Abstract:
In the era of globalization， medical staff must possess the perspective and concept of cultural diversity， along with the ability and literacy for cross-cultural management. They should break free from the outdated medical cage of the biomedical model， form the new medical vision of the pluralistic medical model， and promote the sublative development of the medical model theory. It is essential to advocate for the prosperous development of disease culturology， face up to the cultural deficiency in disease interpretation under the biomedical model， clarify the cultural “authenticity” in disease definition， correct the pan-medicalization in disease definition， and achieve comfort in disease diagnosis and treatments. In terms of cultivating the cultural soil that promotes the construction of medical humanistic spirits， it is vital to form an inclusive attitude in intercultural interactions and promote the localization of medical humanistic spirits construction. The effective paths for constructing medical humanistic spirits encompass drawing on the strengths of various parties and preserving cross-cultural management literacy， integrating patients’ cultural patterns and implementing the localized situational diagnosis and treatments， as well as building a doctor-patient cultural community and sharing the growth of subjectivity.
