Download or read book Exploring Empathy with Medical Students written by David Ian Jeffrey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates new insights into the factors influencing empathy in medical students. Addressing the widely perceived empathy gap in teaching and medical practice, the book presents a new study into how this emotion is facilitated in the UK undergraduate medical curriculum, and its influence on doctor-patient relationships. The author utilises Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to investigate how medical students’ perspective on empathy changed throughout their education. It presents the risks students perceive when connecting emotionally with patients; their use of detachment as a taught coping mechanism; and the question of how they regulate their emotions. The book reveals the tension between students’ connection with and detachment from a patient and their aim to achieve an appropriate balance. The author presents a number of factors which seem to enhance empathy, and explores the balance of scientific biomedical versus psychosocial approaches in medical training. In contrast to the commonly-reported opinion that there has been decline in medical students’ empathy, this book contends that student empathy in fact increased during their training. This new study offers invaluable insight into how students and practitioners may be supported in dealing appropriately with their emotions as well as with those of their patients, thereby facilitating more humane medical care.

Book excerpt: "In response to the perceived dehumanizing methods of biomedicine, the humanist medical movement of the 1960's brought with it a demand for the return of empathy to clinical practice. With this demand, the interdisciplinary field known as the medical or health humanities sought to bring empathic and humanistic care through the arts and literature, with a focus on patient-provider communication. From this field came narrative medicine, a field that looks to facilitate patient-provider communication through the inclusion of patient narratives. However, even with all the support, the implementation of empathy into medicine proves to be a complicated endeavor. Empathy, a complex emotion that resists definition, can have adverse effects for both patient and provider when not applied and regulated correctly. There are various strategies involving the regulation of empathy in medicine, including distancing, detachment, or emotional numbing. There is no one standard method, and what might work with one patient might not work for another, as with providers. To understand how these various methods and strategies work, I argue that an examination of provider narratives can provide insight into how empathy can be properly regulated in various situations. The narratives of health care providers contain themes, metaphors, and elements that convey accessible communication about the ways in which empathy can be regulated and the benefits of that proper regulation."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Empathy-Based Ethics by : David Ian Jeffrey
Download or read book Empathy-Based Ethics written by David Ian Jeffrey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a new way of applying clinical ethics. Empathy-based ethics is based on the patient–doctor relationship and seeks to encourage a more humane form of medical practice. The author argues that the current emphasis on the biomedical model of medicine and a detached concern form of professionalism have damaged the patient–doctor relationship. He investigates examples of the dehumanization of patients and demonstrates a contrasting view of humane care. The book presents empathy as a relational construct - it provides an in-depth analysis of the process of empathizing. It discusses an empathy-based ethics approach underpinned by clinical examples of the practical application of this new approach. It suggests how empathy-based ethics can be embedded in clinical practice, medical education and research. The book concludes by examining the challenges in implementing such an approach and looks to a future which redresses the current imbalance between biomedical and psychosocial approaches to medicine.

