| Abstract: | This updated book aims to provide expanded evidence supporting the notion that empathy is the heart of the art of patient care. To achieve that goal, this volume assembles the state of the art of current research and development on empathy in the context of health professions education and patient care.The original edition of the book: Empathy in Patient Care: Antecedents, Development, Measurement, and Outcomes was published by Springer in 2007. The second expanded and updated edition of the book was released in 2016 under a new title: Empathy in Health Professions Education and Patient Care.The third edition of this book updates and expands the content of the previous editions by incorporating a large volume of empirical, qualitative and review articles from national and international researchers, published after the release of the previous editions. A new chapter has also been added to this edition about a landmark nationwide project on clinical empathy in osteopathic medical students in the United States, its development, correlates, group differences, outcomes, and implications of findings for admissions and employment decisions. This book will help readers embark on a journey to the uncharted terrain of clinical empathy beginning with conceptualization and measurement of clinical empathy. It will proceed to empirical research findings from the authors own team and national/international researchers on correlates, group differences, erosion, enhancement, and educational and healthcare outcomes of empathic engagement in patient care. In a great majority of these studies (Appendix A of the book), the well-known instrument for measuring clinical empathy, the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (developed by the books author), was used. |
