The study was designed to establish and evaluate the impact of a 6-week Balint group on empathy and resilience in fourth-year medical students during their psychiatry rotation.
This prospective study used the Jefferson Scale of Empathy - Student Version and the Brief Resilience Scale before and after 6-week Balint groups. Participating students also completed a qualitative assessment of their experience.
Students who participated were enthusiastic regarding the value of Balint groups in promoting self-reflection and gaining insight into self- and patient-care dynamics. There was a significant difference in empathy scores pre- and post-Balint intervention. There was no significant difference in resilience scores.
The establishment of a 6-week Balint group for fourth-year medical students was successful in increasing empathy. Students reported a positive view of Balint and its beneficial role in this study group.
本研究旨在建立并评估为期 6 周的巴林特小组对精神科轮转的四年级医学生同理心和韧性的影响。
本前瞻性研究在 6 周巴林特小组前后使用了杰斐逊同理心量表-学生版和简要韧性量表。参与的学生还对他们的体验进行了定性评估。
参与的学生对巴林特小组在促进自我反思和深入了解自我和患者护理动态方面的价值表示热情。在巴林特干预前后，同理心得分有显著差异。韧性得分没有显著差异。
为四年级医学生建立为期 6 周的巴林特小组成功地提高了同理心。学生们对巴林特小组持积极看法，并认为其在本研究小组中发挥了有益作用。
