Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aims of this study are to assess the intra-personal processes of oncologists’ empathy during breaking bad news to patients with cancer and to examine the effect of improving emotional empathic response of oncologists by participating in a communication skills training (CST) program. As a result of assessing the electrodermal activity and pulse pressure wave of oncologists during standardized patients’ emotional expression in simulated consultations and the oncologists’ emotional and cognitive empathy by the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, the relationship between skin conductance level and the score of the personal distress factor was suggested. Furthermore, as a result of comparing oncologists’ emotional and cognitive empathy before and after CST participation, it was shown that their emotional and cognitive empathy improved after CST. This effect was suggested to be related to the years of clinical experience of oncologists.
