Abstract:

Background/Aims:This study was carried out in cross-sectional and analytical type to
evaluate empathic tendency and communication skills in nursing and midwifery
students. Methods:

The sampling of the study consisted of 574 students. An information
form, the Communication Skills Assessment Scale, and the Empathic
Tendency Scale were used to collect the study data.

Results:The
mean score for empathic tendency was found to be 70.0±8.7, while it was
102.7±9.9 for Communication Skills Assessment Scale. The relationship between
the scores related to the two scales was determined to be positively significant
(p <0.05). The demographic variables (age, gender, marital status) were
observed to have no effect on the mean scores for empathic tendency and Communication
Skills Assessment Scale (p>0.05). No significant difference was found
between the scores obtained from the scales by the midwifery and nursing
students (p> 0.05). There was no significant difference between the mean Empathic
Tendency Scale scores and years of nursing students (p> 0.05). On the other
hand, the difference between the scale scores in both scales for students who
were satisfied, partly satisfied, and not satisfied with their profession was
significant (p <0.01).Conclusions: 

In conclusion, the empathic tendency and communication skill scores of
the students were found to be at a moderate level.
