Sažetak
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the degree of emotional empathy and to explore the connection between emotional empathy and the occurrence of conflicts between work and family roles in dental medicine doctors. Materials and methods: The research involved 589 doctors of dental medicine from the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The questionnaire consisted of three segments. The first segment of the questionnaire contained questions about the general and demographic data of the respondents, the second segment of the questionnaire included the Scale of Emotional Empathy, and the third segment of the questionnaire contained a Scale for Assessing Work and Family Roles. Results: 49 % of dental medicine doctors surveyed show high levels of emotional empathy. A positive correlation was observed between empathy and the female sex (R = 0.282 ; P ≤ 0.001). No difference in the emotional empathy of the doctor was observed (P = 0.318) and the conflict between the working and family roles (P = 0.291) depending on the country they come from. Research has found no association between emotional empathy and work and family role conflicts (P = 0.435). Conclusion: The research found no connection between the degree of emotional empathy and the occurrence of work- and family-based conflict in examined doctors of dental medicine. Women show a higher degree of emotional empathy compared to men. Also, subjects employed at the clinical hospital center show a higher emotional empathy than those employed in the private sector. Oral surgery specialists show a lower degree of emotional empathy.
