The aims of this study were to: (1) examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of JSE-HP and (2) explore empathy among Greek dental postgraduate students.
The JSE-HP scale was translated into Greek using the back translation method. The questionnaire was given to 111 dental postgraduate students between November 2017 and February 2018. A random sample of 25% was retested to assess test-retest reliability. The reliability of the Greek version of JSE-HP was measured with Cronbach's alpha (α) and Discrimination Indices (DIs). Exploratory Factor Analysis, with varimax rotation of the factorial axes, was used to examine the dimensionality and the factorial validity of the Greek version of the JSE-HP. Comparisons between groups of postgraduate students were performed as appropriate with the Kruskal-Wallis or the Mann-Whitney U test.
The response rate was 100%. The mean age was 28.9 years. The reliability, in the sense of internal consistency of the questionnaire was considered satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha: 0.76, average DI: 0.33.) The test-retest reliability was satisfactory (Pearson's r = 0.77, p < 0.001). Factor Analysis revealed 7 significant factors. No statistically significant differences in empathy scores were found among groups of postgraduate students.
The Greek version of the JSE-HP shows good psychometric properties. Empathy scores do not differ among Greek dental postgraduate students.
本研究旨在：（1）检验希腊版 JSE-HP 的心理测量学特性；（2）探索希腊牙科研究生的同理心。
使用反向翻译法将 JSE-HP 量表翻译成希腊语。2017 年 11 月至 2018 年 2 月，向 111 名牙科研究生发放问卷。随机抽取 25%的样本进行重测，以评估测试-重测信度。采用 Cronbach's alpha（α）和 Discrimination Indices（DIs）来衡量希腊版 JSE-HP 的可靠性。采用探索性因子分析，因子轴采用 varimax 旋转，以检验希腊版 JSE-HP 的维度和因子有效性。对研究生群体进行适当的组间比较，采用 Kruskal-Wallis 或 Mann-Whitney U 检验。
应答率为 100%。平均年龄为 28.9 岁。问卷的可靠性，即内部一致性被认为是令人满意的（Cronbach's alpha：0.76，平均 DI：0.33）。测试-重测信度令人满意（Pearson's r=0.77，p<0.001）。因子分析显示有 7 个显著因子。研究生群体之间的同理心评分没有统计学上的显著差异。
希腊版 JSE-HP 具有良好的心理测量学特性。希腊牙科研究生的同理心评分没有差异。
