叙事医学虚构作品《仁医》的伦理反思

随着医学科学与技术的发展,医学生患上了“医学人文缺乏综合征”,西方医学教育者提出,应将“文学与医学”引入医学院校的教育体系中。叙事医学作品随之引起人们的关注,成为治愈“医学人文缺乏综合征”的良药之一。尝试以医学叙事虚构作品《仁医》为例,以医学伦理学为整体框架解析小说中的四个核心叙事情境:医生与患者、医生与同事、医生与社会,以及医生与自我之间的关系。通过仔细研读和伦理反思,证实叙事医学著作的确是一味治疗“医学人文缺乏综合征”的良药,它不但能提高医生和医学生的叙述能力、临床想象力、临床阅历,还能缓解其职业压力。     

Doctors as patients: How psychological therapists experience the opposing ideologies

Research suggests that doctors experience higher levels of stress and mental health problems than the general population. Doctors frequently experience difficulty seeking help, and also challenges during psychological treatment, due to role reversal and competing ideologies.

Focusing specifically on the under-researched area of doctors as patients in a psychological context, this paper explores the processes underlying role transition as well as the therapeutic relationship that follows.

Furthermore, therapeutic reactions and adaptions of practice to this dynamic is also explored. A qualitative approach was employed and seven psychological therapists who had worked extensively with doctors as their patients were interviewed.

Subsequent interview data were thematically analyzed.

Six themes were generated: fear and pressure; status and control; variation of ideologies; change in practice; temporal changes; and help seeking and support.

The main barrier to recovery for doctors is difficulty in accessing services owing to the high-levels of stigma and shame that may be experienced. This research identifies some of the adaptions made by psychological therapists within their practice when working with doctors as patients.
