To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Jefferson Medical Empathy Scale, Spanish version (JSE-S), its factorial structure, reliability, and the presence of invariance between genders in the behavior of empathy levels among Chilean nursing students.
Instrumental research design. The JSE-S was applied to 1,320 nursing students. A confirmatory factor analysis was used. An invariance study between genders was carried out. Descriptive statistics were estimated. Between genders, Student's T distribution was applied alongside a homoscedasticity analysis. The level of significance was α ≤ 0.05.
The confirmatory factor analysis determined the existence of three dimensions in the matrix. The statistical results of the invariance tests were significant, and allowed comparison between genders. Differences were found between mean empathy values, as well as in some of its dimensions between genders.
The factor structure of empathy data and its dimensions is in correspondence with the underlying three-dimensional model. There are differences in empathy levels and their dimensions between genders, with the exception of the compassionate care dimension, which was distributed similarly. Women were more empathetic than men.
评估杰斐逊医学同理心量表西班牙语版（JSE-S）的心理计量学特性，其因子结构、信度，以及智利护理学生同理心水平行为在性别之间的不变性。
仪器研究设计。JSE-S 应用于 1320 名护理学生。进行了验证性因素分析。进行了性别之间的不变性研究。估计了描述性统计数据。在性别之间，应用了学生 t 分布以及同方差分析。显著性水平为α≤0.05。
验证性因素分析确定了矩阵中存在三个维度。不变性检验的统计结果具有显著性，允许在性别之间进行比较。发现了同理心均值之间的差异，以及性别之间某些维度的差异。
同理心数据及其维度的因子结构与潜在的三维模型相对应。性别之间存在同理心水平及其维度的差异，除了同情关怀维度的分布相似外。女性比男性更有同理心。