Book Synopsis Teaching Empathy in Healthcare by : Adriana E. Foster
Download or read book Teaching Empathy in Healthcare written by Adriana E. Foster and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empathy is essential to effectively engaging patients as partners in care. Clinicians’ empathy is increasingly understood as a professional competency, a mode and process of relating that can be learned and taught. Communication and empathy training are penetrating healthcare professions curricula as knowledge about the most effective modalities to train, maintain, and deepen empathy grows. This book draws on a wide range of contributors across many disciplines, and takes an evidence-based and longitudinal approach to clinical empathy education. It takes the reader on an engaging journey from understanding what empathy is (and how it can be measured), to approaches to empathy education informed by those understandings. It elaborates the benefits of embedding empathy training in graduate and post-graduate curricula and the importance of teaching empathy in accord with the clinician’s stage of professional development. Finally, it examines systemic perspectives on empathy and empathy education in the clinical setting, addressing issues such as equity, stigma, and law. Each section is full of the latest evidence-based research, including, notably, the advances that have been made over recent decades in the neurobiology of empathy. Perspectives among the interdisciplinary chapters include: Neurobiology of empathy Measuring empathy in healthcare Teaching clinicians about affect Teaching cultural humility: Understanding the core of others by reflecting on ours Empathy and implicit bias: Can empathy training improve equity? Teaching Empathy in Healthcare: Building a New Core Competency takes an innovative and comprehensive approach towards a developed understanding of empathy in the clinical context. This evidence-based book is set to become a classic text on the topic of empathy in healthcare settings, and will appeal to a broad readership of clinicians, educators, and researchers in clinical medicine, neuroscience, behavioral health, and the social sciences, leaders in educational and professional organizations, and anyone interested in the healthcare services they utilize.
Book Synopsis Empathy and the Practice of Medicine by : Howard Marget Spiro
Download or read book Empathy and the Practice of Medicine written by Howard Marget Spiro and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book - which includes essays by physicians, philosophers, and a nurse - is divided into three parts: one deals with how empathy is weakened or lost during the course of medical education and suggests how to remedy this; another describes the historical and philosophical origins of empathy and provides arguments for and against it; and a third section offers compelling accounts of how physicians' empathy for their patients has affected their own lives and the lives of those in their care. We hear, for example, from a physician working in a hospice who relates the ways that the staff try to listen and respond to the needs of the dying; a scientist who interviews candidates for medical school and tells how qualities of empathy are undervalued by selection committees; a nurse who considers what nursing can teach physicians about empathy; another physician who ponders whether the desire to be empathic can hinder the detachment necessary for objective care; and several contributors who show how literature and art can help physicians to develop empathy.
Book Synopsis Personal and Contextual Factors Related to Empathy in Medical Students by : Deborah Camalier Walker
Download or read book Personal and Contextual Factors Related to Empathy in Medical Students written by Deborah Camalier Walker and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that research has emphasized the importance of empathy in the establishment of the physician-patient relationship (Norfolk, Birdi, & Walsh, 2007), little empirical research has been undertaken to identify and measure the factors related to the development of empathy among medical students. Several studies have suggested that the quality of the doctor-patient relationship not only influences the patient's perception and attitudes toward disease (Lerman et al., 1993), but also precipitates positive, measurable results, including quality of life and improved health outcomes (Baile & Aaron, 2005; Barrier, Li, & Jensen, 2003; Stewart, 1995; Traveline, Ruchinskas, & D'Alonzo, 2005; Teutsch, 2003). The present study explored both personal and contextual factors posited to influence levels of empathy in medical students. Personal factors included self-esteem, altruism, and personal experience with illness. Medical school year, chosen specialty, and participation in psycho-social curriculum were considered as contextual factors. The following hypotheses guided the study: H1 - Controlling for age, gender and race, those medical students with higher levels of self-esteem and altruism, and those who have had personal experience with chronic/serious illness, will have higher levels of measured empathy than those medical students who do not. H2 - Controlling for age, gender and race, those medical students who are in their first year of study, who have participated in psycho-social curricular electives, and who have selected either psychiatry, pediatrics, emergency, family or internal medicine as a specialty, will have higher levels of measured empathy than students in the second, third or fourth year, those students who have not participated in psycho-social curricular electives, and those who have selected either orthopedic surgery or anesthesiology as specialties. Four reliable and valid instruments measuring self-esteem, altruism, and dimensions of empathy constituted the majority of the questions in the online survey. Descriptive statistics were conducted to describe the sample. Reliability statistics were run on all scales using Cronbach's Alpha, and multiple regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. Significant findings indicate the following:1) Medical students with higher levels of self-esteem and altruism, and those who have had personal experience with chronic/serious illness, have higher levels of measured empathy. 2) Students participating in the Mind/Body psycho-social curricular elective have greater levels of empathy than those not enrolled in this program. 3) Students selecting the specialty category of Orthopedics/Anesthesiology have lowered measured levels of empathy than students in other specialties. 4) Female students have greater empathy than male students. Implications for the study suggest that the social work profession is uniquely important in health care, as it considers the whole person as a self-determining individual influenced and influencing his or her environment (Reese & Raymer, 2004). In terms of education, with an understanding of the cognitive and affective dimensions of empathy gleaned through an exploration of both personal and contextual factors, social workers are in a unique position to shape curricular changes and to disseminate the information to students in medical school. Furthermore, an examination of the factors influencing empathy help to broaden existing knowledge for future research, while adding to the general area of expertise.

