The Status, Problems and Countermeasures of Narrative Medicine’s Clinical Practice in China / 中国医学伦理学

By reviewing the research context of narrative medicine in China in the past five years and sorting out the development status of narrative medicine in clinical practice in China, this paper pointed out the reasons why narrative medicine is difficult to implement in clinical practice in China at present. It mainly includes three points: the awareness of narrative medicine within the clinical medical community is not high; the humanities community focuses on the development of narrative medicine in medical education, resulting in rather scarce research on narrative medicine based on clinical practice; the research objects of narrative medicine are too narrow, ignoring the importance of the public and the front-line clinical personnel in the clinical practice of narrative medicine. Accordingly, this paper proposed corresponding countermeasures: it is advocated to investigate the awareness of narrative medicine in clinical medicine and the public, and it is suggested to list them as important objects of narrative medicine education. At the same time, it is recommended that the relationship between narrative medicine and doctor-patient communication should be clarified theoretically to guide the construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship in clinical practice.

Research on the Significance and Path of Standardizing Patients’ Obligations from the Perspective of Building the Community of Doctor-patient / 中国医学伦理学

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.
