Aim: There are few studies in the literature that evaluate the empathy skills of pharmacists. Additionally, no studies have been conducted in Turkey regarding the empathy skills of pharmacists. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of empathy among pharmacists practicing in Erzurum province. Material and methods: Data collection involved the use of a socio-demographic data form and the Empathy Scale (ES). The ES, developed by Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright, was previously validated and tested for reliability in the Turkish context by Baysan-Arabacı and Bora. The scale consists of 60 items and utilizes a 4-point Likert rating system, with an internal reliability coefficient of 0.85. The questionnaire form was created using Google Forms and distributed to the target population. A total of 74 pharmacists voluntarily participated and completed the questionnaire. Results: The overall findings indicated that the pharmacists' empathy scores (49.26±12.33) were above average. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to analyze the impact of variables such as working area, educational status, number of years in the profession, and age on empathy scores. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in empathy scores based on working area (p=0.036). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in empathy scores regarding educational status, number of years in the profession, and age (p=0.172; p=0.532; p=0.541, respectively). Additional t-test analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between empathy scores and variables such as gender, marital status, and voluntary occupational preference. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in empathy scores based on gender (p=0.041). However, no statistically significant differences were found in empathy scores regarding marital status and voluntary occupational preference. Conclusion: Considering the importance of empathy in effective communication, enhancing empathy skills among pharmacists is crucial for optimizing health outcomes. To improve empathy in pharmacists, it is recommended to incorporate empathy courses or training programs into pharmacy education that utilize techniques such as psychodrama, role-playing, and role-modeling. Furthermore, continuous and ongoing training should be provided to reinforce and maintain empathy skills in pharmacy practice.
