Publication: Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde Görevli Asistan Hekimlerin Genel Empati ve Hekimlik Empati Becerisinin Karşılaştırılması
Abstract
AMAÇ: Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi klinik branşlarda eğitim alan asistan hekimlerin genel empati ve klinik empati becerilerinin karşılaştırılması ve empati düzeylerini etkileyen faktörlerin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Kesitsel tipte planlanan bu çalışmanın evrenini Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi klinik branşlarda eğitim alan asistan hekimler oluşturmuştur. Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 280 asistan hekime online anket uygulanmıştır. Verilerin istatiksel analizinde, sürekli değişkenlerin normallik analizleri Kolmogorov-Smirnov Testi ile, normal dağılıma uymayan verilerin iki grup arasındaki karşılaştırmaları için Mann Whitney U Testi, üç grup ve üzerindeki karşılaştırmaları için Kruskal Wallis Testi ile yapılmıştır. Kategorik verilerin karşılaştırmasında Ki-Kare Testi, ölçekler arası doğrusal ilişki Spearman Korelasyon Testi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Analizler SPSS versiyon 22.0 ile yapılmış, istatiksel olarak anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. BULGULAR: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 29,03±3,04 idi, %53,9 kadın, %55,4'ü evliydi. Araştırmaya katılan asistan 225'i dahili, 55'i cerrahi uzmanlık alanlarında çalışıyordu. Katılımcıların ortalama Toronto Empati Ölçeği (TEÖ) puanı 52,71±6,06, Jefferson Hekim Empati Ölçeği (JSPE-HP) puanı ortalaması 74,7±11,6 idi. Dahili alanlarda eğitim alan, haftada 40 saat ve altında çalışan, asistanlığı süresince hasta yakınları tarafından şikâyet edildiğini belirten kadın hekimlerin TEÖ puanları anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0,05). Dahili branşlarda, haftalık 40 saat ve altında çalışan ve çalışma ortamından memnun olan evli kadın hekimlerin JSPE-HP puanları diğer meslektaşlarına göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti. TEÖ puanları ile JSPE-HP puanları arasında doğru yönlü, zayıf-orta kuvvette (r=0,369) ve istatiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon mevcuttu (p=0,01). SONUÇ: Dahili branşlarda eğitim alan kadın asistanların hem genel empati hem de klinik empati düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Empati, TEÖ, JSPE-HP, asistan hekimler
AIM: It was aimed to compare the general empathy and clinical empathy skills of resident physicians studying in clinical branches of Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine and to reveal the factors affecting their empathy levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The universe of this study, which was planned in a cross-sectional type, consisted of assistant physicians studying in clinical branches of Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine. An online questionnaire was applied to 280 assistant physicians who accepted to participate in the study. In the statistical analysis of the data, normality analyzes of continuous variables were performed with Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, Mann Whitney U Test for comparisons of data that did not conform to normal distribution between two groups, and Kruskal Wallis Test for comparisons of three groups and above. Chi-Square Test was used for comparison of categorical data and the linear relationship between scales was used by Spearman's Correlation Test. Analyzes were made with SPSS version 22.0, and the statistical significance level was accepted as p <0.05. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 29.03 ± 3.04, 53.9% were women, 55.4% were married. Participants' mean the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) score was 52.71 ± 6.06, and the Jefferson Physician Empathy Scale (JSPE-HP) score was 74.7 ± 11.6. Female physicians who received training in internal fields, worked 40 hours or less a week, and stated that they were complained by the relatives of the patients during their assistantship, had significantly higher TEQ scores (p <0.05). The JSPE-HP scores of married female physicians who worked 40 hours or less per week in internal branches and were satisfied with the work environment were significantly higher than their colleagues. There was a direct, weak-medium strength (r = 0.369) and statistically significant correlation between TEQ and JSPE-HP scores (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Both general empathy and clinical empathy levels of female assistant physicians who were trained in internal branches were found to be high. Keywords: Empathy, TEQ, JSPE-HP, assistant physicians
