Abstract:
The construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship requires both doctors and patients to bear the corresponding moral responsibilities. Patients’ moral responsibilities refer to the duties that patients should take action and bear the corresponding good and bad consequences to restore their physical or mental health， as well as the good qualities that help patients adapt to and integrate into their patient roles and pursue excellence. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities represents the practical vision and value orientation of patients’ moral responsibility research. Healthy bodies are the direct goal of patients’ moral responsibilities， harmonious interpersonal relationships serve as the basic goal， and good lives represent the core goal. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities returns to the human being， focusing on profound care for real patients and ideal construction. Healthy bodies， harmonious interpersonal relationships， and good lives collectively achieve “good patients”， who are the logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities.
