    Abstract Objective This study aims to determine whether individual resilience can predict empathic behavior in undergraduate nursing students and how resilience influences empathy (positively or negatively). Methods Descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study. The population consisted of 516 students from all academic semesters duly enrolled in the 2023 academic cycle in the Faculty of Nursing, Universidad Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. A convenience sample of 330 students was selected, with a predominance of women compared to men. To assess empathy, the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Health Professionals was used, which has three dimensions (Compassionate Care, Perspective-Taking, and “Walking in the Patient’s Shoes”), and resilience was measured using the Trait Resilience Scale composed of three dimensions (Engineering, Ecology, and Adaptation). Empathy and resilience data were subjected to psychometric analysis to verify compliance with the theoretical model and the presence of the dimensions of each construct in the data. Descriptive statistics of each scale are presented. The prediction of resilience on empathy was performed using Structural Equation Models (SEM). Results There is an overall positive relationship between resilience as a predictor of empathy; the goodness-of-fit indicators of the implemented SEM model prove to be adequate; however, not all dimensions of the resilience variable prove to be adequate predictors when associated with the empathy dimensions, the ecological dimension of resilience positively predicts the perspective-taking dimension of empathy. In contrast, the adaptation dimension negatively predicts the compassionate care dimension of empathy, with no statistically significant relationship in the engineering dimension. Conclusion Individual resilience is a variable that can predict empathetic behavior in nursing students from the studied Faculty of Nursing.

    Introducción: Determinar si las dimensiones de la resiliencia son capaces de predecir las dimensiones de la empatía a partir de las puntuaciones de resiliencia individual en una muestra de estudiantes de ciencias de la salud. Métodos: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1093 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de El Salvador. Se calcularon estadísticas descriptivas para caracterizar la muestra y se estimó la predicción de las dimensiones de resiliencia sobre las de empatía mediante ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: Se encontró que las dimensiones de resiliencia ingenieril y adaptativa predicen negativamente las dimensiones de empatía de adopción de perspectiva y cuidado compasivo, mientras que la dimensión ecológica predijo positivamente las dimensiones de empatía de adopción de perspectiva y cuidado compasivo. Conclusión: La resiliencia individual es una variable que puede influir en la empatía y predecir el comportamiento empático en estudiantes de diferentes carreras o programas de estudio pertenecientes a una Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud. Estos hallazgos proporcionan evidencia empírica que respalda el concepto de que la empatía puede definirse como una variable dependiente de la resiliencia individual. Es necesario incorporar la formación en resiliencia y empatía de forma coordinada en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud.

    <jats:p>Introduction: Empathy is an attribute that contributes to humane care of patients and increases the likelihood of successful treatment. Objectives: To measure the levels of empathy and its dimensions, and diagnose empathic behavior in medicine and nursing students. Materials and Methods: This was a non-experimental, cross-sectional study in which Colombian nursing and medicine students were evaluated using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE). A factor analysis, an analysis of invariance, and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used, and the data were compared to specific cut-off points for each program. Effect size and power of the tests were estimated for the comparisons performed. Results: The theoretical model for the construct ‘empathy’ fitted the observed data, and the invariance of the model between groups was confirmed. Differences were observed between nursing and medical students, as well as between sexes, with results favoring the women group. Discussion: The differences found between students could be partly due to the curricular differences of the programs and the students' interests, whereas those related to sex may be due to characteristics observed in Latin American population. The identified empathy deficiencies allowed for the development of a diagnosis for nursing and medicine students. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is possible to diagnose the empathy levels of students of both programs by identifying the deficiencies observed in the dimensions of empathy.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>Background: Empathy is an attribute that plays an essential role in the dentist–patient therapeutic relationship, clinical care, and treatment adherence, along with providing other benefits. The main objective of this research was to establish the validity, reliability, and invariance of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy and then characterize the empathy levels of students and teachers at a dental school. Materials and Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study analyzed a sample of undergraduate students and professors from the Universidad Andrés Bello Faculty of Dentistry (Chile) (n = 1727 and n = 267, respectively). The Empathy Scale for Health Professionals (HP) and the same scale for students (HPS) were applied. Results: The Jefferson Empathy Scale presents adequate psychometric properties. The empathy measure has adequate reliability and construct validity, confirming a fit of the three-factor empathy model to the data. The measurement is invariant within the university campus, the sex of the student, and between teacher and student. Teachers present greater empathy than students except in the Perspective Adoption dimension. Conclusions: The Jefferson Empathy Scale is reliable, valid, and invariant among Chilean dental students and professors. Students do not differ from their professors in the cognitive component of empathy, but they present a lower score in the affective component and global empathy. It is inferred that students can develop the affective component of empathy in their interactions with their professors, increasing their overall empathy. Understanding and fostering empathy in dental students and professors can significantly improve patient care and treatment adherence and increase patient and dentist satisfaction.</jats:p>

    <jats:p> Introduction: Empathy is a complex and multidimensional attribute. Attempts have been made to explain empathic behavior based on other variables. Empirical evidence shows that empathy could be the product of the influence of several factors. One of these factors could be resilience. There is still no developed theory and consistent empirical evidence demonstrating that empathy depends on resilience. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if resilience can predict empathic behavior. Methodology: This study is non-experimental and ex post facto with a cross-sectional design. Variables. Dependent: Empathy; Independent: Resilience. Population: Medical students belonging to the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Universidad Autónoma de Santa Ana (UNASA), Santa Ana, El Salvador (N=579). The sample (n=465) consisted of students (both sexes). Convenience sampling. Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Healthcare Professionals, student version (JSE-HPS). Trait Resilience Scale (EEA). A Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) model was used. Additionally, the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) (&gt;0.95), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) (&gt;0.95), Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) (&lt;0.08), and Standardized Root Mean Square (SRMR) (&lt;0.08), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed. The significance level employed was ? &lt; 0.05. Results: All these results show that both measurement models (empathy and resilience) are adequately represented and are suitable for the structural model. Discussion: Individual resilience is a variable that can predict empathic behavior in medical students belonging to a Faculty of Health Sciences. The results constitute indirect empirical evidence that it is possible to define empathy as a dependent variable and resilience as an independent variable. </jats:p>
