Hello,

I don't know whether it would be worth contacting these ResearchGate members, who are from the Thomas Jefferson University and the Thomas Jefferson University

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/33684272

They might be able to het you know if you definitely do have to purchase it.

http://www.jefferson.edu/university/skmc/research/research-medical-education/jefferson-scale-of-empathy.html

There may be something relevant in this thesis:

Alnoman, N. N. H. (2014). A study of the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure for medical students (Doctoral dissertation, University of Dundee).

Article Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy

yes the Reynolds empathy scale

I had not heard of the above, so I looked it up. I found this of interest:

Barker, P. J. (2004). Assessment in psychiatric and mental health nursing: in search of the whole person. Nelson Thornes.

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-vu6OFw8ankC&pg=PA348&lpg=PA348&dq=copy+of+Reynolds+empathy+scale&source=bl&ots=WMDMN0NF95&sig=e9N1Vo5Q1jblLh6f4crAj3EH5ME&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXqv7qpovUAhVIAcAKHa49A1QQ6AEINTAD#v=onepage&q=copy%20of%20Reynolds%20empathy%20scale&f=false

See p.345 and onwards (The Reynolds Empathy Scale). There is an email address for Dr Reynolds at the end (note 1) but if this was written in 2004, and is not now current:

Dr William Reynolds, Reader in Nursing, Turku Polytechnic, Yhaistentie 2, 24130 Salo, Finland. Email [email protected]

The polytechnic is now a university, but searching, I could not find anything about Dr Reynolds.

Looking up about his publishing history, it looks as if most of it was prior to 2004.

However, I think he might be mentioned in this 2012 article, although I have been unable to access the full text:

I don't know if I've been much more help.

Very best wishes,

Hello

I just these... If you like I like to be part of your work.

Hope success

M,Abdi

Thank you very much Dr Wilson, Prof Lauder and Mojtaba. All of you have been a great help!

When I try to go through the application for Jefferson scale on the website, it says that it needs to be purchased. So I tried to search for Reynold's scale and found that the items are quite unique as it is derived from the patients perspective. Will try to email Dr Reynold as per email given by Dr Wilson:) The thesis by Scotts has also enlightened me that there are at least 8 scales available.

Thank you everyone!

Is Jefferson empathy scale is available free in public domain?Can I get information on scale and questionnaire for measuring empathy in medical students?

Good Answer Mary C R Wilson
