Purpose This study aims to investigate the factors and mechanism which influence the doctor’s social and economic benefits from the perspective of social capital. Design/methodology/approach This paper mainly investigates the factors and mechanism influencing the doctor's social and economic benefits from the perspective of social capital and then constructs a doctor's social capital model and discusses the effects of doctor's social capital on their economic and social benefits; what is more, this paper also considers the moderating effect of patients’ group behavior. Findings The results show that the doctor's social capital has a positive and significant effect on doctor's economic benefits, while it has a negative and significant effect on doctors' social benefits. Patients’ group behavior plays an important moderating role; in particular, the number of online patients of doctors can effectively strengthen follow-up patients’ positive perception of the doctor capital, while the number of offline patients has a negative effect on doctors’ economic benefits, but it can reduce its negative impact on doctors’ social benefits by establishing trust between patient and physician. Originality/value This paper enriches the relevant research of social capital theory in the medical field and broadens the research about online health care. For platforms, they should give more attention to doctors and their income issues, which is of great significance for their healthy and sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
The Russian healthcare system provides a set of free and paid diagnostic and therapeutic services. Although, when prescribing additional paid services, a specific doctor is provided with the situation of choice. The doctor is faced with a set of ethical and professional motivators, one of which is paid services as a source of additional medical income. What do doctors do in this situation, what strategies do they choose and what motivates their decision? Conducted and analyzed in-depth interviews (18 interviews, Tver, 2018) with doctors of different specialties revealed several patterns of doctor’s behavior when prescribing paid services. The data analyzed in the tactics of grounded theory allowed the author to build several models of doctor’s behavior, where such choices are associated with certain system of professional and personal values. The described models are conventionally named by author: “Making money”, “Polypragmasia”, “Collegiality”, “Man-System”, “One and a half rates”, “Out of the system”, “Avoidance”.The constructed models of behavior of doctors show that the appointment of additional optional procedures is associated not only with the doctor's desire to earn money, but also can be explained by a more complex combination of reasons, working conditions, formal and informal social norms, as well as the basic values of the doctors themselves.

Full textAbstract:
Background. As a new medical service model, the online health community can integrate various medical resources to the maximum extent and improve the accessibility and utilization rate of hospital high-quality medical resources. Objective. Research based on the characteristics of doctors can enable doctors to display themselves on the network platform better, provide better services for patients, and improve the quality of medical services for doctors. Method. By crawling the characteristic data of doctors in Good Doctor Online, using dynamic analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis, this study explores the relationships between each characteristic data and online consultation volume. Results. The doctor’s title and city level representing the static characteristics of the doctor have a weak impact on the doctor’s online consultation volume, and the doctor’s dynamic characteristics such as the number of patient completions, the number of gifts received, and the number of published articles can have a positive impact on the doctor’s online consultation volume. However, the recommended heat will negatively affect the online consultation volume, and the comment text has no significant impact on the doctor’s online consultation volume. Conclusion. Therefore, doctors should actively publicize and show their professional level and constantly optimize their dynamic characteristics, increasing the number of online consultations and thus improving their influence.

