Forming emotional and value-based attitude to a patient as a pedagogical problem
The article argues the need for forming the emotional and value-based attitude to the patient in the medical education from the interdisciplinary point of view. Analyses of pedagogical, psychological, sociological, philosophical literature allowed to elicit the following risks for humanity aspects training within medical education: a) peculiarities of medical work, biological in itself, and risks of treating the patient “as a machine that should be fixed” and ignoring the biopsychosocial origin of a patient as a person; b) the shift from medical help to medical service, that is fraught with the risks of perceiving a patient as a source of income; the red tape that takes time from humanistic aspects of the medical profession; c) technologisation and digitalization that leads to detachment between physicians and patients and loss of emotional bonds between them. As a way of avoidance of these risks, the systematic educational efforts aimed at forming personal qualities of a specialist that allow perceiving the patient in one's biopsychosocial plentitude are seen. The analyses of the concepts from the related studies allowed us to conclude the necessity of introduction of the notion “the emotional and value-based attitude of a physician to the patient” and its further investigation.
