Exploring Methods of Constructing Harmonious Doctor-patient Relationship from the Perspective of Image Theory / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The application of the image theory of psychology to the modern doctor-patient relationship offers a new perspective and method for alleviating tensions between doctors and patients. In the construction of a doctor-patient community, doctors and patients must empathize and build a consensus based on empathy. From the perspective of constructivism, it is recommended that patients actively complete the process of "meaning construction" of disease cognition through "collaboration" and "dialogue" with doctors, so as to achieve the goal of shared decision-making between doctors and patients. Constructing a harmonious doctor-patient relationship requires putting patients in the center to create patient persona, taking narrative medicine as a bridge to listen to doctor-patient stories, and using multimedia as a platform to medical knowledge.