Full textAbstract:
Doctors are a noble profession. The doctor's profession requires expertise and thoroughness, because the work of a physician deals with the health and life of a person. Mistakes by doctors can result in disability or death for the patient, so doctors must work with caution. Doctors suspected of malpractice can not simply be criminalized, because no doctor has a bad faith to harm his patients, so that sanctions are imposed should be able to provide justice for doctors and patients.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether a patient's preference for a doctor's face is associated with better assessments of relational empathy in the patient–doctor relationship after the first clinical consultation. Methods A total of 110 patients enrolled in a traditional Korean medical clinic participated in the study. Patients’ preference for doctors’ faces was assessed by a two alternative forced choice (2AFC) task, with 60 different pairs of six different Asian male doctors’ faces. One of the six doctors then carried out the initial clinical consultation for these patients. The patient–doctor relationship was assessed using the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure. Results The data of all patients’ simulated preferences for a doctor's face and their assessment values of a doctor's relational empathy was compared, and no significant correlation was found between both values (r=−0.024, p>0.809). Conclusions These findings suggest that the perceived empathy in the patient–doctor relationship is not influenced by the patient's preference for a certain doctor's face. The first impression of a doctor is often determined by his appearance and look. However, whether or not the patient particularly prefers a doctor's face does not seem to matter in developing a good patient–doctor relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Online medical team is an emerging online medical model in which patients can choose a doctor to register and consult. A doctor’s reputation cannot be ignored. It is worth studying how that online reputation affects the focal doctor’s appointment numbers on the online medical team. Based on the online reputation mechanism and social interdependence theory, this study empirically studied the impact of the focal doctor’s own reputation and other teammates’ reputation on his/her appointment numbers. Our data include 31,143 doctors from 6103 online expert teams of Guahao.com. The results indicate that for a leader doctor, his/her appointment numbers are not related to his/her own reputation, and there was an inverted U-shaped relationship with the ordinary doctors’ reputations on the team. For an ordinary doctor, his/her appointment numbers were positively correlated with his/her own reputation and positively correlated with his/her leader’s reputation and there was an inverted U-shaped relationship with the other ordinary doctors’ reputations. The research showed that there is a positive spillover effect on the team leader’s reputation. There are two relationships between team doctors: competition and cooperation. This study provides guidance for the leader to select team members and the ordinary doctor to select a team.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Rapid changes in health-care delivery system and sociopolitical climate have resulted in considerable strain on doctor–patient relationship. Doctors’ role is to install positive energy within the patient, through which sick people find relief from suffering. Without it, there continues to be more confusion, fear, and doubt. Objective: This study aims to understand the social dimensions of Iraqi doctor misbehavior and malcommunication with patients. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study, with a tool consisting of two sketch drawings representing an agonizing misbehavior scenario for a female gynecologist encountering a pregnant patient, and a male orthopeditian encountering a disabled male patient. Scenarios were presented to a convenient sample of 155 Iraqi doctors in Baghdad, striking their feelings, to generate rich comments. Results: About two-thirds of doctors were female, and the majority were nonspecialists. Only 7.1% of doctors (with significant gender difference) offered an excuse for the misbehavior. Around 80% of doctors expressed patient sympathy. Scenario understanding showed significant doctors’ gender difference. Two-thirds of doctors stated reasons and suggested solutions for the misbehavior. Main reasons stated were commercialization of medicine (23.8%), loss of today’s doctor humanity (18.1%), and profession power and ability to threat (15.2%). Conclusion: Although doctor–patient misbehavior is not unprevalent, most Iraqi doctors disagree with it. The majority express professional sympathy. Less than tenth of doctors stand by misbehavior, trying to give excuses. Commercialization of medicine, loss of doctor’s humanity, professional power, and malcommunication are emerging challenges for future Iraqi doctor–patient relation.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between doctors and patients has been going on for a long time. A doctoris considered to be someone who gives treatment to people who need it. The legalrelationship between doctors and patients begins with a paternalistic vertical relationshippattern like father and son which departs from the principle of "Father knows best" wherea doctor is considered to be more aware and able to treat the disease suffered by thepatient. The position of doctors is higher than the position of patients and doctors have animportant role in their development. When viewed from the relationship between thedoctor and the patient, the doctor as a professional, with his education and experience isexpected to be able to use his knowledge carefully and responsibly so that he does notbecome negligent, while a patient with a weak position, does not know whether the actionstaken by the doctor are correct or not, can trust and leave the measures for his health tothe doctor, based on the information obtained from the doctor. Such a pattern ofrelationships between doctors and patients has gradually shifted towards a moredemocratic one, namely a horizontal contractual relationship or Joint participation.

