Description
Dilek Hacıvelioğlu and colleagues surveyed 724 midwifery students across Turkey about empathy and attitudes toward migrants. Students answered an empathy tendency scale and a xenophobia scale in an online survey, along with questions about their background and training. The team looked for background factors tied to each attitude and for any link between the two.
Empathy scores varied with the university attended, citizenship, income, cross-cultural friendships, and experience caring for a foreign patient during training. Xenophobia scores varied with university, income, the kind of place students grew up in, family type, and whether they had taken a course on care across cultures. Surprisingly, empathy and xenophobia showed no clear association with each other. The findings give midwifery programmes concrete factors to work with when shaping training for work with migrant patients.
