A recent study conducted at the University of Andres Bello in Santiago, Chile, aimed to assess the levels of empathy in students and professors at a dental school. The researchers used the Jefferson Scale of Empathy to measure empathy levels and found that the scale was reliable and valid among Chilean dental students and professors. The study revealed that students scored lower in the affective component and overall empathy compared to their professors, suggesting that students can develop their affective empathy through interactions with their professors. The researchers emphasized the importance of fostering empathy in dental students and professors to improve patient care and treatment adherence. [Extracted from the article] |