Full textAbstract:
T he status of medical doctors is relatively high in society. However, in spite of this acknowledged status, physicians are not aware of the extent to which they have the ability to care for patients or how much effort they should make to meet people’s expectations. Therefore, we should examine what society asks of doctors and how doctors need to be educated to meet the expectations of society. In this article, the author asserts that physicians need four skills. First, doctors should know how to speak and communicate. In the work of a doctor, language is the most important for tasks such as understanding texts, communication with patients, analyzing data, and starting new projects. Second, doctors should have intuition. In a doctor’s medical judgment, intuition is very important and it can initiate from an educated guess. In other words, good intuition can be developed based on a good educated guess, which in turn can derive from one’s explored knowledge, communication with one’s inner dialogues, and good interpretation skill. Third, doctors should have creativity. Doctors should produce an image about patients from intuition, and those intuitions are based on creativity. Usually, students in medical school have creative ability; therefore, the instructor should facilitate their learning to connect this creativity to free imagination ability and medical skills. Fourth, doctors should be humane. Patients want to communicate with doctors about their disease and further about their lives. The reason why a humane doctor is important is that this humane approach itself could cure patients and reduce their pain. When a doctor’s humane attitude is realized in the hospital, the patients and doctors could be pleased sincerely.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses healthcare interactions involving doctors, migrant patients and ‘intercultural mediators’ who provide interpreting services. Our study is based on a collection of 300 interactions involving two language pairs, Arabic–Italian and English–Italian. The analytical framework includes conversation analysis combined with insights from social systems theory. We look at question-answer sequences, where (1) the doctors ask questions about patients’ problems or history, (2) the doctors’ questions are responded to and (3) the doctor closes the sequence, moving on to another question. We analyse the ways in which mediators help doctors design questions for patients and patients understand and eventually respond to the doctors’ design. While the doctor’s question design aims at obtaining details which are relevant for the patients’ care, it is argued that collecting such details involves complex interactional work. In particular, doctors need help in displaying their attention to their patients’ problems and in guiding patients’ responses into medically relevant directions. Likewise, patients need help in reacting appropriately. Mediators help manage communicative uncertainty both by showing the doctor’s interest in what the patient says, and by exploring and rendering the patient’s incomplete, extended and ambiguous answers to the doctor’s questions.

Full textAbstract:
A doctor is not just an expert to consult when sick but must be willing to explain the patient's condition data properly and honestly. In Indonesia today, fake doctor's certificates are easy to obtain both through offline sales and online sales because doctor's certificates have a simple form so that doctors and people who are not doctors can easily make them. The purpose of this study was to determine the criminal liability and code of ethics of doctors who falsify patient data. The research method used is the normative legal research method, this method describes the problems that occur and is associated with legal theory and then is also associated with the applicable legal rules. Legal consequences for doctors who commit criminal acts if there is falsification of patient data by doctors. The legal consequences received by doctors who falsify patient health data in terms of criminal law. From a criminal perspective, what often happens is related to Article 267 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (making fake letters or falsifying patient data) if doctors falsify letters or data, they are punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 4 years in prison.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the mechanism of certification of doctors. A comparative characterization of the legislative framework, which regulates the certification of doctors, was carried out. It was found that the certification, which in its essence should be an assessment of the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the doctor, in practice is only the submission of documents confirming the obtained points of continuous professional development. A comprehensive approach is proposed in the form of increasing the requirements for doctors who are certified, taking into account during the certification of complaints received by doctors during their professional activities, and creating a mechanism for lowering and withdrawing qualification categories and the certificate of a specialist doctor. Conclusions. The data analyzed in the article indicate that the assigned qualification does not always correspond to the level of training of doctors, which gives an understanding of the need for changes in the system of attestation of doctors, which will ensure the establishment of correspondence between the level of the qualification category and the actual level of the doctor’s qualification. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is necessary in the form of increasing the requirements for certified doctors, taking into account during the certification of complaints received by doctors during their professional activities, creating a mechanism for lowering and withdrawing qualification categories or a certificate of a specialist doctor, which will have a positive effect on improving the quality of certification of doctors and, as a result, to improve the quality of medical care in general.

