Introduction: Burnout has become a significant issue in dentistry in recent years, affecting both qualified dentists and dental students. By identifying and managing the key sources of burnout for dental students early on, this can help to reduce levels of burnout later in their careers.

Materials and methods: Eighty-four dental students from the University of Birmingham completed a questionnaire derived from the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess the levels of burnout amongst these students. This survey also extracted information regarding the students' main sources of burnout and suggestions to prevent burnout in future cohorts.

Results: 28.5% of the surveyed students were classed as 'burnt out' according to the findings of the questionnaire, with the key sources of burnout including exams, clinical requirements and patient admin. Suggestions for reducing burnout included spreading heavy workloads out evenly through the year and offering more support and advice to students on how they can prevent burnout.

Discussion: Although some of the sources of burnout for dental students are not completely avoidable, such as exams and clinical work, smaller changes can definitely be made to improve student experience and reduce burnout levels. The School of Dentistry has already started to succeed in taking action to reduce burnout by acting on suggestions from students, such as increasing study spaces in the Dental Hospital and introducing morning yoga classes.

Conclusion: Further steps should still be taken to reduce burnout amongst dental students; research should also be carried out to investigate the effects of these interventions on burnout levels.

简介:近年来,职业倦怠已经成为牙科领域的一个重要问题,影响着合格的牙医和牙科学生。通过及早识别和管理牙科学生职业倦怠的主要来源,这有助于降低他们职业生涯后期的职业倦怠水平。材料和方法:84名来自伯明翰大学的牙科专业学生完成了一份来自马斯拉克职业倦怠量表的调查问卷,以评估这些学生的职业倦怠水平。本调查还提取了学生倦怠的主要来源,并提出了在未来的队列中预防倦怠的建议。结果:28.5%的受访学生根据问卷调查结果被归类为“倦怠”,倦怠的主要来源包括考试、临床要求和患者管理。减少倦怠的建议包括在一年中平均分配繁重的工作量,并就如何防止倦怠向学生提供更多支持和建议。讨论:虽然牙科学生的一些倦怠来源不是完全可以避免的,比如考试和临床工作,但肯定可以做出一些小的改变来改善学生的体验,减少倦怠水平。牙科学院已经开始成功地采取行动,根据学生的建议减少倦怠,比如增加牙科医院的学习空间,引入早晨的瑜伽课程。结论:应采取进一步措施减少牙科学生的职业倦怠;还应开展研究,调查这些干预措施对倦怠水平的影响。

Introduction: Dental students develop fine motor skills that include a complex interplay of finger dexterity, posture and progressive visual-tactile improvement through spatial awareness and cognition facilitated through university simulation training. Identifying students with a natural aptitude for these skills is vital to make the most of available resources. This study examines the relationship between pre-existing hobbies and fine motor skills before and after a five-week training module.

Materials and methods: Seventy-two first-year students at an Australian University completed a questionnaire that measured their personal interests. Students' performance on a foundational cavity preparation task was assessed before and after five weeks of simulation clinic training on plastic typodont teeth. In-class assessment tasks aimed to evaluate innate and acquired skills. The relationships between personal interests and cavity preparation skills, before and after the simulation training, were explored.

Results: The three hobbies with the highest mean cavity preparation percentage at baseline were playing music (51.7%; 95% CI: 41.5, 61.9), cooking (50.3%; 95% CI: 45.1, 55.5) and participating in sports (48.4%; 95% CI: 42.9, 53.8). Estimated mean improvement in cavity preparation was highest for participants that had cooking as the only hobby (19.2%; 95% CI: 14.4, 24.1). Participants with four hobbies had the lowest mean improvement in cavity preparation, with 11.3 (95% CI: 5.1, 17.5) percentage units. Participants with zero hobbies improved by 11.7 (95% CI: 7.7, 15.7) percentage units.

Conclusion: Cooking at least once a week has a better impact on the mean improvement in scores after formal university simulation training than other hobbies. Students without any identified hobbies might benefit from task-specific training for fine motor skills improvement.

