Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess empathy and resilience among healthcare college students. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by healthcare college students from August 13 to October 13, 2018. Mean and standard deviation, t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The average score for perspective taking was 3.57(±0.48), fantasy 3.39(±0.59), empathic concern 3.57(±0.39), personal distress(3.02±0.48), and resilience 3.37±(0.41). There was a significant positive correlation between perspective taking (r=.388, p<.001) and resilience. Factors influencing resilience were perspective taking fantasy(β=.219, p<.001), empathic concern(β=.207, p=.004), and personal distress(β=-.303, p<.001). Conclusion: More studies are needed to develop the empathy improvement program for healthcare college students.
