Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aim: This study was carried out to determine the relationship between alexithymia and empathy in nursing and midwifery students. Method: This descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was performed 240 students who volunteered to participate in the study on the date during which data were collected studying at the nursing and midwifery department of the Faculty of Health Sciences of a state university during the 2016-2017 Spring Semester. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Basic Empathy Scale (BES) and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Frequency, percentage, mean, Mann-Whitney U test for binary groups, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Spearman correlation analysis test for more than two groups were used in the evaluation of data. Findings: The average age of 240 students who participated in the study was 21.72±1.30 years, and 66.3% of them (n=159) were nursing students while 33.7% of them (n=81) were midwifery students. When the averages of the TAS-20 scores were examined, it was determined that 15.4% (n=37) of the students had a score of 61 or more and included alexithymic group. There was a significant negative relationship between the BES and TAS-20 (r=-.167, p=.010). Conclusion: It is observed that there is a negative relationship between students' alexithymia and empathy and that individuals without alexithymia tendency have higher empathy developing skills.

ÖzetAmaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelik ve ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinde aleksitimi ile empati arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı, ilişki arayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikte yapılan çalışma, 2016-2017 Bahar Yarıyılı’nda verilerin toplandığı tarihte çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü 240 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Temel Empati Ölçeği (TEÖ) ve Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği (TAÖ-20) kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; frekans, yüzde, ortalama, ikili gruplarda Mann Whitney U Testi, ikiden fazla gruplarda Kruskal Wallis-H testi ve Spearmen korelasyon analiz testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan 240 öğrencinin yaş ortalamaları 21.72±1.30, %66.3’ü (n=159) hemşirelik ve %33.7’si (n=81) ebelik öğrencisi idi. TAÖ-20 puan ortalamaları incelendiğinde, öğrencilerin %15.4’ünün (n=37) 61 ve üstü puan alarak aleksitimik gruba dahil olduğu saptandı. TEÖ ve TAÖ-20 ölçekleri arasında zıt yönde anlamlı düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu saptandı (r=-.167, p=.010). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin aleksitimi ile empati arasında zıt yönde bir ilişki olduğu, aleksitimi eğilimi olmayan bireylerin empati kurma yeteneklerinin daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
