ABSTRACT
At present， there are many difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of acute vestibular syndrome （AVS）. For example， complex and difficult identification of the cause of disease， uneven diagnosis and treatment levels of clinical doctors， weak humanistic care awareness， lack of communication skills， intrinsic affinity and other reasons， which make it difficult for AVS patients in the process of diagnosis and treatment， and cannot receive timely and effective treatment， resulting in an exacerbation of doctor-patient conflicts. Therefore， it is recommended to explore new paths of AVS diagnosis and treatment work using the humanistic care concept， respect each other between doctors and patients， build a team of medical staff with the value orientation of “humanistic care”， and promote the organic unity of theory and practice of “humanistic care”， with a view to better promoting the implementation of AVS diagnosis and treatment work， helping more patients rebuild confidence， enhancing quality of life， and improving the doctor-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
The medical education perspective of the Johns Hopkins model mainly includes the integration of clinical， teaching， and scientific research， integrating medical humanities elements and conducting elite education with small class teaching， long learning， and high elimination rates. This model has made remarkable achievements in the practice of introducing it into the field of medical education several times， and also had many positive effects on the doctor-patient relationship in the first half of the 20th century. The contemporary doctor-patient relationship has generated new negative sides， mainly including reduced trust and compliance caused by the proliferation of medical information， increased aggression in patients due to information asymmetry between doctors and patients， and conflicts arising from difficulties in doctors-patient shared decision-making. These can be mitigated by taking action through drawing on the medical education perspective of the Johns Hopkins model and transforming it into a more in line with contemporary situations， as well as taking the cultivation of medical talents as the starting point， so as to promote the improvement of doctor-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
This paper analyzed the legal issues existing on the medical side in 20 medical damage cases in obstetrics from January 2020 to June 2022 in China Judgment Documents Network， and hoped to explore the paths that the medical side can use for reference in building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship in the legal context. Firstly， medical institutions should establish rescue evaluation systems and early warning mechanisms for critical pregnancy and maternal， so as to ensure the health and safety of life of pregnant women and newborns， as well as prevent the occurrence of adverse obstetric events. Secondly， strengthening the cultivation of the humanistic quality among obstetric medical practitioners is the basis of the harmonious obstetrical doctor-patient relationship. Thirdly， the training and learning of relevant laws and regulations such as the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and the Physician Law of the People’s Republic of China should be strengthened. Fourthly， the patients’ informed consent should be respected， the process and procedures of fulfilling informed consent should be standardized by the systems， and the forms for fulfilling informed consent should be further explored. Fifthly， the medical risk-sharing mechanism should be explored and this paper suggested that postpartum women purchase obstetric accident insurance to reasonably share medical risks. Sixthly， medical social workers should be introduced， doctor-patient communication should be strengthened， and the obstetric risk awareness of the whole society should be enhanced.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
One of the crux of the problem of doctor-patient relationship is the uneven division of rights and obligations between doctors and patients. Among them, it is significantly essential to emphasize the patient’s obligation as a weak point. The reasons cover many aspects. On the one hand, it is of great significance to standardize patient obligations: the definition of patients’ obligations is better health protection for patients; the emphasis on patients’ obligations is the moral support for doctors’ responsibilities; the fulfillment of patients’ obligations promotes the win-win interests of doctors and patients. On the other hand, the current situation of standardizing patients’ obligations is not optimistic: the provisions of patients’ obligations in existing laws and regulations are not ideal; the current ethical discussion on patient obligations also needs to be deepened. Therefore, in order to standardize patients’ obligations, build harmonious doctor-patient relationship and build a community of doctor-patient, this paper put forward specific suggestions from three aspects: improving laws and regulations, standardizing the management of medical institutions and enhancing patients’ literacy.
ABSTRACT
China’s foreign aid medical work is an important part of development of friendly relations with foreign countries and an important way to build a human health community. African countries generally have backward economic and social development, poor medical and health conditions and different languages and cultures, which makes the development of foreign aid medical work special and challenging. Foreign aid doctors and local patients share common feelings, mutual respect, equality, mutual trust and sincere cooperation, and building a community of destiny with the common goal of defeating diseases is an essential content to promote the health of the people of the recipient countries and realize the community of human health. Taking the work practice of the eighth batch of China (Shaanxi) medical team assisting Malawi as an example, this paper expounded the specific practice of building a community of doctor-patient in foreign aid medical work and discussed its significance, to provide theoretical and practical basis for the smooth development of foreign aid medical work in the future.
