To validate the Korean-translated Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professions Student version (JSE-HPS) and to investigate the empathy levels of pharmacy students in South Korea. The JSE-HPS and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) were administered to 452 pharmacy students in their second and third years at 5 Korean universities. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlations, and one-way ANOVAs were conducted for data analyses. The final sample size comprised 447 responses. The 3-factor model of the JSE-HPS was confirmed by CFA and the convergent validity was also supported by its correlations with the IRI subscales. The overall mean score was 80.3.Pharmacy students enrolled in women's or private universities reported significantly higher levels of overall empathy than their counterparts in co-edor national …show more content…
Subjects were randomized to an intervention group (n=20) or control group (n=20) and completed the JSE-HPS at baseline, 7 days post intervention, and 90 days post intervention. The intervention group consisted of a 3-day simulation, each day including a designated activity with loss of dominant hand usage, vision, and speech. The 3-day simulation increased empathy levels in the intervention group compared to the control group 7 days post intervention (p=0.035). However, there were no effects on empathy levels 90 days post intervention (p=0.38).Empathy scores increased but were not sustained in the long-term with a 3-day empathy intervention.(Lor, Truong, Ip, & Barnett,
