“…The study of empathy, related variables and conditions of its development remains a topic of interest for students and professionals of health sciences. Indeed, several authors have carried out empathy studies in Latin America in students of Health Sciences: nursing, medicine, dentistry, kinesiology, and nutrition [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 32 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ] and have shown that the distribution of empathy throughout the courses and in the sex is variable. Specifically, that the premise of the existence of empathic decline and that the levels of empathy between the sexes always favor women, is not fulfilled in some studies [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 ].…”

There are also works that associate the levels of empathy with personality in medical students [ 8 ], with teamwork, permanent learning, and family loneliness, also in medical students [ 73 ] and that individual characteristics and those related to society and the family are related to the development of empathy [ 74 ].…”
