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.
ABSTRACT
Introdução: A relação médico-paciente tem sido muito estudada ao longo dos anos e sua importância na prática médica é um consenso. No final do ano de 2019 o mundo começou a luta contra a pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus. Os médicos de família e comunidade atuaram na linha de frente da pandemia. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as percepções dos médicos de família e comunidade na relação médico-paciente durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de análise do conteúdo das narrativas médicas, publicadas no blog "Causos Clínicos". O corpus de análise seguiu a metodologia proposta por Bardin. Resultados: Foram identificadas 42 narrativas com a temática de COVID-19 e relação médico-paciente. Após a análise de conteúdo, foram identificadas três categorias: emoções, contato físico e mudanças no sistema de saúde. Cada uma delas teve subcategorias específicas de acordo com as características das narrativas, podendo estar relacionada com "fortalezas e enfrentamentos": emoções conflituosas de saúde mental pessoais e também relacionadas ao papel social do médico; a necessidade do distanciamento social, reduzindo o contato físico; mudanças no sistema de saúde próprias desse período, como persistência de demandas clínicas e sociais, redução da disponibilidade de consultas presenciais e falta de insumos básicos de proteção; ou "barreiras e dificuldades": exercício da empatia; prática da escuta qualificada, do olhar atento e de habilidades de comunicação, além do uso da telemedicina. As informações obtidas na literatura corroboram os resultados encontrados nesta pesquisa. Quanto às limitações, este estudo contemplou apenas o olhar do médico e reuniu outras informações relevantes sobre a temática que não puderam ser incluídas nos resultados. Conclusões: De posse das informações obtidas neste trabalho foi possível concluir que de fato a relação médico-paciente sofreu alterações diante das variáveis identificadas, porém as narrativas revelam que mesmo em tempos de crise é possível estabelecer ligações significativas entre o médico e o paciente.
Introduction: The doctor-patient relationship (DPR) has been extensively studied over the years, and there is a consensus on its importance in medical practice. At the end of 2019, the world began to fight the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, whose main form of transmission is direct contact between individuals. Transmission control measures were adopted, but they impacted the way DPR used to be. Family physicians, working in primary health care, served on the front lines of the pandemic. They are often committed to DPR, and some have written their pandemic narratives on the "Causos Clínicos" blog. Faced with this moment, the idea arose of scrutinizing the nuances of the DPR in the light of the narratives of those who lived this process on the front lines. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the perception of family physicians in the DPR during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted, where we evaluated medical narratives published on "Causos Clínicos" through content analysis. The corpus of analysis went through three stages: pre-analysis, analytical description and referential interpretation. Results: After the selection of the corpus, 42 narratives were considered for the analytical process, in which the codes identified were: "barriers and difficulties" and "strengths and confrontations". Some barriers were then detected, such as: conflicting emotions of personal mental health and also related to the physician's social role; the need for social distancing, reducing physical contact; and changes in the health system typical of this period, such as the persistence of clinical and social demands, reduced availability of face-to-face consultations and insufficient basic protection supplies. The ways of coping identified were: exercising empathy; qualified listening, attentive look and communication skills, in addition to the use of telemedicine. The information from the literature corroborates the results obtained in this study. As for the limitations, this study only looked at the physician's point of view and gathered other relevant information on the subject, which could not be included in the results. Conclusions: It is possible to say that the DPR changed during the pandemic, but the narratives show that even in times of crisis, it is possible to establish significant links between the doctor and the patient. These results may contribute as a coping measure for new public health crises in the future.

Resumo No Brasil, a violência obstétrica vem sendo pesquisada desde os anos 1980. Na década de 90, no entanto, o fenômeno passou a receber maior destaque. A forma de violência analisada neste trabalho refere-se a uma violência velada, chamada de "violência perfeita". Este ensaio reflete sobre a ocorrência da violência perfeita na obstetrícia, especialmente no que concerne às sutilezas do discurso médico, que pode travestir essa agressão numa forma de cuidado. A violência perfeita pode soar como preocupação da parte do médico com a saúde da gestante, que pode se submeter às recomendações médicas de forma passiva, por acreditar que deve ser o melhor para ela ou para o bebê. Ao praticar a violência perfeita, o obstetra pode interferir no desfecho do parto. A "epidemia" de cesarianas no Brasil tem sido justificada pelos médicos como preferência da mulher, mas pesquisas refutam essa hipótese e provocam a reflexão: quem está de fato escolhendo a modalidade de parto? O presente ensaio nos mostra que observar as sutilezas do discurso médico pode ajudar a responder essa pergunta.
Abstract In Brazil obstetric violence has been researched since the 1980s. However, in the nineties the phenomenon started to have a more prominent position. The form of violence analysed in this study refers to a covert violence, called "perfect violence". This essay reflects about the occurrence of perfect violence in obstetrics, especially regarding the subtleties of medical discourse, which can disguise this aggression as a form of care. This type of violence may sound as if it was a concern with the patient's health on behalf of the doctor, but it can make the patient submit herself to the medical recommendations in a passive manner, believing it is the best for her and her baby. In this way, violence is disguised as good practice, allegedly aiming at what is best for the patient. In practicing perfect violence, the doctor can interfere in the delivery outcome. The caesarean "epidemic" in Brazil has been justified by doctors as the woman's preference, but research undermines this hypothesis and raises the reflection: who is in fact choosing the type of childbirth? This essay shows us that observing the subtleties of medical discourse can help answering this question.
