A total of 100 older adults living alone were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was interviewed by caregivers who experienced SEE-C while the control group was interviewed by caregivers who did not experience SEE-C. In both elderly groups, post session satisfaction and affective state were assessed using a Session Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ). Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test were conducted. The experimental group (n = 49) reported significantly higher scores than the control group (n = 51) for all three categories of SEQ: session-depth (Mann-Whitney U = 1651.5, p = 0.005), session-smoothness (Mann-Whitney U = 1803.0, p = 0.000), and emotion-positivity (Mann-Whitney U = 1783.0, p = 0.000). However, the experimental group had significantly lower scores for the arousal category of SEQ (Mann-Whitney U = 873.5, p = 0.009). SEE-C could have a positive impact on interviews for elderly care in terms of raising the satisfaction of the interviewee.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18157802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]],"date-time":"2021-07-23T00:07:40Z","timestamp":1626998860000},"page":"7802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effectiveness of Simulation-Based Empathy Enhancement Program for Caregivers (SEE-C) Evaluated by Older Adults Receiving Care"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7667-7830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyuwon","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Industry Academic Cooperation Foundation Office, Yonsei University, Mirae Campus, 79, Ilsanchogyo-gil, Wonju 26425, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1369-9052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Areum","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Alabama at Birmingham, SHPB 340, 1720 2nd Ave South, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0133-5227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tae Hui","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine, Wonju 26426, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.4103\/0253-7176.78503","article-title":"Socio-demographic Factors of Geriatric Depression","volume":"32","author":"Barua","year":"2010","journal-title":"Indian J.
