Empathic skill levels in allied health professionals are associated with both patient satisfaction and compliance. These skills have been related to clinicians' educational backgrounds. The primary purpose of this study was to compare the empathic skill levels of health care students having different educational preparation but a similar practice orientation. The secondary purpose was to examine these students' self-perceptions of their own empathic skill levels. The subjects were physician assistant and medical students. Reliability was increased by using four different published instruments to obtain multiple measures on both subject self-ratings and an observer ratings of the subjects. Medical students rated themselves significantly lower (p less than 0.001) than the observers on one instrument, and physician assistant students rated themselves the same as the observers. The scores on observer-rated instruments were consistently higher for physician assistant students than for medical students, but these differences were not statistically significant.
专职医疗人员的共情技能水平与患者满意度和依从性都相关。这些技能与临床医生的教育背景有关。本研究的主要目的是比较具有不同教育背景但实践方向相似的医护专业学生的共情技能水平。次要目的是考察这些学生对自身共情技能水平的自我认知。研究对象为医师助理专业和医学专业的学生。通过使用四种不同的已发表工具来获取研究对象的自我评分和观察者评分的多项测量结果，从而提高了可靠性。在一种工具上，医学生给自己的评分显著低于观察者（p小于0.001），而医师助理专业的学生给自己的评分与观察者相同。在观察者评分的工具上，医师助理专业学生的分数始终高于医学生，但这些差异无统计学意义。