ABSTRACT
The development of medical and health services calls for a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. From the perspective of education, good communication is a positive factor in building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship ecology. The action path to strengthen the ideological and political construction of the doctor-patient communication course is the need to cultivate high-quality medical students, which is conducive to the ideological and political education of medical students and the teaching effect of the doctor-patient communication course. To improve the ideological and political construction system of the doctor-patient communication course, efforts should be made in four dimensions: strengthen the ideological and political quality of teachers, excavate and make good use of ideological and political elements of the doctor-patient communication course, enhance the dominant and recessive dual educational narration, form a joint force mechanism for the ideological and political system of the doctor-patient communication course.
ABSTRACT
As one of the important contents and links of doctor-patient communication, the quality of breaking bad news will affect the development of doctor-patient relationship. Bad news informed not only involves the feedback of clinical medical diagnosis results, but also involves special knowledge training and clinical experience accumulation, as well as ethical, legal, social custom and other factors. At present, it is still a difficult problem troubling physicians in the medical environment. From the different perspectives of doctors, patients and family members, this paper sorted out the domestic and international status of breaking bad news, revealed its internal dilemmas, and summarized the informing strategies to cope with these dilemmas, with a view to providing references for hospital managers and medical staff to earlier identify and properly inform, helping both doctors and patients to get rid of the dilemma of notification and improve the doctor-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
Based on the background of the inevitable requirements of improving patients’ personal health ethical responsibility in the construction of a healthy China, the urgent requirement of emphasizing patients’ ethical responsibility for respecting doctors in the construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship, and the need to improve patients’ public health ethical responsibility, it is of great practical significance to study patients’ ethical responsibility for seeking medical treatment. By combing the papers of patients’ ethical responsibility at home and abroad, the ethical responsibility of patients for seeking medical treatment was summarized as the responsibility to protect their own life and health, respect and understand medical staff, safeguard the interests of other patients and social public, rationally accept the effect of diagnosis and treatment, and respect and abide by relevant medical laws and regulations and hospital rules and regulations. At present, the limitations of domestic and foreign research on patients’ ethical responsibility for seeking medical treatment mainly include the theoretical system is not yet perfect, the empirical research is still insufficient, and the practice and transformation path of patients’ ethical responsibility education for seeking medical treatment need to be constructed, and so on. It is expected to provide useful reference for the follow-up research to improve the theoretical system of patients’ medical ethical responsibility, explore responsibility education and practice paths, and improve patients’ awareness of medical responsibility.
ABSTRACT
To explore the effect of doctor-patient relationship perception on work performance among medical staff in public hospitals and its mechanism. The convenient sampling method was used to select 380 medical staff working in four public tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, Zhejiang Province, and Fujian Province from August 2022 to October 2022 as the research objects, and the General Information Questionnaire, Doctor-Patient Relationship Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale, Work Performance Questionnaire were used. This paper showed that the doctor-patient relationship perception of medical staff was negatively correlated with self-efficacy (r=-0.392, P<0.01) and work performance (r=-0.286, P<0.01), self-efficacy was positively correlated with perceived organizational support (r=0.538, P<0.01) and work performance (r=0.507, P<0.01), perceived organizational support was positively correlated with work performance (r=0.510, P<0.01). Self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between doctor-patient relationship perception and work performance, and its effect value was -0.241, accounting for 64.78% of the total effect. Perceived organizational support weakened the negative predictive effect of doctor-patient relationship perception on self-efficacy, which moderates the first half path of the mediating model that doctor-patient relationship perception affects work performance through self-efficacy. It indicated that the doctor-patient relationship perceived by medical staff in public hospitals is poor. Measures should be taken from the aspects of policy support, hospital and society levels to alleviate the doctor-patient relationship, play the mediating role of self-efficacy and the moderating role of organizational support, minimize the negative impact of doctor-patient relationship on the work performance among medical staff, and improve the work performance of medical staff, so as to improve the overall quality of medical services.
ABSTRACT
On the basis of combing and reflecting on the literature related to doctor-patient shared decision-making, this paper proposed the necessity of discussing the ethical basis of shared decision-making from a theoretical perspective, and attempted to analyze the suitability of Aristotle’s "friendship" ideology as its ethics’ basis. At the practical level, starting from Ropohl’s technical ethics, it was recommended to establish a shared decision-making responsibility sharing system, providing methodological guidelines for the clinical application of shared decision-making.
