Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess empathy and resilience among healthcare college students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by healthcare college students from August 13 to October 13, 2018. Mean and standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The average score for perspective taking was 3.57(${\pm}0.48$), fantasy 3.39(${\pm}0.59$), empathic concern 3.57(${\pm}0.39$), personal distress($3.02{\pm}0.48$), and resilience $3.37{\pm}$(0.41). There was a significant positive correlation between perspective taking (r=.388, p<.001) and resilience. Factors influencing resilience were perspective taking fantasy(${\beta}=.219$, p<.001), empathic concern(${\beta}=.207$, p=.004), and personal distress(${\beta}=-.303$, p<.001). Conclusion: More studies are needed to develop the empathy improvement program for healthcare college students.
