There was no significant difference in JSPE-HPS score among the different colleges (P = 0.532). Overall JSPE-HPS score was 116 (± 11.7), consistent with other healthcare professional samples. Three hundred students responded to the survey.
A linear model with no transformation was used in the multivariable analysis. To examine bivariate associations, Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used. The cross-sectional survey included background questions, probing questions, college-specific questions, and the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals Student version (JSPE-HPS). MethodsĪn online survey was delivered to healthcare students, including nursing, pharmacy, dental, and medical colleges (IRB ID #202,003,636). This study aims to assess empathy levels and associated factors among students at different healthcare colleges at the University of Iowa. Empathic care is considered extremely important by patients and providers alike but there is still an ample need for assessing empathy among healthcare students and professionals and identifying appropriate educational interventions to improve it.
