“…However, attitude is widely considered to be a multidimensional concept, consisting of affective attitude, behavioral attitude, and cognitive attitude (Rosenberg and Hovland, 1960 ; Eagly and Chaiken, 1993 ). Therefore, to accurately describe the Chinese public attitudes toward farm animal welfare, an appropriate multidimensional investigation and measurement of attitude are required (Ferrer-Urbina et al, 2021 ; Giménez-Espert et al, 2021 ).…”

A comprehensive understanding of current Chinese public attitudes toward farm animal welfare and the relevant influencing factors is essential for improving farm animal welfare and promoting further development of animal husbandry. The attitudes of 3,726 respondents in China were investigated using paper and online questionnaires. Three components (affective, cognitive, and behavioral) of attitudes toward farm animal welfare were assessed using 18 items designed based on the literature review. Influential factors of attitudes toward farm animal welfare were explored via tobit regression. The results revealed that the Chinese public not only considers farm animals to be emotional and sentient but are also sympathetic toward farm animals that suffer inhumane treatment. Although they have limited knowledge about farm animal welfare, the public believes improving farm animal welfare is beneficial, especially for food safety and human health. The Chinese public prefers regulation policies to incentive policies for improving farm animal welfare. The main factors influencing attitudes toward farm animal welfare included gender, age, education, monthly household income, area of residence, farm animal raising experience, and attention to farm animal welfare events. The effect of these influencing factors on attitudes varied. These findings provide a basis for improving Chinese public attitudes toward farm animal welfare. The implications of formulating and implementing effective policies to improve the Chinese public attitudes toward farm animal welfare were discussed.

“…These findings can be explained by the fact that the three components of attitude are related, so that feelings (the affective dimension) are based on knowledge, in this case about communication (the cognitive dimension), and communicative behavior (the behavioral dimension) is based on feelings and knowledge about communication [ 21 , 68 ]. The cognitive and affective dimensions were better predictors of the behavioral dimension, as shown in the literature [ 13 , 28 ]. Moreover, empathy may be a predictor of EI [ 37 , 40 ].…”

“…The exclusion criteria were not having been diagnosed with a severe physical or psychiatric illness preventing the student’s presence during the application of the instrument. The data were collected by researchers at the selected universities in the 2018/2019 academic year, using an instrument that included sociodemographic variables (such as sex, age, year of degree course and employment situation of the respondents), attitudes towards communication (ACO) adapted to nursing students [ 28 ], the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS24) [ 55 ] and the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) for nursing students adapted and validated in Spain by Giménez-Espert et al [ 55 ].

“…- Attitudes towards communication with the patient (ACO) for nursing students [ 28 ] (intellectual property UV-MET-201917R registered at the University of Valencia on 8 April 2019). The instrument consisted of 25 items grouped in three dimensions: affective related to patients’ admission, procedure and discharge that create anxiety in nurses, which were written in the negative or reverse to avoid the phenomenon of acquiescence [ 60 ] (i.e., 12 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.95, e.g., “I’m nervous when I give time to the patient and/or family to ask questions and express their concerns”); behavioral, related to information on admission, obtaining informed consent and information on discharge (i.e., 9 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.92, e.g., “I usually check that the patient and / or family has understood the discharge information”); and cognitive, referring to the importance of the information that can help in recovery, on discharge care and finally a collaboration with other members of the healthcare team (i.e., 4 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.85, e.g., “I need to work with other healthcare team members to provide information to enable the continuity of care.”).…”

“…Communication skills, empathy and EI are fundamental aspects for identifying patients’ needs, increasing nurses’ clinical competence and providing better patient care [ 25 ]; however, they are not evaluated during nursing students’ training [ 21 ]. Although the literature indicates that the levels of these variables may vary according to the participants’ characteristics and as the training of nursing students progresses, after being exposed to complex real-life situations and human suffering without adequate preparation and training [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], the explanation may lie in the time constraints of curricula which lead to nurses’ clinical competence being prioritized rather than their emotional skills [ 2 ].…”

Communication in nursing is essential to the quality of care and patients’ satisfaction, and personal variables such as empathy and emotional intelligence (EI) can improve it; however, no studies have to date analyzed these competencies and their relations among nursing students compared with nurses. The aims of this study are, therefore, to analyze the differences between nursing students and nurses in the means for empathy, EI and attitudes towards communication in order to assess the impact of empathy and EI on nurses’ and nursing students’ attitudes towards communication, and their influence on the behavioral dimension of attitude. A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on a convenience sample of 961 nursing students and 460 nurses from the Valencian community, Spain. T-test and hierarchical regression models (HRM) were used. The data was collected in the selected universities in the 2018/2019 academic year. The results showed high levels in all the variables analyzed (i.e., empathy, EI, and attitudes towards communication) in both samples. The HRM results suggested that empathy was a better predictor than EI of the attitudes towards patient communication among both the nursing students and nurses. In the behavioral dimension of the attitude, the cognitive and affective dimensions had greater weight than the emotional component (i.e., empathy and EI). Developing empathy and the cognitive dimension of the attitude in nursing students and nurses could, therefore, help improve EI and attitudes towards communication. These findings are important for developing intervention programs adjusted to real needs.

Background Attitudes determine behavior, and alterations in attitude may result in behavioral changes. Medical students would benefit from learning communication skills. This study aimed to determine the attitude of medical students toward the importance of learning communication skills and the training courses and their role in contributing. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 442 medical students from three different levels of medical training were enrolled. Students in the first 4 years of the medical program were classified as basic sciences and physiopathology students, those in the fifth and sixth years were classified as clerkship students, and those in the last three terms of medical training were classified as interns. The attitude among these three groups was assessed by the Communication Skills Attitude Scale (CSAS) questionnaire, and the contributing factors were determined. Results The mean total points for attitude in positive and negative aspects were 50.7 and 30.9, respectively showing a positive attitude toward communication skills among medical students. The median scores of the scales Important in Medical Content, Excuse, Learning, and Overconfidence varied significantly from highest to lowest, respectively. Gender, educational level, ethnic origin, language, family burden, paternal literacy, history of presence in communication skills courses, self-report from communication skills, and need to further learning in this era showed significant association with attitude (P < 0.05). Conclusions It may be concluded that generally, medical students have a positive attitude toward communication skills, and this perspective is a multi-factorial entity that programming according to the various related factors would help to attainment of additional communication capabilities among medical students.
