A physician's empathy plays a crucial role in patient-centered care, and in modern medicine, patients, their caregivers, and society demand a high level of empathy from healthcare providers. The conceptualization of clinical empathy, which has emphasized cognitive empathy since the mid-20th century, has been widely accepted in medical schools and the healthcare industry without much critical ref lection. This study provides an overview of the ongoing debates on empathy versus sympathy and cognitive empathy versus affective empathy to clarify the concept of empathy. Based on recent research findings, clinical empathy is proposed to encompass three components: cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and empathic motivation. It is suggested that fully demonstrating these components requires empathic communication skills. Additionally, the cognitive characteristics of medical students and the features of the academic environment demonstrate the need for education to strengthen their empathy skills. Considering this, proposed intervention methods that medical schools can consider include utilizing tutoring programs and debriefing processes for team activities, which can facilitate problem-solving as a coping strategy for stress. Learning communities can create an environment where students can receive social support and recover from stress. Medical schools can contribute to the development of students' professional identities as practicing clinicians who embody empathy and respect by cultivating professors as positive role models. Additionally, utilizing scales to assess the empathic nature of doctor-patient communication or incorporating patients and caregivers as evaluators can actively improve empathic communication skills.

The purpose of this paper is to understand and express emotions and experiences from the perspective of others through empathy, which is crucial for maintaining social relationships. The smooth formation of interpersonal relationships through the physical activity of children with disabilities holds significant meaning. Children with disabilities often lack opportunities for interaction with their peers compared to typical children, and the absence of effective communication methods poses difficulties in forming relationships. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of a movement education program on enhancing empathy in children with disabilities. The program was implemented for 12 weeks from April to June 2023, involving five children with disabilities. The movement education program comprised 12 topics, encompassing physical, emotional, and cognitive domains. Empathy was measured in two areas: cognitive empathy and emotional empathy. The results indicated improvement in both cognitive and emotional empathy after the program compared to the pre-assessment. The rate of progress varied depending on the type and severity of the disability, but overall, positive changes in the development of empathy were observed. Through this research, it is hoped that movement programs can be practically utilized as a valuable resource.

이 글에서는 코로나19 대응 온라인 수업이 지식정보 교육 중심으로 이루어져 사회성 교육이 부족했음을 비판하고, 학생들의 공감 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 수업 방법을 모색하였다. 이별과 성장이라는 소재와 스토리를 지닌 영화 <500일의 섬머>를 중심으로 교수학습과정을 설계하였는데, 공감의 단계를 감정인지, 감정이입, 감정교류의 3단계로 구분하고 이를 중심으로 수업 모형을 구안하였다. 특히 정서적 공감에서 행위적 공감으로 이행하는 과정을 의사소통교육의 요체로 보아, 감정이입 단계와 감정교류(1,2차) 단계 사이에 표현 단계를 두어 5단계로 수업을 구안하였다. 이러한 수업은 학습자가 작품서사에 공감하고 자기서사를 반추하게 될 때 가능하므로 문학치료학을 활용하였으며, 학생들의 반응진술을 수집하여 이러한 수업 과정이 공감능력 향상에 유의미함을 증명하였다. 이 글에서는 영화 <500일의 섬머>를 대상으로 수업을 구안하였으나, 이러한 교수학습모형은 현대의 다른 영화 텍스트에도 얼마든지 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
