Data were obtained from the I MEDUERJ - 2011 Census, a cross-sectional study in which it was applied to medical students of the State University of Rio de Janeiro a self-administered online questionnaire containing socioeconomic and behavioral variables and resilience evaluation, alongside empathy, as a dependent variable, through the Jefferson Scale.

Multivariate analysis was then performed using a multiple linear regression model. All 542 included students answered the questionnaire, being 60.5% female, 61.2% white, and the mean age was 23.5 years. The empathy score was 121.8 (SD = 11.79), with a minimum score of 72 and a maximum of 140, and no decline was observed during the course years.
