Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify what types of potential groups exist according to the empathy of medical students and to explore the differences between psychological factors such as academic burnout, quality of life, and self-esteem by group and the variables that affect empathy. Methods To achieve the purpose of the study, quantitative data on empathy, academic burnout, quality of life, and self-esteem were collected from 2nd year students of pre-medical students in area C. For the analysis, basic statistical analyses such as model-based latent group analysis, analysis of variance, T-test, and regression analysis were used. Results As a result of the study, there were 4 latent groups of students according to empathy and statistically significant differences were confirmed in psychological factors according to empathy. Also, a significant difference was found in psychological factors between the group with high empathy and the group with low empathy. It was confirmed that various psychological factors were influencing the empathy of children. Conclusions Therefore, when planning empathy education for medical students in the future, it is necessary to check the level of empathy of each student and to accurately identify the psychological factors related to this. Also, if customized teaching is made based on this, the effect of empathy education can be further improved.