Book excerpt: Introduction This study used elements of process drama to explore and facilitate training of empathy skills in medical students. To do so, a training session through role-play was introduced, which was evaluated through qualitative reflections and pre- and post-training ratings. Background and Objectives Research has proven that students of medicine lose their empathy during the course of study. Introducing an aspect of humanities into medical training is advocated as a sensible way for medical students to retain and develop the empathy they inherently possessed at the time they enrolled. However, no study has been done before to explore the qualitative effect on empathy when introducing an aspect of humanities into their training. The objective of this study was to explore the qualitative effect on retaining or acquiring of skills in empathy when students partake in a training session of role-play. Process drama and empathy were studied and described from a theoretical point of view by reviewing both the internal (psychological) as well as external (aspects of process drama) mechanisms that enable these processes to occur. These formed the framework that constructed the context in which this study was situated. Methods The research was designed to take place in four phases. Phase 1 included the review of scholarship relating to empathy in healthcare and healthcare training. It also investigated how process drama may enable metaxis to take place, allowing for reflection following the oscillation between the two worlds of real life and the world of the role that was entered into. Phase two established levels of empathy among eight fifth-year medical students by making use of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JPSE) student version (S-version). This phase obtained themes extracted from student reflections on empathy in themselves, their peers and other Healthcare Practitioners (HCPs) regarding empathy. Phase three comprised a training session through introducing elements of applied drama, specifically role-play. The training was followed by a post-training exploration of empathy using the JPSE (S-version) as well as qualitative reflection. The reflection sheets were analysed qualitatively, while the JPSE (S-version) was analysed descriptively by making use of data transference. Phase 4 compared pre- and post-training data by using a mixed-method approach through a convergent parallel design. Findings Eight, fifth year medical students were engaged in a training session of role-play during which they were ascribed the opportunity to portray both the role of the HCP and the patient. The training session of role-play opened up the possibility of entering the sphere of metaxis where the participants found themselves in both the real as well as the fictional worlds at the same time. Following the training through role-play, qualitative findings showed that the participants felt more confident in themselves with regard to becoming the kind of HCPs they would like to be. They also felt less threatened and more capable to display empathy towards their patients. According to the post-training themes that were extracted, empathy had a positive qualitative effect by which patients trusted the participants more and shared more personal information, which allowed for improved diagnostic practice and adherence to treatment. The participants further stated that patients were also less likely of trying to take advantage of the students as had been the case before partaking in the training. The quantitative results showed an improvement in empathy in five and a decline in three of the eight participants. During the training session of role-play, participants became aware of where they lack in an empathetic engagement between themselves as HCPs and patient. This rendered them more critical concerning their levels of empathy and they scrutinised more when completing the JSPE (S-version) during the post-production phase of the research. The decline in empathy could thus partly be ascribed to a more acute awareness aÌ22́Ơ0́− or the lack thereof in the participants themselves - of what an empathetic connection between HCPs and patients entail. Conclusion Comparing both qualitative data and quantitative pre- and post-training scores through a mixed method convergent parallel design indicated the positive qualitative effect that partaking in role-play had on the training of empathy in medical students. This study suggests that using humanities in medical education may sensibly be investigated further.
Book Synopsis Finding Empathy by : Sarah Danielle Carol Harvey

Book excerpt: Existing research suggests that clinical empathy scores decline among medical students as they transition from pre-clinical to clinical studies. Scholars have attributed these declines to the gap between students' expectations of medical school and the reality of their experiences, socialization via the "informal" and "hidden" curriculums, and variable clinical empathy training. Little is known, however, about how students develop and understand empathy during pre-medical years and how emotional capital accrued during this time shapes emotional socialization in medical school and beyond. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 25 pre-medical students at a midwestern university, I find that pre-medical students: believe empathy is a crucial component of medical practice; strive to find a balance between emotional engagement and detached concern; and are divided about whether empathy is innate or learned. Applying a life stories (Jenkins et al. 2018) and emotion practice (Erickson and Stacey 2013; Cottingham and Erickson 2019) framework to these data, I argue that the emotional socialization of pre-medical students is a crucial period of socialization that informs how trainees learn about and enact empathy over time.

