Abstract：
OBJECTIVES:In health care, empathy is associated with compassion, thoughtfulness, attentiveness and caring. While empathy is perceived as desirable and positive, it can potentially be associated with negative aspects, such as secondary traumatic stress or vicarious trauma (VT). VT addresses the secondary vicarious influences of patients' pain and discomfort on clinicians. Dentists are routinely exposed to patients' anxiety, pain and discomfort. These may lead to VT, which in turn can affect empathy. The objectives of the present study were to examine the existence of VT among dentists and its association with their empathic approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Two-hundred and fifty dentists were approached personally and by mail, and asked to complete: (i) the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy - Health Professionals; (ii) the Vicarious Trauma Scale; and (iii) demographic, personal and professional data, including age, definition of professional speciality, number of working hours per week and number of sleeping hours per night. RESULTS:A total of 200 dentists responded (80% response rate). No differences were found between genders regarding empathy or VT. Dentists who have been accredited as a specialist in one of the dental fields (dental specialists) presented higher empathy scores than general practitioners. VT correlated positively with number of working hours per week and negatively with empathy. The best predictor of empathy was number of sleeping hours per night, followed by VT and age. CONCLUSIONS:Empathy in the clinical setting is closely associated with secondary VT among dentists. Decreasing dentists' VT may benefit dentists' empathy and through this lead to better clinical outcomes.
