Empathy is and important element in achieving didactic goals in the field of communication skills. It is a valuable feature particularly in the family doctor practice. 353 students (210 female and 143 male) from the first and last year of medical school were survived by using the psychological questionnaire-"Emotional Empathy Scale" by A. Mehrabian and N. Epstein, evaluating emotional aspects of empathy. The findings suggest that the level of empathy is higher among women than among men from the first year. The difference is statistically significant. During six years of medical education there is a significant decrease of empathy skill in women, specially in its emotional aspect. These students represent the lack of willingness in contact with people having problems. According to these findings we decided to continue our research to check the hypothesis concerning reasons of decreasing level of empathy in medical students.
同理心是在沟通技巧领域实现教学目标的重要因素。它是一项宝贵的特质，在家庭医生的实践中尤为如此。通过使用由A. 梅拉比安和N. 爱泼斯坦编制的心理问卷——“情感同理度量表”，对医学院一年级和最后一年的353名学生（210名女生和143名男生）进行测评，以评估同理心的情感方面。研究结果表明，从一年级起，女性的同理心水平就高于男性。这种差异具有统计学意义。在六年的医学教育过程中，女性的同理心技能显著下降，尤其是在情感方面。这些学生表现出缺乏与有问题的人接触的意愿。根据这些发现，我们决定继续开展研究，以检验关于医学生同理心水平下降原因的假设。
