ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of narrative medicine course on the empathy ability and comprehensive ability training of residents in the standardized residency training in municipal hospitals.Methods:A narrative medicine group was set up in a municipal hospital, and a anarrative medical course of 2 months of narrative theory teaching and 4 months of clinical practice education was carried out among 42 residents. The Chinese version of the Interpersonal Response Index Scale (IRI-C) was used to measure the empathy ability at 4 time points (before intervention, 2 months after theory education, 2 months after practice, and 4 months after practice). The effect of narrative medicine courses was evaluated through the satisfaction questionnaire survey, parallel medical record writing and the first-time pass rate of Medical Practitioner Qualification Examination. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the variance of one-way repeated measurement.Results:The empathy ability of 42 residents was significantly improved. The empathy score after 2 months after practice was higher than that before intervention and after the theoretical course ( P < 0.05), while the empathy score after 4 months of practice was higher than that before intervention and after the theoretical course ( P < 0.05). The most popular theoretical teaching forms among residents were interactive theoretical teaching (64.29%, 27/42), video viewing (59.52%, 25/42), and situational simulation (52.38%, 22/42). The comprehensive abilities of parallel medical record writing and podium performance among residents were improved. Passing the Medical Practitioner Qualification Examination is a necessary condition for passing the residency training program. The first-time pass rate of the Qualification Examination for the residents was 72.00% (18/25), which was higher than that of the residents who were not recruited during the same period (64.71%, 11/17). Conclusion:Carrying out narrative medicine education is helpful to improve the empathy ability and comprehensive ability of training residents in municipal hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the practice and effect of peer education in improving the empathic ability of in-service nurses. Methods A total of 122 in-service nurses at a tertiary hospital scoring below 60％ in empathy ability, were randomly divided into a control group and a research group by data table method. The nurses in the control group received theoretical training in empathy, and the nurses in the research group participated in peer-educated periodic empathy training activities. The Chinese version of interpersonal response index scale ( IRI-C) , nurses'humanistic care quality table, general self-efficacy scale were used before and after intervention. Results Before the intervention, the scores of the two groups of Chinese version of interpersonal response index scale ( IRI-C) , perspective-taking ( PT) , Fantasies ( FS) , empathic concern (EC) and Personal Distress (PD) were not statistically significant (P >0. 05). After intervention, the scores of the two groups of Chinese version of interpersonal response index scale ( IRI-C) , Fantasies ( FS) and Personal Distress ( PD) scores in the research group were all higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in the scoring before and after intervention in the control group (P>0. 05). The total score and personal pain (PD) dimensions of the Chinese version of interpersonal response index scale ( IRI-C) were significantly higher than those before the intervention ( P<0. 01). The total score of nurses' humanistic care quality, the score of humanistic care ability and humanistic care perception were all higher than those before intervention in the study group (P<0. 05), and differences are statistically significant. Conclusions The practice of peer-education empathy training can effectively improve the empathy and humanistic care quality of the in-service nurses, and improve the nursing service level.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of nerve physicians ' empathy on depressive mood of hospitalized stroke patients .Methods:Choosing hospitalized stroke patients in a hospital in Guangdong province from January 2017 to May 2017 ,we used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( HADS) to measure their depressive mood;the Jefferson Scale of Empathy -Health Professionals ( JSE-HP) to measure their charge doctors ' empathy ability and analyzed the effect of doctors ' empathy on patients ' depressive mood .Results:The score of patients ' depres-sive mood was (7.48 ±4.75).Doctors' empathy ability and patients' family relationship were the influencing fac-tors of depressive mood of hospitalized stroke patients .After equilibrating other factors , when a one -point in-creased on the doctor ' s empathy score , the patient ' s depressive mood score decreased by 0 .135 points ( P <0 .001 ) .Conclusion:Hospitalized stroke patients managed by neurological physicians with high empathy ability are less likely to be depressive .Narrative medicine and empathy should be applied and deepened in the clinical prac -tice.

ABSTRACT
Abstract We used the virtual hand illusion paradigm to study how sense of agency and sense of (body) ownership can interact with different emotional events on stress feelings. Converging evidence for at least the partial independence of agency and ownership was found. For instance, sense of agency was a better predictor of individual anxiety levels than sense of ownership and males showed stronger effects related to agency—presumably due to gender-specific attribution styles and empathy skills. Moreover, agency and ownership also interacted with emotional events and led to different anxiety levels. Taken together, our findings suggest that the disentangled sense of agency and sense of ownership can interact with different emotional events and influenced stress feelings more in threatening situations than awarding ones.

Objective To carry on the training of empathy ability among nursing undergraduates and understand its influence on that empathy and professional commitment. Methods Nursing undergraduates of two classes in the Chengdu University of TCM were selected as the objects in this study, who had accepted Nursing Psychology. The students in one class (52 cases) as the intervention group, while the students in the other class (61 cases )as the control group. Routine education was used in the control group, the empathy education was used in the intervention group in addition. On the basis of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) and Nursing professional commitment Scale a survey on empathy ability among nursing undergraduates and professional commitment had done for the investigation of its influence on those two sides. Results After the training, the general professional commitment scores in the intervention group was 85.89 ± 11.86, which was significant higher than 77.53 ± 11.93 in the control group (t=3.822,P < 0.01). The final scores of commitment and empathy had significant relation with their respective latitudes (P < 0.05 or <0.01). Conclusions The training of empathy ability among nursing undergraduates affects their empathy ability and professional commitment. And students’professional commitment can be improved through some targeted trainings.