简介:牙科学生通过大学模拟训练,通过空间意识和认知的促进,发展精细运动技能,包括手指灵巧,姿势和渐进的视觉触觉改善的复杂相互作用。识别具有这些技能天赋的学生对于充分利用现有资源至关重要。本研究考察了在为期五周的训练模块前后,已有爱好与精细运动技能之间的关系。材料和方法:澳大利亚一所大学的72名一年级学生完成了一份调查问卷,以衡量他们的个人兴趣。在为期五周的塑料排印牙模拟临床训练之前和之后,评估学生在基础空腔准备任务中的表现。课堂评估任务旨在评估先天和后天技能。探讨了模拟训练前后个人兴趣与造腔技能之间的关系。结果:基线时平均空腔准备率最高的3项业余爱好为音乐(51.7%);95% CI: 41.5, 61.9),烹饪(50.3%;95% CI: 45.1, 55.5)和参加体育运动(48.4%;95% ci: 42.9, 53.8)。以烹饪为唯一爱好的参与者在蛀牙准备方面的平均改善估计最高(19.2%;95% ci: 14.4, 24.1)。有四种爱好的参与者在龋齿准备方面的平均改善最低,为11.3 (95% CI: 5.1, 17.5)个百分比单位。没有业余爱好的参与者提高了11.7个百分点(95% CI: 7.7, 15.7)。结论:每周至少一次烹饪对正规大学模拟训练后平均成绩提高的影响优于其他爱好。没有任何明确爱好的学生可能会从特定任务的精细运动技能提高训练中受益。

Background: Effective communication in dentistry is crucial for patient understanding and promoting health. Undergraduate dental education provides a critical opportunity to instil these skills.

Objectives: To describe the self-perceptions of undergraduate dental students at Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) regarding their communication skills and evaluate communication training across the current undergraduate programme.

Methods: A structured multilingual online questionnaire was designed and distributed to undergraduate dental students during 2023. It collected demographic data (age, nationality, program year) and assessed global self-perceived communication competency (scored from 1 to 5), use of good communication practices (range of 0-28), perceived course impact on communication development, and adequacy and implementation of enabling methodologies. Communication development was evaluated across the curriculum.

Results: Of 480 students, 137 (28.5%) participated in the survey (22-25 years old, 75.9% female). Communication competency was predominantly self-perceived as 'very good' (38.7%). Mean score of good communication practices was 23.6 (SD 3.3), showing significant differences by age (p = 0.02) and program year (p = 0.02). Interacting with patients and clinical cases was the primary methodologies preferred for developing communication skills. Integrating specific relational competencies defined by the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) throughout the curriculum was recommended.

Conclusions: Students reported high self-perception of their communication skills and consistent use of good communication practices in most clinical situations. Practical, patient-focused methodologies were preferred for skill acquisition by students. Specific ADEE relational competencies should be included in the curriculum to strengthen the communication skills of dental students.

背景:有效的牙科沟通对患者理解和促进健康至关重要。本科牙科教育提供了灌输这些技能的重要机会。目的:描述加泰罗尼亚国际大学(西班牙巴塞罗那)牙科本科学生对沟通技巧的自我认知,并评估当前本科课程的沟通培训。方法:设计一份结构化的多语种在线调查问卷,并在2023年向牙科本科学生发放。它收集了人口统计数据(年龄、国籍、项目年份),并评估了全球自我感知的沟通能力(得分从1到5)、良好沟通实践的使用(范围从0到28)、感知到的课程对沟通发展的影响,以及支持方法的充分性和实施。沟通发展在整个课程中进行评估。结果:480名学生中有137人(28.5%)参与调查,其中22-25岁的学生占75.9%,女性占75.9%。沟通能力主要是自我感觉“非常好”(38.7%)。良好沟通习惯的平均得分为23.6分(SD 3.3),不同年龄(p = 0.02)和项目年限(p = 0.02)差异有统计学意义。与患者和临床病例互动是培养沟通技巧的首选方法。建议在整个课程中整合由欧洲牙科教育协会(ADEE)定义的特定关系能力。结论:在大多数临床情况下,学生对自己的沟通技巧和良好的沟通实践有较高的自我认知。实用的、以病人为中心的方法是学生获得技能的首选方法。具体的ADEE关系能力应包括在课程中,以加强牙科学生的沟通技巧。

Introduction: This prospective cohort study evaluated dental students' confidence and competency in root canal treatment across their dental programme, encompassing the transition from preclinical laboratory to clinical patient care.

