| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Empathy is essential in the health care context as it affects diagnosis, care, adherence, and treatment effectiveness. In addition to influencing the doctor-patient relationship, it impacts the quality of life of professionals, as does stress. There are studies on the link between empathy and stress, and some conclude that stress decreases empathic disposition. Others propose that burnout is associated with empathic hypertrophy. From this, the question arises to know the way in which empathy and stress are related in the university population. To this end, a correlational study was carried out on 651 students from the National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina). Among the findings, a positive association between the level of perceived stress and emotional empathy stands out.</p> |