Full textAbstract:
The issue of the continuous improvement of professional qualifications by medical doctors is of utmost importance both from the point of view of doctors and their patients. Acquiring new knowledge and skills is an important element of a doctor’s professional career. A doctor who raises his qualifications guarantees better medical care for a patient. The professional self-governing body of doctors constitutes a significant element in the postgraduate education of doctors. It participates in the education of interns and in the procedure of acquiring the title of specialist. It also supervises and organizes the process of doctors’ mandatory continuous education. A majority of the tasks related to doctors’ professional education is performed by regional chambers. The Wielkopolska Medical Chamber organizes training sessions and courses for its members, which are one of the forms of fulfilling the requirement of professional improvement, reimburses a portion of the costs borne by the doctors in connection with improving their professional qualifications, and it establishes cooperation with domestic and foreign academic institutions to provide doctors from Wielkopolska with an opportunity to partake in training. These activities of the medical association, combined with the organs of professional liability of doctors, allow the patients to hope that when visiting a doctor they encounter a specialist who will take the utmost care of them.

Journal of Clinical Oncology 30, no. 15_suppl (May 20, 2012): 9036. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2012.30.15_suppl.9036.
Full textAbstract:
9036 Background: Providing information is an important element of cancer care. While several studies have investigated patients' information desire, to our knowledge, this study is the first to involve patients facing an actual decision. We examined the information desire of patients at the point of decision making, the ability of doctors to judge this desire, and the information provided by the doctor. Methods: This prospective multicenter study included patients with advanced colorectal or breast cancer faced with the decision whether or not to pursue second-line chemotherapy. Patients received the usual treatment-related information from the doctor plus a decision aid from a nurse. The aid contained information on adverse events, tumor response, and survival. For each item, the nurse asked the patient whether the information was desired and whether it had been disclosed by the doctor and the doctor made a substitute judgment of the patient’s information desire on the inclusion form. The match between patient’s desire and doctor’s judgment was expressed in percentage agreement and agreement corrected for chance (κ). Results: By 01/2012, 71 patients had received the decision aid. Median age was 62 years (range 39-80), 38% were male, and 28% had college education or higher. Information on adverse events, tumor response, and survival was desired by 94%, 90%, and 73% of patients. The doctors judged that information desire would be 100%, 97%, and 81%, respectively. There was a poor match between doctor’s judgment and actual information desire for adverse events (94%, κ not applicable), tumor response (87%, κ = -0.049), and survival (61%, κ = -0.104). When asked whether the information was previously disclosed by the doctor, 73%, 57%, and 30% of patients answered affirmatively. Conclusions: Patients expressed a high information desire, which was accurately judged by the doctors. However, doctors were unable to judge an individual patient’s information desire beyond chance. According to the patients, doctors did not disclose all desired information, especially on survival. Decision aids, similar to those used here, have been shown to help doctors provide safe, effective, and timely information to patients.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to explore the information-seeking behavior of female patients engaged in doctor shopping. An investigation was conducted on the following aspects: the reasons for doctor-shopping behavior (DSB), patients’ information needs and sources, patients’ use of the obtained information and the degree of satisfaction with the information collected. Design/methodology/approach In-depth interviews were conducted in this study. In total, 30 female participants who lived or worked in the Taipei metropolitan area, Taiwan, were recruited. Findings Dissatisfaction with treatment, confirmation of illness conditions, inconvenient treatment locations and hours and dissatisfaction with doctor’s attitude were the main reasons for DSB. Family members, friends, the internet and mass media were sources of information for participants when they sought second and successive doctors. In most cases, the degree of satisfaction toward the obtained information increased after each visit to a doctor during the doctor-shopping journey. However, not all participants shared information with doctors. The participants suggested that detailed explanations provided by doctors and better communication with doctors may reduce the occurrence of doctor shopping. Originality/value The findings of this study help medical personnel better understand DSB. The findings revealed the significance of information to patients and indicated that the information collected during doctor shopping is beneficial for patients.

