Abstract
The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effects of viewing the feature film Wit on the empathy ratings of nursing students. The Jefferson Scale of empathy (JSE) was used to measure nursing students’ empathy levels. Findings suggest a statistically significant increase in empathy scores in the experimental group from pre-test to post-test #1 (t = 2.60; p = 0.0133) and also from pre-test to post-test #2 (t = 2.10; p = 0.0424). In this study, the experience of viewing the film, as opposed to classroom teaching alone, enhanced student empathy ratings.
