The aim of the main study is to find out the effects on empathy in physiotherapy students after role playing in the learning of the clinical history.

Thirty-one first-year physiotherapy students will carry out the role-playing methodology to learn how to take a clinical history in physiotherapy. Before and after the realization, they will be measured by means of a validated questionnaire in Spanish, the language in which they study, the variable of empathy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Empathy Quotent before role playing.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
It consists of 60 items, 40 measuring empathy and 20 control measures. Scores range from 0 to 80. It measures cognitive and affective empathy in adults. Equalizer allows classification into four categories, which facilitates comparison between groups. The cut-off for each level is: from 0 to 32 scores: low empathy (average scores in Asperger Syndrome is 20), from 33 to 52 scores: average empathy (average in men 42, average in women 47), from 53 to 63 scores: above average, from 64 to 80 scores: high empathy

This questionnaire has been widely used to measure empathy in health science students.13 It consists of 60 items, 40 measuring empathy and 20 control measures. Scores range from 0 to 80. It measures cognitive and affective empathy in adults. Equalizer allows classification into four categories, which facilitates comparison between groups. The cut-off for each level is: from 0 to 32 scores: low empathy (average scores in Asperger Syndrome is 20), from 33 to 52 scores: average empathy (average in men 42, average in women 47), from 53 to 63 scores: above average, from 64 to 80 scores: high empathy.
Jefferson Scale or Medical Empathy Scale after role playing
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
To determine the empathy levels of nursing students, the validated Jefferson Empathy Scale for health professions students will be used. This scale consists of 20 items, each of which is assessed using a seven-point Likert-type response scale (from 1 = 'strongly disagree' to 7 = 'strongly agree'). These items are divided into three subscales: 'perspective taking' (11 items), which refers to the cognitive aspects of empathy; 'compassionate care' (6 items), which is characterised by a combination of cognitive and affective aspects of empathy; and 'putting oneself in the patient's shoes' (three items), considered the inverse of emotional distancing . Ten of these items are positively worded, while the other 10 are negatively worded and should be reversed. The total scores range from 20 to 140 points. Higher scores reflect higher levels of empathy.
