“…However, there are studies that report some indicators of empathy in the context of patient care to be associated with patient outcomes. For example, it was shown that specific features of empathic engagement in patient care, marked by understanding, communication, positive language, appropriate touching, eye contact and bodily posture, can lead to patient satisfaction (Hall et al 1988 Falvo & Tippy 1988;Squier 1990), patients' feelings of being important (Colliver et al 1998), accuracy of diagnosis (Barsky 1981), accuracy of prognosis, (Dubnicki 1977) and lower rates of malpractice litigation (Beckman et al 1994;Levinson et al 1997).…”

In a paradigm of physician performance we propose that both ''cognitive'' and ''noncognitive'' components contribute to the performance of physicians-in-training and in-practice. Our review of the relevant literature indicates that personality, as an important factor of the ''noncognitive'' component, plays a significant role in academic and professional performances. We describe findings on 14 selected personality instruments in predicting academic and professional performances. We question the contention that personality can be validly and reliably assessed from admission interviews, letters of recommendation, essays, and personal statements. Based on conceptual relevance and currently available empirical evidence, we propose that personality attributes such as conscientiousness and empathy should be considered among the measures of choice for the assessment of pertinent aspects of personality in academic and professional performance. Further exploration is needed to search for additional personality attributes pertinent to medical education and patient care. Implications for career counseling, assessments of professional development and medical education outcomes, and potential use as supplementary information for admission decisions are discussed.''In the physician or surgeon no quality takes rank with imperturbability [which] means coolness and presence of mind under all circumstances and the physician who has the misfortune to be without it loses rapidly the confidence of his patient.''

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Previous research highlighted the effect of engaging empathetically with patients on improvements in patient satisfaction and adherence, and accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) Standards recognize the importance of empathy in pharmacy education, emphasizing the value of cultural competence, health literacy, and health care disparity awareness. 17 Evidence is mixed when measuring levels of empathy among health care professional students over time.…”

Objective. To determine the impact of a single, 3-day intervention on empathy levels as measured by the validated Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Profession Students version (JSE-HPS). Methods. Forty second-year student pharmacists were recruited to participate in a non-blinded prospective study. Subjects were randomized to an intervention group (n520) or control group (n520) and completed the JSE-HPS at baseline, 7 days postintervention, and 90 days postintervention. The intervention group consisted of a 3-day simulation, each day including a designated activity with loss of dominant hand usage, vision, and speech. Results. The 3-day simulation increased empathy levels in the intervention group compared to the control group 7 days postintervention (p50.035). However, there were no effects on empathy levels 90 days postintervention (p50.38). Conclusion. Empathy scores increased but were not sustained in the long-term with a 3-day empathy intervention.

Objective. To validate the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Profession Students version (JSE-HPS) in pharmacy students. Methods. The JSE-HPS (20 items), adapted from the original Jefferson Scale of Empathy for use among students in the healthcare professions, was completed by 187 first-year pharmacy students at Midwestern University Chicago College of Pharmacy. Results. Two factors, "perspective-taking" and "compassionate care," emerged from factor analysis in this study, accounting for 31% and 8% of the variance, respectively. These factors are similar to the prominent ones reported in previous research involving physicians and medical students, supporting the construct validity of this instrument for pharmacy students. In the current study, mean JSE-HPS score was comparable to those reported for medical students, and consistent with previous findings with medical students and physicians. Women scored significantly higher than men. Conclusions. Findings support the construct validity and reliability of the JSE-HPS for measuring empathy in pharmacy students.