Full textAbstract:
South Koreaʼs medical system is dualized into Western medicine and oriental medicine, and accordingly, the doctorʼs license and oriental medical doctorʼs license system are in operation. Until now, the Supreme Court has judged the criteria for determining whether an unlicensed medical practice is established for the use of diagnostic medical devices by oriental doctors as follows. First, the legislative purpose of the dual medical system, Second, the provisions and purposes of laws related to the medical practice, Third, the academic principles underlying the medical practice, and Fourth, the course, purpose, and appearance of the medical practice, Fifth, it is necessary to comprehensively consider whether medical schools and oriental medicine universities have secured expertise through curriculum or national tests, and to make a reasonable judgment in light of social norms. However, the recent Supreme Court's Decision 2016Do21314 Decided December 22, 2022 ruled that oriental doctorsʼs using an ultrasound diagnostic device did not constitute unlicensed medical practice. The criteria for judging the majority opinion of the en banc judgment are as follows. First, the relevant laws and regulations should prohibit oriental medical doctors from using the medical device. Second, in light of the characteristics of the device and the level of basic and professional knowledge and technology required for its use, oriental medicine doctors should use it as an auxiliary means of diagnosis. Third, in light of the circumstances, purpose, and appearance of the entire medical practice, it should be considered whether it is clear that the use of the diagnostic device by oriental doctors is irrelevant to the application and application of it based on the principle of oriental medical practice. Fourth, from the perspective of criminal justice, the meaning of oriental medical practice should be clearly and strictly interpreted from the perspective of oriental medicine doctors, it was judged that diagnostic medical devices should be excluded from criminal punishment unless it is clear that they are not related to the principle of oriental medical practice. The use of medical devices by oriental doctors presupposes or links to oriental doctorsʼ diagnosis and treatment behavior, and diagnosis has a significant role in determining whether to treat or not and setting treatment methods. This paper aims to reduce the possibility of harm associated with medical accidents and help establish a reasonable doctor and oriental medical doctor license system by comprehensively examining diagnostic medical devices that have been mainly problematic.

Full textAbstract:
Background, aims and objectives: We investigated the effects of perceived trustworthiness based on doctors’ faces on economic and medical decisions in an experimental setting using expanded versions of Trust Games. Methods: First, participants indicated how much they trusted the doctor on the screen in a game in which trust was measured by whether they made a monetary investment. Next, participants were exposed to a fixed level of pain and indicated the degree to which they trusted the doctor to treat their pain as measured by whether they took medicine or chose to be treated by the doctor. Results: The choice probability of participants making the investment and seeking treatment from the doctor increased as the perceived trustworthiness of the doctor’s face increased. The effect of impressions of doctors’ trustworthiness was greater in medical decisions than in economic decisions. Conclusion: Visual impressions of doctors’ trustworthiness affected both economic and medical decisions in Trust Games, reflecting a greater influence on participants in medical decision-making situations than in economic decision-making situations. The perceived trustworthiness of doctors may be related to the responsiveness of patients with respect to the effectiveness of treatments.

Doctors are usually needed to work at every hospital and emergency center every now and then. But it is not feasible for every doctor to be available at every place at desired time. The problem with video calling is that video calls need to be done from a PC or laptop on a desk. This limits the doctor’s capacity to view patient or around operation theatre at will or even move through hospital rooms as needed. To help solve this issue we here develop a virtual doctor robot that allows a doctor to virtually move around at a remote location at will and even talk to people at remote location as desired. This robot provides a whole lot of advantages for doctors: Doctors’ ability to be at anyplace anytime, Doctors can move around in operation theatres, Doctors can move around the patient with ease, Doctors can see medical reports remotely via video calls, Doctors can move around in other rooms at will. The system makes use of a robotic vehicle with 4-wheel drive for easy navigation. The robot also includes a controller box for circuitry and a mounting to hold a mobile phone or tablet. The mobile or tablet is used to hold live video calls. The doctor can use an IOT based panel to control the robot. The control commands sent online are received by the robot controller. The robot controller operates over Wi-Fi internet. The commands are received in real time andthe robot motors are operated to achieve the desired movement commands.

