Abstract

Objectives This study investigates the effects of Self-acception, Other-acception, and stress-coping Styles on empathic abilities among nursing students.
 Methods Data collection was conducted on 185 nursing college students from July 15 to July 30, 2022, at D city and the responses to the questionnaire were analyzed by descriptive analysis, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis.
 Results As results of this study, Self-acception scored 3.29 out of 5, Other-acception 3.07 out of 5, stress-coping styles 2.69 out of 4, and empathy 5.07 out of 7. Empathy was significantly higher when aptitude and hobbies in nursing and satisfaction were also higher. Nursing students' score on empathy was correlated with stress-coping styles(r=.262, p<.001), and aptitude and hobbies in nursing (β=.206, p<.05) and stress coping styles (β=.209, p<.01) were correlated with empathy with explanatory power of 16.6% (F=5.022, p<.001). In other words, the results show that the higher the stress-coping styles, the higher the empathic ability.
 Conclusions Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that management measures such as the development and application of programs to improve the empathy ability of nursing students are needed.
