Description
Summary:碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 行為科學研究所碩士班 === 92 === This study data was collected by in-depth interview from the interns of the teaching hospital in Taiwan. It’s purposes are to understand the experiences of interns’ doctor-patient interaction and their perceptions of doctor-patient relationship. Finally, eleven interns were interviewed. The result revealed that interns have analogous family background and educational formation. From interns’ experiences, the researcher found that doctor still dominate the way of doctor-patient interaction, and interns have a fear of medical malpractice. And limited life experiences, lack of training in social skills, the intern’s ambiguous role in the medical setting and the absence of support from clinical teachers affect the relationship between intern and patients, especially in restricting intern-patient interaction. Well planned clinical training program, increasing discussion with supervisors and helping professional training program would be helpful. In addition, inviting other specialists to join the doctor training program, such as social worker and psychologist, would give interns a different perspective on understanding human being. Observing demonstration by clinical teachers and having experiences of illness themselves can also help interns learn how to better interact with patients. Furthermore, medical humanity curriculum and in-service training on how to teach would promote clinical education.