Introduction: Due to the fact that Ukraine has not formally established tariffs for medical services and their complexity factors and the doctor’s remuneration system continues to exist on the basis of the “equalization” principle, we propose a scientifically based mechanism for determining the rate of labor intensity of hospital doctors and adequate the level of increase salary in accordance with the DRG. The purpose of the study: Because of, the level of labor of residents of the inpatient departments of the inpatient department of health facilities of the II and III levels is not the same, then based on the analysis of the number of treated patients in accordance with the DRG, the degree of complexity of the disease, their score, determine the level of labor intensity of doctors and real the size of their wages. Materials and methods: Based on the recommendations of the doctoral dissertation and a number of innovative medical and economic standards, analysis of a significant number of otolaryngologicalpatients, the use of the CSG, DRG system, the distribution of patients with a degree of complexity, their score, the algorithm for applying the above organizational standards, criteria and standards, and the use of timing. The technology of determining the individual level of the doctor’s labor intensity factors and an adequate level of its material stimulation has been developed. Results: Recommended technologies for using the aforementioned prerequisites, the need to create appropriate computer programs to simplify the analysis of individual doctors' work results, using the formulas presented in the article made it possible to determine both the degree of workload for a doctor and the level of possible increase in his salary. Conclusions: The algorithm for determining the coefficient of labor intensity of doctors and the mechanism for calculating the real cost of their labor in the treatment of specific patients of varying degrees of complexity can be used as a technological matrix for doctors of other medical specialties, in the future it will increase the material incentives of the latter at least to the level of family doctors.

AI doctors are expected to be of great significance to the progress of medical diagnosis and treatment. Reasonable use of artificial intelligence doctors can improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment. A market niche about AI doctor was discovered in this paper. In order to accurately understand the market prospect of artificial intelligence doctors, based on past literature research and combined with questionnaire data survey, the advantages, disadvantages, and development of artificial intelligence doctors are analyzed. As a result, the limitation will be the high price caused by high production cost, lack of information and the consumers’ worries about the accuracy of AI doctor’s diagnosis. However, the limitations may be settled by lowering the cost, appropriate popularizing and enhancing the working efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Doctors’ self-disclosures to patients are an important dynamic in consultations. These can be categorised as unavoidable, inadvertent or deliberate. It is important in facilitating therapeutic outcomes to reflect on the types of messages unavoidably communicated by the doctor’s appearance, speech and practice and consulting room environments, and to recognise self-disclosures caused by disruptive doctor transferences, so these transferences can be processed and minimised. Deliberate choices by doctors to disclose personal information and experiences are common. Without awareness and understanding, this can be unhelpful. Guidelines are provided to facilitate self-disclosures that build the doctor–patient relationship and improve therapeutic outcomes.

The relationship between doctors and patients is no longer seen as a mere relationship of trust, the relationship has been seen as a contractual relationship. The relationship between doctor and patient is an agreement known as a therapeutic transaction. Doctors as members of professions that devote their knowledge to the public interest have freedom and independence-oriented to human values in accordance with the medical code of ethics. The medical code of ethics is regulated in the Indonesian Medical Ethics Code (KODEKI). The doctor's profession is required to work professionally and uphold the Code of Medical Ethics in carrying out his profession. However, there are some doctors who do not do their profession professionally. One of them, the case of Doctor Bimanesh Sutarjo allegedly cooperating to falsify Setya Novato's suspect to the hospital to be hospitalized with medical data that was allegedly manipulated in such a way as to avoid calls and checks by KPK investigators. Therefore, the authors are interested in writing this journal so that we understand better about the violations and law enforcement against KODEKI violations.Keywords: Indonesian Medical Ethics Code (KODEKI), doctors, Doctor Bimanesh