Book excerpt: Empathy is an essential skill for medical professionals to learn and build during training. Currently, this skill declines throughout training. Medical educators need to address this problem by creating evidence-based interventions for those in training and in practice. I used a theatre-based workshop intervention to catalyze provider skills in this area. The educational intervention included training 239 physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in one department in an academic center how to increase their empathic behaviors. This intervention produced statistically significant increases in empathic behaviors and provided a starting point for future programming. I conducted interviews and focus groups to determine how providers were connecting these concepts in their own practices. The complexities of such training are many and medical educators need to be thoughtful about conducting such emotionally rich educational sessions. Medical educators need to continue to look at the phenomena of empathy decline and study methods for reducing this decline. The humanities should continue to be a tool in this endeavor.

Book excerpt: As medical students undergo their clinical years, they exhibit a well-documented loss of idealism, increasingly negative attitudes towards poor and underserved patients, and less interest in working with these patients. Here we describe the pilot year of a longitudinal service-learning requirement implemented as a part of the medical student pre-clinical curriculum. We hypothesized that increased non-clinical contact would decrease the formation of negative attitudes towards underserved patients. Students completed service hours at assigned community sites each semester along with written reflections. Surveys were administered to track attitudes towards the underserved. Written reflections were analyzed qualitatively for thematic content as well as feedback on the experience. The requirement was largely acceptable to medical students, and many found value and enjoyment in the experience. The most common critique was that the required hours were insufficient to develop continuity, and that students desired more thorough briefing beforehand to increase their effectiveness. Students reported practicing clinical skills and communication skills. They identified social determinants of health and learned about their patients. They reflected on their professional identity, motivations for entering medicine, and specialty choices. Students experienced moments of connection and belonging, as well as feelings of guilt, otherness, and awareness of privilege. We continue to explore how working collaboratively and learning reciprocally with community members outside of the hospital and clinic may teach students cultural humility and help insulate students from cynicism and negative views of poor and medically underserved patients.

Book Synopsis Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care by : Mohammadreza Hojat
Download or read book Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care written by Mohammadreza Hojat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thorough revision, updating, and expansion of his great 2007 book, Empathy in Patient Care, Professor Hojat offers all of us in healthcare education an uplifting magnum opus that is sure to greatly enhance how we conceptualize, measure, and teach the central professional virtue of empathy. Hojat’s new Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care provides students and professionals across healthcare with the most scientifically rigorous, conceptually vivid, and comprehensive statement ever produced proving once and for all what we all know intuitively – empathy is healing both for those who receive it and for those who give it. This book is filled with great science, great philosophizing, and great ‘how to’ approaches to education. Every student and practitioner in healthcare today should read this and keep it by the bedside in a permanent place of honor. Stephen G Post, Ph.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine, and Founding Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics, School of Medicine, Stony Brook University Dr. Hojat has provided, in this new edition, a definitive resource for the evolving area of empathy research and education. For those engaged in medical student or resident education and especially for those dedicated to efforts to improve the patient experience, this book is a treasure trove of primary work in the field of empathy. Leonard H. Calabrese, D.O., Professor of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University The latest edition of Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care grounds the clinical art of empathic caring in the newly recognized contributions of brain imagery and social cognitive neuroscience. Furthermore, it updates the accumulating empirical evidence for the clinical effects of empathy that has been facilitated by the widespread use of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, a generative contribution to clinical research by this book’s author. In addition, the book is so coherently structured that each chapter contributes to an overall understanding of empathy, while also covering its subject so well that it could stand alone. This makes Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care an excellent choice for clinicians, students, educators and researchers. Herbert Adler, M.D., Ph.D. Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior,Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University It is my firm belief that empathy as defined and assessed by Dr. Hojat in his seminal book has far reaching implications for other areas of human interaction including business, management, government, economics, and international relations.
