The intervention group was conducted with empathy training in addition to routine clinical guidance, the control group was only conducted with routine clinical guidance. All subjects were assessed with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI-C) and Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) before and after intervention. Results Immediately after the intervention and 3 months after intervention, the scores of IRI-C in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group((57.53±5.20) vs(50.50±7.64), (55.28±6.48)vs(46.90±7.74), P<0.01). Samely, the scores of EIS in the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group((131.55±10.49)vs(124.35±9.93); (126.27±12.87)vs(119.38±9.45), P<0.01).