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the role of doctors who worked in ancient Japan was examined in detail by dividing them into domestic and overseas. First of all, the Tengyoryo doctor was in charge of the treatment and examination of the imperial family and management, and was dispatched to Daigakuryo and Kuraryo. In addition, doctors were installed in departments that escorted the emperor or defended the palace, and strategic points such as Dazaifu and Tsushima. In addition, doctors were trained in the provinces to treat the people affected by the epidemic. Looking at this, it can be seen that domestic doctors faithfully performed the role of “examining and treating all diseases” as stipulated in the Ritsuryo.
Subsequently, Engishiki lists the combination drugs and herbal medicines paid to the envoys, and the doctors in the envoys judged that they would have used these drugs to treat other envoys who were sick. Doctors dispatched to Bokkai took a lot of medicine compared to doctors dispatched to Tang and Silla because the voyage between Japan and Bokkai was so rough. And it could be seen that it was the doctor's main job to treat a group of envoys suffering from various diseases caused by a rough voyage. And it was found that the doctor's medical skills at the time were very excellent in that even highly toxic herbicides were used.
In conclusion, ancient Japanese doctors were very active in various ways, not only in the central government and provinces but also abroad, and were very actively engaged in treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The paper provides a corpus-based semantic analysis of patients’ opinions on doctors published on the ZnanyLekarz.pl web portal. The analysis is aimed at depicting the medical professionals’ traits and behaviours that patients interpret as expressions of empathy. The fi ndings suggest that while patients value the doctor’s empathy, they perceive it as a relatively rare quality in doctors. The sphere where empathy manifests itself to the greatest extent is undoubtedly doctor–patient communication: unhurried interview, active listening, explaining the course of the necessary medical procedures, responding to the patient’s questions, showing emotional support. Although the fi ndings coincide with the recommendations found in the communication guides addressed to doctors, taking into account the perspective of the patient is necessary, since patients’ perception of empathy may not correlate perfectly with doctors’ self-assessment.

Practicing doctors in Medan City obtain permits through the Medan City Investment and One Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP). The information contained in the institution is still in tabular form and does not provide a clear geographical description of the location of the licensed doctor. So, we need a geographic information system regarding the location of the doctor's license to practice with a special location, namely Medan City. This study uses Leaflet for map visualization and also GeoJSON as a format for encoding geographic data structures. With this system, it can provide information about practicing doctors to the public about the distribution of practicing doctors in the city of Medan and can help facilitate the activities of the Medan City DPMPTSP in monitoring the location of practicing doctors who have permits.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The paper shows that despite a legal right to gender equality and feminization of medical professions, women doctors are demonstrated to face challenges in their professional activities so far: a woman doctor's wage is by far lower compared to that of a male doctor; there remains the influence of the “glass ceiling” and gender stereotypes that limits the free potential realization of women doctors in the profession, especially in surgical specialties and in leadership positions. AIM: To determine a female doctor's status in modern Russian healthcare, as well as to evaluate gender inequality among doctors based on a survey conducted among medical students, residents, and doctors. METHODS: The authors drew up a questionnaire and surveyed medical students, residents, and doctors to estimate the position of a woman doctor in modern Russian medical society. RESULTS: The majority of the respondents consider gender inequality to exist in medicine; they have encountered the existing stereotypes at work. Tackling the gender discrimination problem by talking to an offender turned out to be the main solution. It is noted that one of the gender stereotypes is associated with the multifunctional social role of women, which causes others to question women's choice of medical profession. At the same time, the majority of respondents believe that building a career in medicine alongside having a family is difficult for both women and men; 30% of respondents say that women experience more difficulties. It is reported that women, unlike men, consider gender a limiting factor when choosing a narrow specialization. The desire to get a leadership position is more common among men (70% of men and 59% of women). The main reason for the reluctance is indifference to leadership positions. The majority of respondents (78%) are not ready to introduce feminitives to ensure gender-inclusive medical professions titles. Despite gender discrimination against female doctors, the majority of respondents (61%) positively assess the future achievement of absolute gender equality in Russian healthcare. CONCLUSION: The paper concluded the position of a woman doctor in Russia is still far from being respectable and poorly compared to that of a male doctor.

Aim. To analyze, revise and supplement important professional qualities of a future doctor in the context of digitalization.Material and methods. The study involved 74 1st year students of General Medicine faculty of Krasnoyarsk State Medical University. A doctor’s selfassessment form was used, which includes a list of important professional qualities (IPQs) of a doctor in three blocks. The ranking method was used to measure the significance of doctor’s IPQs, taking into account the preferences of students. An assessment of the IPQs of future specialists was carried out using a heuristic evaluation method based on self-assessments, classmates’ and expert assessments. Mathematical data processing was carried out using Excell.Results. The analysis showed that 82,14% of future specialists identified the first rank of IPQ block as contributing to development of professional culture of doctors. The second rank was assigned by 67,86% to IPQ block related to social responsiveness of doctors, while 75% of students assigned the third rank to IPQ block related to information competence. According to the average value of heuristic self-assessments, the IPQs of social responsiveness of a doctor are optimally formed (5,72), while the IPQs of working with information (4,27) and doctor professional culture (3,50) are underdeveloped.Conclusion. Despite the digitalization of medicine, the social role of a doctor remains the same. The conducted research has revealed the following tendencies. Future specialists understand the demand for IPQs that contribute to the social responsiveness of doctors. Students recognize that they have the IPQs necessary to interact with patients at an optimal level. Underdeveloped IPQs were those related to working with data, digital etiquette, and practical experience of working in the digital space. In addition, it was revealed that the IPQs related to the development of doctor professional culture are insufficiently formed. The list of the doctor’s IPQs was revised and supplemented with new competencies related to digital interaction.