Material and methods: A cohort of 23 dental students was assessed during four phases of the DDS program over three academic semesters (18-month calendar year). Data collection occurred at the following stages: upon completion of the preclinical endodontic laboratory course (P1); at the conclusion of the Comprehensive Clinical Care I course, where students performed single-rooted canal treatments on patients (P2); after training with plastic/artificial multi-rooted teeth (P3); and upon completion of the Comprehensive Clinical Care II course, where students performed multi-rooted canal treatments on patients (P4). Self-reported confidence levels were measured using Likert scales, while root canal treatment competency was evaluated based on final radiographic outcomes. Focus group discussions explored students' perceptions of self-confidence and competence across the four phases and during the transition from preclinical to clinical practice. Quantitative data were analysed using statistical methods, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis.

Results and discussion: Confidence levels increased from P1 to P2, reaching a peak at P3 and P4. Participants demonstrated higher technical competency in root canal obturations during patient care than in laboratory work. Key themes were expectations/feelings and technique, with pulp chamber access opening identified as the most challenging procedure. The transition to clinical care induced fear, anxiety, and insecurity initially, but participants reported reduced anxiety and improved technical performance when working with patients.

Conclusion: Dental students exhibited enhanced competence and confidence in endodontic treatments when performed in the clinical setting, reflecting positive progression across the evaluated requirements.

简介:这项前瞻性队列研究评估了牙科学生在整个牙科课程中对根管治疗的信心和能力,包括从临床前实验室到临床患者护理的过渡。材料和方法:在三个学期(18个月日历年)的DDS计划的四个阶段对23名牙科学生进行了评估。数据收集在以下阶段进行:完成临床前牙髓实验课程(P1);在综合临床护理I课程结束时,学生对患者进行单根管治疗(P2);训练后使用塑料/人工多根牙(P3);完成综合临床护理II课程后,学生对患者进行多根管治疗(P4)。采用李克特量表测量自我报告的信心水平,而根管治疗能力则根据最终放射学结果进行评估。焦点小组讨论探讨了学生在四个阶段以及从临床前到临床实践过渡期间对自信和能力的看法。定量数据采用统计方法进行分析,而定性数据则通过专题分析进行检验。结果与讨论:信心水平从P1上升到P2,在P3和P4达到顶峰。参与者在患者护理期间表现出比在实验室工作中更高的根管封闭技术能力。关键主题是期望/感觉和技术,髓腔通道打开被认为是最具挑战性的程序。向临床护理的过渡最初引起了恐惧、焦虑和不安全感,但参与者报告说,在与患者一起工作时,焦虑减少了,技术表现也得到了提高。结论:牙科学生在临床环境中表现出增强的根管治疗能力和信心,反映了评估要求的积极进展。

Introduction: This study evaluated and compared the technical quality of treatments performed during the preclinical training using artificial and natural teeth and the students' perceptions regarding their learning process with the 2 groups.

Materials and methods: The study assessed the teeth used for preclinical training by 2nd-year students at São Leopoldo Mandic School of Dentistry. The natural teeth group (NTG) included the teeth used by the class of 2021, and the artificial teeth group (ATG) assessed the artificial teeth (LikeReal, Porto Alegre, Brazil) used by the class of 2022. The teeth were visually and radiographically observed, and the errors were divided according to the location in the crown or in the root. Errors in the crown included perforation, damage to the marginal ridge, fracture, and remnants of gutta-percha. Errors in the roots included overfilling, obturation at the apex, obturation > 2 mm short of the apex, voids, instrument separation, ledge, and root fracture. The students' perceptions were assessed by a questionnaire with 10 questions involving ethical, biohazard, technical challenges, and fairness of the evaluation. The chi-squared test was used for differences at p < 0.05.

Results: 408 teeth were assessed, 204 in each group. In the NTG, remaining gutta-percha, 36 (17.64%); voids, 53 (25.98%); and root filling at the apex, 48 (23.52%), were the most common errors. In the ATG, remaining gutta-percha, 45 (22.05%); voids; and filling > 2 mm short, 65 (31.86%) were the most common errors. In the ATG, the occurrence of damage to the marginal ridge and filling > 2 mm short of the apex was less frequent than in the NTG; ledges and root fractures were more frequent in the ATG (p < 0.05). Regarding students' perception, NTG was superior in access and instrumentation; both groups thought that training with natural teeth was better. The students in the ATG were more concerned with the ethical and biohazard aspects.

