BACKGROUND
The literature indicates that medical practitioners experience declining empathy levels in clinical practice. This highlights the need to educate medical students about empathy as an attribute early in the academic curriculum. The objective of this study was to evaluate year one students' self-reported empathy levels following a 2-hour empathy workshop at a large medical school in Malaysia.
METHODS
Changes in empathy scores were examined using a paired repeated-measures t-test in this prospective before and after study.
RESULTS
Analyzing the matched data, there was a statistically significant difference and moderate effect size between mean empathy scores before and 5 weeks after the workshop (112.08±10.67 versus 117.93±13.13, P<0.0001, d=0.48) using the Jefferson Scale Physician Empathy (Student Version).
CONCLUSION
The results of this observational study indicate improved mean self-reported empathy scores following an empathy workshop.
背景
文献表明，执业医师在临床实践中的同理心水平呈下降趋势。这凸显了在医学课程早期就将同理心作为一种特质对医学生进行教育的必要性。本研究的目的是评估马来西亚一所大型医学院的一年级学生在参加为期两小时的同理心工作坊后的自我报告同理心水平。
方法
在这项前瞻性前后对照研究中，使用配对重复测量t检验来检查同理心得分的变化。
结果
使用杰斐逊医生同理心量表（学生版）分析配对数据，工作坊前和工作坊后5周的平均同理心得分之间存在统计学上的显著差异和中等效应量（112.08±10.67对117.93±13.13，P<0.0001，d=0.48）。
结论
这项观察性研究的结果表明，参加同理心工作坊后，自我报告的平均同理心得分有所提高。