ABSTRACT
The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.
ABSTRACT
The COVID -19 epidemic not only brings heavy burden to the society, but also makes the originally tense doctor-patient relationship closely connected from another aspect, which objectively becomes a new opportunity to improve the doctor-patient relationship. By comparing and analyzing the current situation of the doctor-patient relationship before and after the COVID -19 epidemic, this paper discussed the causes of tension between doctors and patients, and proposed corresponding solutions, so as to promote the continuation and development of highly harmonious doctor-patient relationship during the COVID -19 epidemic prevention and control period in the future.
ABSTRACT
Ethical sensitivity is a behavioral concept emerging in recent years, which has attracted high attention from all sectors of society. Ethical sensitivity not only affects the clinical decision-making, doctor-patient relationship and medical quality of medical staff, but also provides the possibility to identify, predict and solve ethical problems in clinical. Combined with previous studies, this paper analyzed the current situation of ethical sensitivity of medical personnel in China, and took pediatric medical staff as an example to analyze the factors affecting the ethical sensitivity of medical staff from clinical practice and related theories, including age, working years, occupational categories, education level, work environment, empathy ability, etc. At the same time, this paper analyzed the causes of the ethical sensitivity of medical staff from the perspective of clinical practice and related systems, and put forward corresponding countermeasures, so as to improve the ethical sensitivity of medical staff and help to build a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle expounded his thoughts on health by analogy. Through summarizing Aristotle’s main thoughts on health, which including clarifying that the purpose of medicine is health, thinking that only moderation can create, promote and maintain health, emphasizing active-passive doctor-patient relationship, and generally respecting medical discipline and healthy life, this paper founded that his thoughts on health have obvious limitations. The limitations included: ignored the purpose of medicine also included group health; the "moderation" theory lacked accuracy and scientificity; weakened the patient’s right to speak in the doctor-patient relationship and did not give a clear guide to "how to live a healthy life". And then explored the enlightenment of Aristotle’s health thoughts to the development of contemporary society.
ABSTRACT
Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes the traditional doctor-patient relationship present a new pattern, but also highlights many ethical problems: inability to protect the rights and interests of patients, weakening the main responsibility of medical personnel, weakening the practical ability of medical personnel, and challenging the main status of medical personnel, etc.. It is necessary to improve relevant laws, regulations and regulatory system, adhere to the main status of medical personnel, improve the public awareness and acceptance of medical AI, and strengthen the construction of ethical system of AI, so as to deal with the ethical anomie caused by intelligent medical treatment and promote the harmonious development of doctor-patient relationship. It is expected that through the combination of AI and professional ethics principles, AI will be brought into daily clinical practice responsibly, to provide patients with better medical services.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
This article recounts a poignant interaction between the author and a mother of a child with cerebral palsy. The mother's remarkable strength and optimism in the face of adversity deeply moved the author, leading to a tearful moment which prompted a comforting response from the mother. The ongoing debate regarding whether doctors are allowed to display emotions in their professional lives centers around the challenge of balancing professionalism with the emotional impact of providing healthcare to patients. While doctors are expected to uphold professionalism and make sound decisions in their work environment, simultaneous expression of emotions, empathy, and vulnerabilities becomes inevitable.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Las innovadoras tecnologías del metaverso y el chat GPT4 (basado en inteligencia artificial) están presentes en el discurso cotidiano de la sociedad; recientemente se han introducido en la práctica médica y están provocando importantes cambios. En cuanto al metaverso ("después del universo"), diversas escuelas y facultades de medicina del mundo comienzan a utilizarlo como una estrategia innovadora dirigida a la enseñanza de materias como anatomía, histología, oftalmología y simulación en mundos paralelos (virtuales) para el aprendizaje y supervisión de cirugías, así como para otras aplicaciones en educación médica y en la relación médico-paciente. Si bien debe tomarse en cuenta como un área de oportunidad para la transformación de la medicina, es importante considerar las diversas limitaciones y riesgos del metaverso en la práctica médica, la formación de estudiantes y la relación del médico con los problemas de salud a los que se enfrenta en su práctica.
