Empathy and Person-Centered Care from the perspective of undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology students.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo correlate the empathy of undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology students with their preference for the person-centered care (PCC) model.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional quantitative study using a questionnaire. Undergraduate Speech Language Pathology students from any academic year, enrolled in any Higher Education Institution (HEI), aged 18 years or older, participated in the study. Participants completed the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) and the Empathy Inventory via an online form. A simple descriptive statistical analysis and data analysis based on total scores and dimensions of the applied instruments were performed. A significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted.
resultsForty undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology students participated, with an average age of 26.25 years. Of these, 82.5% were students from private HEIs, and 67.5% were from the southern region of the country. Regarding the PPOS scale, participants scored higher in the "caring" dimension. For the Empathy Inventory, higher scores were observed in the "affective sensitivity" factor and lower scores in the "interpersonal flexibility" factor. A significant positive correlation was found between the total scores of the questionnaires, between the "interpersonal flexibility" factor and the "caring" dimension, and between the "altruism" factor and the "caring" dimension.
conclusionIn the evaluated sample, undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology students with higher levels of empathy, particularly altruism and interpersonal flexibility, demonstrated a tendency to prefer the PCC model. Thus, investing in strategies to enhance empathy in undergraduate students may encourage the adoption of the PCC model, contributing to improved patient care quality in Speech-Language Pathology.
