Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between empathy and grades, marital status and personality in psychiatric residents.
Methods: We sent questionnaire packages to total of five hundred ninety two psychiatric residents in eighty two psychiatric residency training hospitals, which include sociodemographic data, Jefferson Scale of Empathy, HP-version, Korean edition (JSE-HP-K), and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).
Results: The 4th-year residents had significantly higher scores on the JSE-HP-K than 1st-year residents. The marital status and empathy had significant correlation. The married showed significantly higher scores on the JSEHP-K. There were no significant differences in empathy with regard to age, sex, motivation toward medical science and club activity. The authors found no significant correlation between the subscales of the TCI and JSE-HP-K score.
Conclusion: These results suggest that empathy is associated with marital status and psychiatry residency program contributes incrementally to empathy for residents.
