Description
Jennifer Sandra and Daisy Gohain map story exposure to empathy in medical trainees, in work from 2026. Narrative medicine holds that stories train the feel for patient centred care. Empathy and bounce back strength link with sensing harm that care itself can cause.
An online survey reached one hundred twenty students and doctors across Tamil Nadu state. Five sections probed reading habits, story value views, empathy, and bounce back traits. Steady story engagement tied with higher self rated empathy and resilience scores. Links held across two correlation tests and a straight line model in the analysis. Class plans could treat stories as real parts of medical training here.
