Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of junior medical students'cognition on the relationship between doctors and patients,and to provide reference for medical students'medical education and medical education reform,Methods:Self-made questionnaire was adopted to investigate the cognitive status of doctor-patient relationship among junior medical students from three medical universities in Guangzhou.Results:Totally 41.04％ of junior medical students had a basic understanding of doctor-patient relationship,and the degree of understanding of doctor-patient relationship is not different between junior and senior medical students (P ＞ 0.05);76.62％ of medical students got acquainted with the status of doctor-patient relationship mainly through the media;86.57％ of junior medical students thought that the doctor-patient relationship was tense.The cognition of doctor-patient relationship between male and female students was similar (P ＞ 0.05),and so wasit between freshmen and sophomores (P ＞ 0.05).Male and female students had the same opinion on the future trend of doctor-patient relationship (P ＞ 0.05).Many junior medical students were optimistic about the future doctor-patient relationship.Compared with freshmen,sophomore medical students were less optimistic about the future doctor-patient relationship (P ＜ 0.05).Medical students mostly agreed on the causes of medical disputes (P ＞ 0.05),believing that the main reason was the medical system.Conclusions:The cognition of the doctor-patient relationship profoundly affects the junior medical students as well as their choices of future employment and communication styles between patients and them,which may have important significance for avoiding medical disputes.Society,schools and the media should actively create a good atmosphere for the doctor-patient relationship.