Conclusions: The technical quality of the treatments was similar in both groups; however, artificial teeth were more prone to fracture, indicating that improvements are necessary for the material. The students' perception was that natural teeth are more appropriate for their training.

前言:本研究评估并比较了两组学生在临床前训练中使用假牙和天然牙进行治疗的技术质量以及对学习过程的感知。材料和方法:本研究评估了 o Leopoldo Mandic牙科学院二年级学生用于临床前培训的牙齿。天然牙组(NTG)包括2021级学生使用的牙齿,假牙组(ATG)评估2022级学生使用的假牙(巴西阿雷格里港的LikeReal)。对牙齿进行视觉和x线观察,并根据牙冠或牙根的位置划分误差。冠的错误包括穿孔、边缘脊损伤、骨折和杜仲胶残留。根的错误包括过充填、根尖闭合、根尖闭合小于2 mm、空腔、器械分离、凸起和根断裂。学生们的看法是通过一份包含10个问题的问卷来评估的,这些问题涉及伦理、生物危害、技术挑战和评估的公平性。结果:共评估牙齿408颗,每组204颗。NTG中剩余杜仲胶36份(17.64%);无效53例(25.98%);最常见的错误是尖根充填48例(23.52%)。在ATG中,剩余杜仲胶45 (22.05%);空洞;最常见的错误为充填>.2 mm, 65例(31.86%)。与NTG相比,ATG中边缘脊损伤和距顶端2 mm的填充>的发生频率较低;结论:两组治疗的技术质量相似;然而,假牙更容易断裂,表明材料的改进是必要的。学生们认为天然牙更适合他们的训练。

Objective: The spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds can lead to an unpredictable range of social interactions between patients and prospective dentists. Tolerance is essential for patient relationships and conflict resolution, making it a topic of significant scientific and practical importance. This study aimed to explore the tolerance levels of dental students at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) towards their patients in relation to the students' associated circumstances.

Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the tolerance level of dental interns and senior dental students of KAU towards their patients. The Likert scale was used in the questionnaire with bi-directional questions with points allocated. The questionnaire assessed demographic data and lifestyle patterns of the participant as well as the participant's tolerance towards various clinical scenarios involving patients of different nationalities and behaviours.

Results: In this study, 193 participants out of 254 completed the questionnaire, for a response rate of 75.98%. The dental interns reported more tolerance than 6th-year dental students, and students with a grade point average score of 'B' were found to be more tolerant than those with other scores. Male and female students were more tolerant of different parameters. Diet and sleep could not be directly correlated to tolerance. Married students and students living with family exhibited higher tolerance than single students and those living alone.

Conclusion: This study established a variety of factors that can influence tolerance levels. It would be informative to conduct future investigations with a broader range of patients and analyse the relationship between tolerance and other emotional parameters.

目的:社会经济背景的光谱可能导致患者和未来牙医之间不可预测的社会互动范围。宽容对于患者关系和解决冲突至关重要,使其成为具有重要科学和实践意义的主题。本研究旨在探讨阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学(KAU)牙科学生对患者的容忍度与学生相关情况的关系。方法:采用自行填写的问卷调查法,对医院牙科实习生和牙科高年级学生对患者的容忍度进行评估。问卷采用李克特量表进行双向题分。问卷评估了参与者的人口统计数据和生活方式,以及参与者对不同国籍和不同行为的患者的各种临床情景的耐受性。结果:本次研究中,254名参与者中有193人完成了问卷,回复率为75.98%。据报道,牙科实习生比六年级的牙科学生更宽容,平均成绩为“B”的学生比其他分数的学生更宽容。男女学生对不同参数的容忍度更高。饮食和睡眠与耐受性没有直接关系。已婚学生和与家人一起生活的学生比单身学生和独居学生表现出更高的容忍度。结论:本研究确定了影响耐受性水平的多种因素。这将有助于今后在更大范围的患者中开展调查,并分析耐受性与其他情绪参数之间的关系。

Introduction: The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is a standardised method for recording caries severity. Effective training in ICDAS is essential for dental faculty and students. This pilot study aimed to compare the effectiveness of photographic images versus extracted teeth in ICDAS training and to assess whether restorative and nonrestorative dental faculty achieve similar accuracy in ICDAS coding.

