| description | Empathy has a significant impact on the relationship between nurses and patients,
and on the quality of care that they provide. Since the time when the concept of empathy
was first introduced into the field of nursing science, it has come to be acknowledged as
an essential component of efficient nursing care as well as in nursing education. This
study aimed to assess the level of empathy among nursing students of School of Health
Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Besides that, this study also investigates the
association between socio-demographic data with the level of empathy among nursing
students of School of Health Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Data was collected
through a set of questionnaires adapted by Spreng et al. (2009) that was distributed
through an online platform, from March 2022 to May 2022. A total of 187 nursing
students aged between 18 to 29 years old from diploma and degree programme were
involved in this study. The findings revealed that majority of nursing students in USM (n
= 111, 59.4%) have a high level of empathy. Two socio-demographic data which are
gender (p = 0.001) and programme of study (p = 0.016) have statistically significant
difference with level of empathy. In conclusion, even though most of the nursing students
in USM have high level of empathy, the findings also show quite a few numbers of
students with low level of empathy, which means there are still students with lack of
empathy. Hence, a further ability of education needs to be considered to improve
empathic response. |
