ABSTRACT
Objetivo: estimar la orientación empática y el comportamiento de la estructura del constructo empatia en los estudiantes de enfermería de la Universidad Mayor, sede Temuco (Chile). Materiales y métodos: se aplicó la Escala de Empatia Médica de Jefferson en la versión en español para estudiantes, validada culturalmente mediante criterio de jueces. Se estimó confiabilidad interna mediante la prueba alfa de Cronbach y aditividad de Tukey. Las medias de las sumatorias de los datos de los sujetos fueron comparadas mediante Anova bifactorial y prueba de Duncan. Se emplearon las pruebas de adecuación muestral. Los componentes fueron estimados por medio de una prueba factorial de componentes principales con rotación varimax. Resultados: la escala mostró confiabilidad. Existen diferencias de orientación empática entre los cursos, pero no en el género; se observaron seis componentes. Conclusiones: los estudiantes de enfermeria se caracterizan por tener niveles de empatia relativamente altos, los cuales no difieren entre los géneros y existe una tendencia a su aumento a medida que los cursos avanzan.
Objective: Estimate the empathic orientation and behavior of the structure of the empathy construct in nursing students at the Universidad Mayor, Temuco Campus (Chile). Materials and methods: The Spanish version of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy for students was applied. It is culturally validated through criteria for judges. Internal reliability was estimated using Cronbach's alpha test and Tukey's additivity test. The averages of the summations of the data on the participants were compared through a two-way ANOVA and Duncan's test. Sampling adequacy tests were conducted. The components were estimated through a factor analysis of the principal components with varimax rotation. Results: The scale showed reliability. There are differences in empathic orientation among the courses, but not in terms of gender; six components were observed. Conclusions: Nursing students are characterized by having relatively high levels of empathy, which did not differ between genders, and there is a tendency for empathy to increase as the courses progress.
Objetivo: estimar a orientação empática e o comportamento da estrutura do construto empatia nos estudantes de enfermagem da Universidad Mayor, Sede Temuco (Chile). Materiais e métodos: aplicou-se a Escala de Empatia Médica de Jefferson na versão em espanhol para estudantes, validada culturalmente mediante critério de juízes. Estimou-se confiabilidade interna por meio da prova alfa de Cronbach e aditividade de Tukey. As médias das somatórias dos dados dos sujeitos foram comparadas mediante Anova bifatorial e a prova de Duncan. Empregaram-se as provas de adequação amostral. Os componentes foram estimados por uma prova fatorial de componentes principais com rotação varimax. Resultados: a escala mostrou confiabilidade. Existem diferenças de orientação empática entre os cursos, mas não no gênero; observaram-se seis componentes. Conclusões: os estudantes de enfermagem se caracterizam por ter níveis de empatia relativamente altos, os quais não diferem entre os gêneros e existe uma tendência a seu aumento à medida que os cursos avançam.

OBJECTIVE: To compare empathic orientation among medical students from three schools of medicine in Colombia and one in the Dominican Republic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Empathic orientation of medical students was measured using the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE), Spanish version for students (the "S" version) validated in Mexico and Chile, and culturally adapted to Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Data were compared using a three-factor analysis of variance (model III) and a discriminant analysis. RESULTS: No differences in empathic orientation were observed among courses and between sexes, but differences were found in schools of medicine considered as a unit in each studied country. CONCLUSIONS: Empathic orientation levels tend to reduce as courses advance. This was observed in both male and female students and in all schools analyzed.

Objetivo. Comparar la orientación empática entre estudiantes de Medicina de tres facultades de Medicina de Colombia y una de República Dominicana. Material y métodos. Se midió la orientación empática de los estudiantes de Medicina mediante la escala de empatía médica de Jefferson, en la versión en español para estudiantes (versión S) validada en México y Chile, y adaptada culturalmente a Colombia y República Dominicana. Los datos se compararon mediante un análisis de varianza trifactorial (modelo III) y por un análisis discriminante. Resultados. No se encontraron diferencias de orientación empática entre los cursos ni entre los sexos, pero sí entre las facultades de Medicina consideradas como una unidad en cada uno de los países estudiados. Conclusiones. Los niveles de orientación empática tienden a disminuir a medida que los cursos avanzan. Este hecho se produce en estudiantes de ambos sexos y en todas las facultades analizadas.(AU)

ABSTRACT
Resumen Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de orientación empática de los estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad del Norte. Materiales y Métodos: Investigación de tipo descriptiva transversal. La población estaba constituida por 859 estudiantes, de la cual se tomó una muestra de 345 estudiantes voluntarios (niveles: 1°, 2°, 3°, 4° y 5° año), (1°. n = 128, 2º. n = 102, 3°. n = 38, 4°. n = 41, y 5°. n = 36). Se aplicó, en 2012, la versión en español de la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson (EEMJ) para estudiantes de medicina (versión S), validada en México y Chile y adaptada culturalmente a Colombia mediante el método de validación por criterio de jueces, se calculó: promedio, desviación y se aplicó análisis de varianza bifactorial para diferencia de medias y evaluar interacción entre las variables estudiadas. Resultados: La orientación empática presentó valores ubicados por encima del valor central del rango de la escala que oscila entre 20 y 140. No se encontraron diferencias significativas por género ni por año en las puntuaciones. Conclusiones: Los promedios de orientación empática presentaron tendencia casi constante con fluctuaciones no significativas. Sería de gran valor investigar otras variables que pueden afectar la empatía.
Abstract Objective: To determine the level of empathic orientation of medical students at the University of the North (Barranquilla, Colombia). Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive transversal research. The population consisted of 859 students, and 345 students of the Medicine School of North University who belonged to 1° (n= 128), 2° (n= 102), 3° (n=38), 4° (n=41) and 5° (n= 36) levels participated in the study. The Spanish version of the Scale of Physician Empathy Jefferson (JSPE) for medical students (S version) was applied. This scale approved in Mexico and Chile and culturally adapted in Colombia by the method of validation criteria for judges, was calculated: mean, standard deviation and two-factor analysis of variance applied to assess mean difference and interaction between these variables. Results: There was empathic orientation values located above the central value of the scale range of between 20 and 140. There were no significant differences by gender or year in the ratings. Conclusions: Empathic orientation averages showed almost constant trend fluctuations insignificant. Would be valuable to investigate other variables that may affect empathy.
