ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of modern biomedicine, subjective factors such as human emotion and disease experience are diluted. Accurate data, programmed diagnosis and treatment process and other objective factors cut off the effective communication between doctors and patients, aggravating the already tense doctor-patient relationship and intensifying various conflicts in the clinic. In order to improve clinical humanistic care, medical and nursing workers have launched reflections and explorations. Narrative medicine is a new form of medical humanistic practice, while parallel chart, as an important way of its practice, records patients’ subjective experiences and painful feelings. It is of great theoretical significance and clinical value to sinicize narrative medicine and construct and promote parallel chart in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by studying the research progress of parallel chart in China and its application in TCM.
ABSTRACT
1)In the 2008 academic year, we developed a new narrative-based medicine (NBM) curriculum at Sapporo Medical University. <br>2) The program includes lectures on the concept of NBM, the clinical practice of NBM, and the illness narratives of patients' families, and exercises in narrative competence (significant event analysis, parallel chart, and life story).<br>3) Although some students had negative attitudes about the program, most students evaluated the course positively. We need to continuously improve the curriculum to develop narrative competence in medical students.