Methods: Following comprehensive ICDAS training, dental faculty participated in a rotation through diagnostic stations, where they assigned ICDAS codes to tooth surfaces. The specimens consisted of either extracted adult teeth or their corresponding photographic images, each was preassigned a gold standard ICDAS code. Faculty members were categorised as belonging to either restorative or nonrestorative disciplines. After each rotation, individual performance was assessed by calculating linearly weighted Kappa (kw) values comparing each participant's coding to the gold standard. Data were analysed using nonpaired, nonparametric, statistical methods. The study was completed over two end-of-training sessions, one of which included a repeat circuit of stations following a 1 h rest period.

Results: With kw scores as measures of ability, dental faculty coded more accurately with extracted teeth carious surfaces than with photographic images (p = 0.0005). When grouped by specialities, there were nearly identical median kw scores (p = 0.482), with extracted teeth suggesting that dental faculty of all types of speciality can use ICDAS effectively.

Conclusions: Extracted teeth appear to have value in training ICDAS as well as photographic images. Dental faculty of all types of specialities can use ICDAS effectively after similar amounts of training.

Clinical relevance: This study contributes to the refinement of training strategies for the ICDAS caries detection system, an important component of the dental curriculum and a system which is widely recognised as facilitating effective early reversal of dental caries lesions. Specifically, in this pilot study, the use of extracted teeth as teaching tools appeared to offer additional diagnostic value compared to photographic images, possibly by improving the correct identification of ICDAS codes for early lesions. Also, the study demonstrates that dentists from both restorative and nonrestorative disciplines should be able to successfully adopt, apply and teach ICDAS coding, thereby promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and fostering uniformity in caries management practices.

简介:国际龋齿检测和评估系统(ICDAS)是一种记录龋齿严重程度的标准化方法。对牙科教师和学生进行有效的ICDAS培训是必不可少的。本初步研究旨在比较照片图像与拔牙在ICDAS训练中的有效性,并评估修复性和非修复性牙科教师在ICDAS编码中是否达到相似的准确性。方法:经过全面的ICDAS培训,牙科教师通过诊断站参加轮转,在那里他们将ICDAS代码分配到牙齿表面。标本由拔出的成年牙齿或其相应的摄影图像组成,每个标本都预先分配了一个金标准ICDAS代码。教职员工被分为恢复性学科和非恢复性学科。每次轮换后,通过将每个参与者的编码与黄金标准进行比较,计算线性加权Kappa (kw)值来评估个人表现。数据分析采用非配对、非参数、统计方法。这项研究是在两次训练结束后完成的,其中一次包括在休息1小时后的重复循环。结果:以kw评分作为能力的衡量标准,牙科教师用拔牙的龋齿表面编码比用摄影图像编码更准确(p = 0.0005)。当按专业分组时,几乎相同的中位数kw评分(p = 0.482),拔牙表明所有类型专业的牙科教师都可以有效地使用ICDAS。结论:拔牙在ICDAS训练和摄影图像中具有一定的应用价值。所有类型专业的牙科教师经过类似的培训后都可以有效地使用ICDAS。临床意义:本研究有助于完善ICDAS龋齿检测系统的培训策略,该系统是牙科课程的重要组成部分,被广泛认为有助于有效地早期逆转龋齿病变。具体来说,在这项初步研究中,与摄影图像相比,使用拔牙作为教学工具似乎提供了额外的诊断价值,可能是通过提高对早期病变的ICDAS代码的正确识别。此外,该研究表明,来自修复和非修复学科的牙医应该能够成功地采用、应用和教授ICDAS编码,从而促进跨学科合作,促进龋齿管理实践的统一性。

Aim: To assess whether the use of centring rings for intraoral radiographic imaging reduces the number of retakes or the frequency and size of cone cuts in intraoral images performed by dental students.

