    Highlights Empathy not only allows for more humane care of patients, but also and partially determines the effectiveness and success of treatments. A psychometric study of empathy assessment instruments is always required before estimating empathy levels or empathy dimensions. Longer educational programs, such as medicine, may give students more time for clinical exposure, personal development, and emotional maturation. Curriculum and educational environment play an important role in developing empathy in health science students. Introduction: Empathy is an attribute that contributes to humane care of patients and increases the likelihood of successful treatment. Objectives: To measure the levels of empathy and its dimensions, and diagnose empathic behavior in medicine and nursing students. Materials and Methods: This was a non-experimental, cross-sectional study in which Colombian nursing and medicine students were evaluated using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE). A factor analysis, an analysis of invariance, and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used, and the data were compared to specific cut-off points for each program. Effect size and power of the tests were estimated for the comparisons performed. Results: The theoretical model for the construct ‘empathy’ fitted the observed data, and the invariance of the model between groups was confirmed. Differences were observed between nursing and medical students, as well as between sexes, with results favoring the women group. Discussion: The differences found between students could be partly due to the curricular differences of the programs and the students\u27 interests, whereas those related to sex may be due to characteristics observed in Latin American population. The identified empathy deficiencies allowed for the development of a diagnosis for nursing and medicine students. Conclusion:  Based on the findings, it is possible to diagnose the empathy levels of students of both programs by identifying the deficiencies observed in the dimensions of empathy.

Empathic Behavior in Nursing and Medicine Students. Revista Cuidarte. 2024;15(3):e4007.  https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.4007Highlights La empatía no solo permite una atención más humanizada al paciente, sino que determina, en parte, la eficacia y éxito de los tratamientos. Se requiere siempre del estudio psicométrico de los instrumentos de empatía previo a la estimación de sus niveles y/o dimensiones. Los programas más largos, como el de Medicina, pueden proporcionar más tiempo para la exposición clínica, el desarrollo personal y la maduración emocional de los estudiantes. El currículo y el ambiente educativo también juegan un papel importante en el desarrollo de la empatía en los estudiantes de ciencias de la salud. Introducción: La empatía es un atributo que contribuye a una atención humanizada de los pacientes y aumenta la probabilidad de éxito del tratamiento. Objetivos: Medir los niveles de empatía y sus dimensiones y diagnosticar el comportamiento empático de los estudiantes de medicina y enfermería. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio no experimental de corte transversal en el que se evaluó a estudiantes colombianos de enfermería y medicina mediante la Escala Jefferson de Empatía (EJE). Se utilizó un análisis factorial, un análisis de invarianza y un análisis de varianza (ANOVA) bifactorial, y los datos se compararon con puntos de corte específicos para cada uno de los programas. Se estimó el tamaño del efecto y la potencia de las pruebas de las comparaciones realizadas. Resultados:  El modelo teórico para el constructo “empatía” se ajusta con los datos observados y se confirmó la invariabilidad del modelo entre los grupos. Se observaron diferencias entre los estudiantes de enfermería y los de medicina, así como entre sexos, con resultados favorables en el grupo de mujeres. Discusión: Las diferencias encontradas entre estudiantes podrían deberse a las diferencias curriculares de los programas y a los intereses de los estudiantes, mientras que las relacionadas con el sexo podrían deberse a características observadas en la población latinoamericana. Las deficiencias de empatía detectadas permitieron dar un diagnóstico para los estudiantes de los programas de enfermería y medicina. Conclusiones: Con base en los hallazgos, es posible proporcionar un diagnóstico del nivel de empatía de los estudiantes de ambos programas identificando las deficiencias observadas en las dimensiones de la empatía.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
