Empatia em estudantes e profissionais de saúde: análise fatorial da Escala Multidimensional de Reatividade Interpessoal

Resumo Competências foram definidas como o conjunto de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes que um profissional deverá adquirir para exercer determinada atividade de trabalho. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as competências em cuidados paliativos entre os estudantes matriculados em um curso de medicina brasileiro. Todos os estudantes matriculados foram convidados para participar e preencheram a ferramenta Palliative Competence Tool. Os dados obtidos foram calculados em escores entre zero e 100 e comparados entre as dez competências e os ciclos acadêmicos. Os resultados mostraram quatro padrões, sendo o mais frequente a redução dos escores entre estudantes dos ciclos básico e intermediário, com recuperação parcial no estágio. Apenas a competência ética e tomada de decisão mostrou elevação no estágio. Concluiu-se que a aquisição de competências em cuidados paliativos na graduação médica ainda é frágil. Novas estratégias de ensino poderão ser adotadas com intenção de aprimorar a aquisição de competências no futuro.

“…It is expected that general practitioners develop the ability to identify emotional suffering in patients, provide support throughout their disease trajectory, and have a compassionate approach. One possible explanation for the decline in this competence is the reduction in empathy among medical students, as evidenced by several studies [38][39][40] .…”

Palliative care competence among medical students

Competencies have been defined as the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that a professional should acquire to perform a certain work activity. This study aimed to assess competencies in palliative care among students enrolled in a Brazilian medical course. All enrolled students were invited to participate and answer the Palliative Competence Tool. The data obtained were calculated in scores between zero and 100 and compared between the ten competencies and academic cycles. The results showed four patterns, the most frequent being a reduction in scores among students in the basic and intermediate cycles, with partial recovery in the internship. Only ethical competence and decision-making increased in the internship. It was concluded that the acquisition of palliative care competencies in undergraduate medical education remains fragile. New teaching strategies could be adopted to improve their acquisition in the future.

“…The first was the Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) 15 (empathy scale), translated and validated in Brazil by Sampaio and collaborators 16 under the name Multidimensional Scale of Interpersonal Reactivity (EMRI). In a study by Corradi-Perini and collaborators 17 , this scale showed internal consistency and psychometric indicators of acceptable factor structure to evaluate empathy among healthcare professionals.…”

In health care, empathy is associated to several benefits; however, many studies have shown a decrease in empathy during medical education, which negatively impacts the humanization of care. This cross-sectional study analyzes the relation between sociodemographic factors and physicians’ level of empathy, as well as medical ethical values. A total of 143 Brazilian physicians answered empathy and hospitality scales. Results point to a relation between empathy and hospitality, as well as that factors such as gender, specialty and history of suffering influence care humanization.
