PURPOSE
To investigate the association of ageism, empathy, and other possible explanatory factors among dental students in southern Brazil.
METHODS
An online questionnaire and in-person visits were used for collecting sociodemographic data, dental training experiences, and attitudes toward aging, and employing the validated Brazilian versions of the Ageism Scale for Dental Students (ASDS-Braz) and Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the JSE and ASDS-Braz, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was then employed to explore the relationships between total ageism score, total empathy score, and other factors.
RESULTS
CFA for ASDS-Braz and JSE and the SEM showed marginal root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) values and displayed expected loading directions. Among 626 predoctoral dental students (91.5% response rate), SEM revealed significant associations between the university attended and total empathy score with total ageism score, and sex with total empathy score.
CONCLUSION
Among southern Brazilian dental students, university attended and overall empathy levels are strongly linked to the total ageism score. At the same time, gender shows a significant correlation with the overall empathy score.
目的
调查巴西南部牙科学生中年龄歧视、同理心及其他可能的解释因素之间的关联。
方法
采用在线问卷和实地走访收集社会人口学数据、牙科培训经历以及对衰老的态度，并使用经过验证的巴西版牙科学生年龄歧视量表（ASDS - Braz）和杰斐逊同理心量表（JSE）。验证性因素分析（CFA）用于验证JSE和ASDS - Braz，然后采用结构方程模型（SEM）探讨年龄歧视总分、同理心总分与其他因素之间的关系。
结果
ASDS - Braz和JSE的CFA以及SEM显示出近似均方根误差（RMSEA）值处于临界范围，并呈现出预期的载荷方向。在626名牙科博士前学生中（回复率为91.5%），SEM显示所就读的大学、同理心总分与年龄歧视总分之间存在显著关联，以及性别与同理心总分之间存在显著关联。
结论
在巴西南部牙科学生中，所就读的大学和总体同理心水平与年龄歧视总分密切相关。同时，性别与总体同理心得分存在显著相关性。