Abstract Innovative technologies such as the metaverse and chat GPT-4 (based on artificial intelligence) are present in the daily discourse of society; recently, they have been introduced into medical practice and are bringing about important changes. In the case of the metaverse ("beyond the universe"), various medical schools and departments around the world are beginning to use it as an innovative strategy for teaching subjects such as anatomy, histology, ophthalmology, and simulation in parallel (virtual) worlds for learning and supervision of surgeries, as well as for other applications in medical education and in the doctor-patient relationship. Although it should be regarded as an area of opportunity for the transformation of medicine, it is important to consider the various limitations and risks of the metaverse in medical practice, student training, and physicians' relationship with the health problems they have to deal with in their practice.
ABSTRACT
La forma como el clínico percibe al paciente y sus conocimientos sobre el consentimiento informado (CI) se reflejan en prácticas de respeto hacia el paciente, con relación a su autonomía y privacidad, desde un marco ético, deontológico y legal. El objetivo fue analizar las percepciones y prácticas de cirujanos en relación con el respeto de la autonomía del paciente durante el proceso de toma del CI en un hospital de la ciudad de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. Metodología Cualitativa. La muestra fue por saturación, aplicando una entrevista semiestructurada. Los datos se analizaron por medio del programa Atlas Ti 8.0®, utilizando rastreo de categorías estructuradas. La mayoría de los médicos asume el consentimiento como un documento legal y obligatorio, por el miedo a procesos sancionatorios. Además, suele delegar su responsabilidad a otros profesionales, desconociendo componentes estructurales y éticos de la toma del consentimiento informado. Concluimos que la falta de conocimiento sobre CI lleva a percepciones y, por ende, a prácticas que vulneran la autonomía y la confidencialidad, además del respeto de recibir la información por parte del clínico que realiza la intervención.
The way in which the clinician perceives the patient and his knowledge about informed consent (IC) are reflected in practices of respect for the patient, in relation to their autonomy and privacy from an ethical, deontological and legal framework. Objective. Analyze the perceptions and practices by surgeons in relation to the respect of the autonomy of the patient during the process of taking the IC in a hospital in the city of de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas / Ecuador. Methodology. Cualitattivo. The sample was by saturation applying a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed using the Atlas Ti 8.0 ® program using structured category tracking. Result. Most doctors take consent as a legal and mandatory document, for fear of sanctioning processes. In addition, they usually delegate their responsibility to other professionals ignoring structural and ethical components of taking informed consent. Conclusion. It is evident that the lack of knowledge about IQ leads to perceptions, and therefore, to practices that violate autonomy and confidentiality, in addition to the respect of receiving information from the clinician who performed the intervention.

Resumen Introducción: Una buena relación médico-paciente es crucial para la práctica médica. Un elemento fundamen tal de la misma es la empatía del médico tratante, y esta puede ser cuantificada mediante una escala validada llamada Escala de Empatía de Jefferson. Métodos: En este estudio buscamos correlacionar los valores de empatía de los médicos del servicio con los resultados de las encuestas de satisfacción del pa ciente ambulatorio, medido mediante una herramienta llamada HCAPS. Resultados: Encontramos que los pacientes percibían un mayor trato respetuoso y que se les explicaba mejor sus opciones de tratamiento por parte de los médicos con mayores niveles de empatía. No hubo diferencias en los niveles de empatía de los médicos según su edad, sexo, o tiempo desde la obtención del título de especialista. Discusión: Los resultados validan a la empatía como una habilidad clave dentro de la relación médico-paciente.
Abstract Introduction: A good doctor-patient relationship is crucial to medical practice. A fundamental element of it is the empathy of the treating physician, and it can be quantified by means of a validated scale called the Jefferson Empathy Scale. Methods: In this study we sought to correlate the empathy values of our physicians with the results of outpatient satisfaction surveys, measured using a tool called HCAPS. Results: We found that patients perceived greater respectful treatment and had their treatment options better explained to them by physicians with higher lev els of empathy. There were no differences in physicians' empathy levels according to their age, gender, or time since qualifying as a specialist. Discussion: These results validate empathy as a key skill in the doctor-patient relationship.
