Abstract
Abstract Researchers sought to identify whether a relationship exists between empathy levels in baccalaureate health-care-professions students who have and have not identified a projected professional specialty upon entry into practice. A convenience sample of students with declared majors in health-care professions (N = 202) completed a 28-item questionnaire. Empathy in nursing students with a projected specialty was significantly higher than in students in other health-care majors with projected specialties. Gender and age significantly influenced empathy in all students who had a projected specialty. The findings expand our current understanding of empathy and what may influence empathy levels in students planning to enter health care.