ABSTRACT
With the development of medicine technology and the increasing of people’s demand for quality of life, the complexity of doctor-patient relationships is also increasing. Pediatrics is one of the departments with the most concentrated and complex doctor-patient conflicts, therefore, it is necessary to analyze the sick roles and doctor-patient relationships in pediatrics. This paper explained the connotation of the sick role and the doctor-patient social interaction pattern based on Parsons’ theory of "sick role", and analyzed the particularity of the pediatric sick roles in China according to China’s national conditions. Meanwhile, combining the group characteristics and social background of pediatric sick role, this paper elaborated the sociological crux of pediatric doctor-patient relationship in China, and conducted a critical analysis on Parsons’ theory of "sick role".
ABSTRACT
Educating patients to correctly recognize and fulfill their health ethical responsibilities is an important basis for maintaining individual health, constructing a harmonious doctor-patient relationship, and building a healthy China. By combing the domestic and foreign papers on patient ethical responsibility education, this paper summarized the educational elements of patient ethical responsibility education, including the educational subject, educational object, educational content, and educational path. At present, there are limitations in the research on patient ethical responsibility education both domestically and internationally, such as incomplete theoretical system, insufficient empirical research on the transformation from theory to practice, and the lack of educational effectiveness evaluation tools. It is expected to provide useful reference to improve the theoretical system of patient ethical responsibility for future research on patient ethical responsibility education, explore the path of ethical responsibility education and practice, and formulate effective tools for evaluating the effectiveness of ethical responsibility education, and improve patients’ awareness and performance of ethical responsibility.
ABSTRACT
This paper mainly explored the application of medical games in doctor-patient communication in pediatric otorhinolaryngology. Taking the "Little Warrior Break Through" medical game service of Shenzhen Longgang District Otolaryngology Hospital as an example, doctors, nurses and social workers formed a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team. Focusing on the three major problems in pediatric otorhinolaryngology, namely, the tense doctor-patient relationship, the insufficient doctor-patient communication, and the difficulty of children to cooperate with treatment, the team carried out a series of themed medical games covering the three stages of admission preparation, preoperative counseling, and postoperative rehabilitation for pediatric otolaryngology patients and their families. This paper showed that medical games can effectively help children and their families to ease tension, promote doctor-patient communication, increase the symmetry of doctor-patient information, improve children’s adaptation and acceptance of diseases, and ease the tense doctor-patient relationship. It is hoped that the exploration of the medical game service of "Little Warrior Break Through" will inspire medical social work, and then build micro-operation methods in clinical practice to help construct a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
Medical ethics ward rounds truly embody the behavior of respecting human nature and providing humanistic care for patients, which is conducive to the unity of medical scientific judgment and decision-making with medical ethical judgment and decision-making, and the integration of medical ethics and medical skills. Medical ethics ward rounds focus on both doctors and patients. Through reviewing medical records and medical-related documents, interviewing medical staff as well as patients, observing doctor-patient communication, the ward environment and facilities, etc., the medical ethics ward round team conducted comprehensive ethical ward rounds on the clinical departments of the hospital, and evaluated the actual situation of them in terms of patients’ informed consent, privacy protection, application of new clinical technologies, medical quality, ward environment and facilities, professional dedication of medical staff, and so on. The respect of medical staff for the rights and interests of patients is not only the respect for the basic personality of patients, but also the external embodiment of bioethics. Medical ethics ward rounds combined with the PDCA cycle can understand the pain points and difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, as well as the experience of patients in the process of medical treatment, and construct a harmonious doctor-patient relationship through the joint efforts of both doctors and patients.
ABSTRACT
【Objective:】 To understand the current status and problems of the doctor-patient relationship under the family doctor contract service system through the investigation on residents contracted by community family doctors, and to provide reference for constructing harmonious doctor-patient relationship and promoting the healthy operation of the family doctor contract service system. 【Methods:】 A questionnaire survey was conducted on 1 655 residents of a certain university community in Xi’an from January to February 2023 who completed family doctor contract services in 2022. Through the general situation of signed residents, the willingness of signed family doctors, and the satisfaction and opinions with signed family doctors’ services, this paper investigated the current status of the doctor-patient relationship and proposed corresponding improvement strategies. 【Results:】 A total of 856 residents(52.68%) were willing to sign the contract, 322 residents(19.82%) were unwilling to sign the contract, 397 residents(24.43%) expressed indifference, and 50 residents(3.07%) abstained from signing the contract. There was no statistical difference in service satisfaction between residents of different genders(P=0.292). The satisfaction of working staff aged 40-60(72.33%) was higher than that of retirees aged over 60(61.05%, P<0.001). The satisfaction of those with bachelor’s degree or above(58.23%) was higher than that of those with bachelor’s degree below(51.77%, P=0.008). The satisfaction of individuals living alone(70.21%) was significantly higher than that of non-solitary individuals(54.35%, P<0.001). The overall satisfaction score of contracted residents with contracted services was(4.48±0.14) points, including 4.31 points for satisfaction with service methods, 4.47 points for satisfaction with service attitudes, 4.52 points for satisfaction with service content, and 4.60 points for satisfaction with service effectiveness. 【Conclusion:】 Most community residents have a positive attitude towards family doctor contract services. Improving service satisfaction and strengthening doctor-patient communication are feasible ways to improve grassroots doctor-patient relationships and promote the operation of the family doctor contract service system.
