ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To clarify differences in medical students’ emotional intelligence and empathy among 4 school years and sex.<br>Methods:
A cross-sectional study of 370 medical students in years 1, 2, 4, and 6 was performed with Japanese versions of 2 self-reported questionnaires the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Short Form (TEIQue-SF) and the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy–Student Version (JSPE-S).<br>Results:
Total scores of the TEIQue–SF tended to decrease in higher school years. However, the total score of the JSPE-S was significantly increased in year 6 but was decreased in year 4. Male students had higher TEIQue–SF scores, and female students had higher JSPE-S scores. Of the 4 factors of the TEIQue–SF compared (well-being, self-control, emotionality, and sociability), only sociability was higher in males. No differences were found among school years. The scores of the TEIQue–SF and the JSPE-S showed a weak correlation. Of the factors of the TEIQue–SF, only self-control showed no correlation with the JSPE-S.<br>Discussion andConclusion:
These results suggest that the emotional intelligence of both male and female medical students tends to decline. The increase in JSPE-S scores in year 6 suggests that medical interview training is effective. Furthermore, training is important both to enhance emotional intelligence and to teach self-control skills.
