The objective of this article is to examine whether the levels of empathy fit the concept of empathic decline.
This was a non-experimental and cross-sectional study. Two populations of nursing students in two nursing programs were studied: Universidad San Sebastián (Santiago, Chile) and Universidad Mayor (Temuco, Chile). The original data on empathy, assessed by the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, were combined into a single data base. They were then analyzed by means of normality tests and homoscedasticity, Cronbach's alpha, analysis of variance; the standard deviation of the dependent outcome measure (Sy.x) and the coefficient of determination (R2) were estimated.
The sample sizes from the two programs were 479 and 277, respectively. It was found that the distributions of the averages over the course of study for empathy (and its components) were constant, and in some cases increased.
It was found that the distribution of the means of empathy in the nursing students analyzed did not conform to the classical empathic decline observed in other studies. Therefore, it is inferred that the traditional factors identified as causes of empathic erosion were not operating in the same way in the studied context.
本文的目的是研究共情水平是否符合共情衰退的概念。
这是一项非实验性横断面研究。对两个护理专业项目中的两组护理学生进行了研究：圣塞瓦斯蒂安大学（智利圣地亚哥）和马约尔大学（智利特木科）。通过杰斐逊共情量表评估的共情原始数据被整合到一个单一数据库中。然后通过正态性检验和同方差性、克朗巴哈系数、方差分析进行分析；估计了因变量结果测量的标准差（Sy.x）和决定系数（R2）。
两个项目的样本量分别为479和277。研究发现，在学习过程中，共情（及其组成部分）的平均值分布是恒定的，在某些情况下还会增加。
研究发现，所分析的护理学生中，共情均值的分布不符合其他研究中观察到的经典共情衰退情况。因此，可以推断，被确定为共情侵蚀原因的传统因素在所研究的背景下并非以相同方式起作用。
