy in medical students are inconsistent. While some studies have found no significant relationship [30,31], one study revealed that the mother's education status affected medical students' levels of empathy [32]. Conversely, we found the father's education status to be associated with levels of empathy; students whose fathers' education was high school or below were higher in empathy than those students whose fathers had attained a more advanced education.…”

Background: The aims of this study were to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for medical students (JSE-S) and investigate differences in empathy scores among Chinese medical students according to gender, student cadre or not, future career preference, and parents' education. Methods: Medical students from three universities completed an online questionnaire containing the JSE-S. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure, and group comparisons of empathy scores were examined via t-tests and analysis of variance. Results: Four factors emerged from the factor analysis: "perspective taking," "compassionate care," "standing in the patient's shoes," and an uninterpretable factor. The results indicated that students who were female, held positions as student cadres, preferred to become a doctor, and whose fathers had a high school education or below tended to have more empathy. Conclusions:Overall, the findings provide information on the dimensions of empathy applicable to Chinese medical students and confirm the factors found in the original measure. The dimensions have implications for developing empathy among medical students throughout the world. Educators can use the information to design interventions to foster empathy among students in the context of medical education reform in many countries, including China.

“…Fantasy reflects a tendency to identify with characters in fictional situations (movies, books) and help others; therefore, it may be associated with emotionality (Davis, 1980;Davis, 1983). Previous studies have shown a positive association between empathy and happiness among students; scores on perspective-taking and compassionate care were significantly positively related to happiness scores (Ozcakir et al, 2016). Empathy is also related to good communication skills and optimism (Hojat et al, 2015).…”

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between aggression, empathy, and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main aim was to analyse the contribution of empathy components (empathic concern, personal distress, perspective-taking, and fantasy) above reactive and proactive aggression in predicting life satisfaction.. The Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Single Item on Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS), and Single Item on Overall Happiness (OH) measures were applied to 418 students in private higher education (232 male, 186 female). The participants’ age ranged from 18 to 34, with a mean age of 21 years (SD = 3.18). Results showed that reactive aggression negatively predicted satisfaction with life and overall happiness, while proactive aggression did not significantly predict indicators of life satisfaction. Empathic concern showed a significant positive effect on satisfaction with life, while personal distress showed a significant adverse effect on all indicators of life satisfaction. Aggression and empathy together accounted for 14% of the variance in the satisfaction with life and 5% of the variance in overall life satisfaction and overall happiness. Empathy added incremental variance in explaining life satisfaction after controlling for aggression. The results highlight the importance of reactive aggression and emotional empathy in the explanation of life satisfaction.

“…Para conocer los niveles de empatía se aplicó la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson (EEMJ) para profesiones de la salud versión estudiantes, validada en México y adaptada a Colombia a través del criterio de jueces, aunque su aplicación inicialmente fue en estudiantes de medicina, después se desarrolló una nueva versión ampliada a las diferentes profesiones de la salud la cual tiene leves modificaciones desde la versión original 34,35,[40][41][42][43][44] . La EEMJ para las profesiones de la salud versión estudiantes consta de 20 ítems tipo Likert en una escala de 1 a 7, donde 1 es totalmente en desacuerdo y 7 es totalmente de acuerdo; pero para evitar respuestas automáticas, la mitad de los ítems son negativos y por consiguiente la respuesta es invertida.…”

“…Para los análisis estadísticos la EMMJ se dividió en los tres factores, donde toma de perspectiva tiene puntajes entre 10 y 70 y comprende los ítems 2,4,5,9,10,13,15,16,17 y 20; cuidado con compasión tiene puntajes entre 8 y 56 y comprende los ítems 1,7,8,11,12,14,18 y 19; y ponerse en el lugar del paciente tiene puntajes entre 2 y 14 y comprende los ítems 3 y 6 44 . Con los datos suministrados se hicieron los análisis estadísticos correspondientes para el tipo de información, sin embargo, como limitante se reconoce que al tratarse de una muestra no aleatoria sus resultados no pueden ser extrapolados 45 .…”

Para determinar el aumento de los niveles de empatía y percepción del riesgo del cambio climático en estudiantes universitarios de la salud se realizó un estudio cuasi-experimental. La intervención fue una estrategia educativa. Se seleccionaron por conveniencia dos grupos de estudiantes de ciencias de la salud. Los niveles de empatía se midieron con la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson versión estudiantes y de la Encuesta de percepción sobre riesgo al cambio climático como una amenaza para la salud humana se midieron dos ítems: índice de percepción de riesgo y conocimiento sobre los efectos en la salud por causa del cambio climático. Se encontraron diferencias entre pre y post-test (p < 0,05). En el pre-test ambos grupos presentaron niveles de empatía altos con un promedio de 107. Para el post-test, el grupo experimental, presentó un aumento estadísticamente significativo en los niveles de empatía. Se establecieron correlaciones significativas entre empatía global y factores de empatía: cuidado con compasión y toma de perspectiva; y correlación significativa entre el factor de empatía Cuidado con compasión y Conocimiento sobre los efectos en la salud por el cambio climático. Este trabajo evidenció como una estrategia educativa puede fomentar la empatía en estudiantes de la salud.
