AIMS OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to investigate the relevance and the barriers of physician empathy in medical rehabilitation by conducting a narrative literature review and a qualitative survey in physicians. METHODS: First, we described the current state of research of physician empathy in medical rehabilitation based on a narrative (non-systematic) review of the literature. Additionally, the questions of relevance and barriers of physician empathy were examined in a qualitative short survey with physicians from Rehabilitation Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatric and Family Medicine. The qualitative data were analyzed according to the summarizing content analysis of Mayring. RESULTS: Only n=13 studies of physician empathy were conducted in Rehabilitation Medicine; of those, just a few were from Germany and a small number investigated the influence of empathy on patient health outcomes. The qualitative survey's results regarding the definition, patient outcomes and barriers of physician empathy are similar to other theoretical and empirical studies on those issues. Moreover, they show many new, practical aspects, particularly in the field of barriers of physician empathy. CONCLUSION: Although physician empathy has been shown to be an outcome-relevant factor in acute health care, less attention has been paid to it in Rehabilitation research. Physicians from Rehabilitation Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatric and Family Medicine perceive empathic behavior also as an outcome-relevant ability, which is particularly hindered by time pressure and stress but also by personal and patient-specific factors. |