Material and methods: Seventy-three dental students were randomly allocated to either a test or control group before training intraoral imaging on a phantom. Both groups used phosphor plate holders for periapical imaging of anterior and posterior teeth and for bitewings. Additionally, the test group used dedicated centring rings mounted to the holder (Kerr, Hawe, USA). After phantom training, the students performed intraoral imaging in 127 patients. Before patient examination, the number of planned periapical images and bitewings was recorded. After patient examination, the percentage of retakes was calculated in addition to the frequency and size of cone cuts. Differences between the two groups were tested with the Mann-Whitney U test (percentage of retakes and size of cone cuts) and chi-squared test (frequency of cone cuts).

Results: The test group performed 920 intraoral images and the control 835. The percentage of bitewing retakes was significantly lower in the test group (p = 0.014), whereas there was no difference in periapical retakes (p = 0.37) between the groups. The frequency of cone cuts was significantly lower in the test group for both periapical images and bitewings (p < 0.001). The size of cone cuts was lower in the test group, although this was not significant (p > 0.20).

Conclusion: In general, it seems beneficial to use centring rings for dental students when learning to perform intraoral imaging since the percentage of retakes as well as the frequency and size of cone cuts were reduced.

目的:评估在口腔内放射成像中使用定心环是否减少了重拍次数或减少了牙科学生在口腔内成像中出现锥体切口的频率和大小。材料和方法:73名牙科学生被随机分配到试验组和对照组,然后在假体上进行口腔内成像训练。两组均使用磷光片支架对前、后牙和咬翼进行根尖周围显像。此外,试验组使用安装在支架上的专用定心环(Kerr, Hawe, USA)。幻影训练后,学生们对127名患者进行了口腔内成像。检查前记录患者计划的根尖周图像和咬翼次数。患者检查后,除锥体切割的频率和大小外,还计算再取的百分比。两组之间的差异采用Mann-Whitney U检验(复试百分比和锥体割伤大小)和卡方检验(锥体割伤频率)进行检验。结果:试验组口腔内显像920次,对照组835次。实验组的咬翼复吸率显著低于对照组(p = 0.014),而两组间根尖周复吸率无显著差异(p = 0.37)。在根尖周图像和咬翼上,试验组的锥体切割频率显著降低(p 0.20)。结论:总体而言,牙科学生在学习进行口腔内成像时使用定心环似乎是有益的,因为重拾的百分比以及锥体切割的频率和大小都减少了。

Introduction: Empathy is an attribute that allows an intersubjective connection between dental students and their patients, which benefits both. Empathy can be affected by stress, depression and distress, which can have consequences for empathic capacity. One factor attributed to the ability to inhibit this negative influence is resilience.

Objective: To determine the predictive capacity of resilience on empathy.

Materials and methods: A total of 3893 dental students from five Latin American countries participated. Resilience and empathy scales were applied. Univariate descriptive measures were estimated for both scales. Full psychometric analysis was performed, including Confirmatory Factor Analysis, reliability, measurement invariance and Structural Equation Modelling to determine the predictive capacity of resilience on empathy and cut-off points for both attributes.

Results: The theoretical model was supported in both scales. Invariance was observed between groups (sex). Resilience was found to have predictive capacity for empathy. Ecological resilience positively predicted all three dimensions of empathy; likewise, engineering resilience negatively predicted the 'compassionate care' and 'walking in the patient's shoes' dimensions and adaptive resilience negatively predicted all three dimensions of empathy.

Conclusions: Resilience has predictive capacity for empathy.

简介:移情是一种属性,它允许牙科学生和他们的病人之间的主体间联系,这对双方都有利。同理心会受到压力、抑郁和痛苦的影响,这些都会对同理心能力产生影响。抑制这种负面影响的能力的一个因素是适应力。目的:探讨心理弹性对共情的预测能力。材料与方法:共有来自拉丁美洲5个国家的3893名牙科学生参与。采用弹性和同理心量表。对两个量表进行单变量描述性测量。进行了全面的心理测量分析,包括验证性因子分析、信度、测量不变性和结构方程模型,以确定弹性对共情的预测能力和这两个属性的截止点。结果:理论模型在两个量表中均得到支持。各组(性别)间无差异。韧性被发现具有预测同理心的能力。生态弹性正向预测共情的三个维度;同样,工程弹性负向预测“同情护理”和“站在病人的立场上”维度,适应性弹性负向预测移情的所有三个维度。结论:韧性对共情具有预测能力。
