---

INTRODUCTION This paper is a report of a systematic review to identify and analyze studies of the measurement of empathy in midwives and other health professionals. Empathy has been recognized as an important factor in patient care, with positive
outcomes for both patients and health professionals. There is a debate on the definition of empathy, on its measurement and on the possibility of improvement.
METHODS Searches were made of the CINAHL, SCOPUS, PubMed and PsychINFO databases using the terms empathy, clinical, midwifery, nursing, medical students, measurement, and health professionals, singly or in combination, to identify literature
published in English between 2002–2015. The included papers were critically reviewed and a narrative synthesis was conducted.

RESULTS In all, 22 papers met the inclusion criteria by studies that were conducted to measure the levels of empathy in a variety of health professionals and students. Their scores were analyzed in correlation with their sociodemographic factors.
CONCLUSIONS Despite numerous studies, many correlations but also differences exist, indicating the complexity of empathy and the need to further study it