Massive electronic health records (EHRs) enable the success of learning accurate patient representations to support various predictive health applications. In contrast, doctor representation was not well studied despite that doctors play pivotal roles in healthcare. How to construct the right doctor representations? How to use doctor representation to solve important health analytic problems? In this work, we study the problem on clinical trial recruitment, which is about identifying the right doctors to help conduct the trials based on the trial description and patient EHR data of those doctors. We propose Doctor2Vec which simultaneously learns 1) doctor representations from EHR data and 2) trial representations from the description and categorical information about the trials. In particular, Doctor2Vec utilizes a dynamic memory network where the doctor's experience with patients are stored in the memory bank and the network will dynamically assign weights based on the trial representation via an attention mechanism. Validated on large real-world trials and EHR data including 2,609 trials, 25K doctors and 430K patients, Doctor2Vec demonstrated improved performance over the best baseline by up to 8.7% in PR-AUC. We also demonstrated that the Doctor2Vec embedding can be transferred to benefit data insufficiency settings including trial recruitment in less populated/newly explored country with 13.7% improvement or for rare diseases with 8.1% improvement in PR-AUC.

Background: The mutual trust between doctor and patient, an indispensable part of the healthcare, is weakening day by day. This has resulted in unwanted incidences of violence and attacks on doctors. Communication between doctors and patients is an integral part of the relationship and is one of the major determinants of mutual trust. Apart from the knowledge and skills required to treat a disease, communication skill is an indispensable part of a doctor’s professional life. The resident doctors do not get a chance to learn and implement the communication skills required for the doctor patient relationship.Methods: An interventional study was carried out amongst 377 resident doctors of first to third year, from randomly selected medical colleges of Maharashtra having postgraduate courses in clinical subjects and affiliated to Maharashtra University of Medical Sciences, Nashik, Maharashtra during the period of February 2017 to January 2019.Results: There was significant difference in the pre and post test scores for quantified knowledge in relation to training in communication skills (p<0.0001), and also significant difference in the pre and post test scores for quantified knowledge in relation to basic doctor patient relationship, suggesting that the intervention was effective in improving the communication skills.Conclusions: The study has shown that there was significant difference in the pre and post test scores for quantified knowledge in relation to being doctor, basics of communication skills, doctor patient relationship, communication in special situation, and training in communication skills.

Full textAbstract:
The field of Health Law recognizes Therapeutic Transactions as an agreement between a doctor and a patient, granting authority to the doctor to provide healthcare services to the patient based on their expertise and skills. Therapeutic transactions take the form of informed consent or approval of medical procedures before they are carried out. Informed consent involves the doctor explaining to the patient the condition of their illness and the medical procedures intended to address it, in the doctor's efforts to achieve recovery. Research findings indicate that informed consent plays a crucial role in the relationship between doctors and patients, serving as written evidence of the agreement between the doctor and the patient before medical procedures are undertaken. Informed consent can serve as the basis for proving whether a patient accepts or refuses a medical procedure, providing protection to the doctor. Legal protection for doctors is obtained as long as they carry out procedures in accordance with professional standards and operational procedures. For doctors, informed consent provides a sense of security when performing medical procedures on patients and can be used as a means of self-defense against potential claims or lawsuits from patients or their families if the medical procedure results in unintended consequences. Legal measures that doctors can take in the event of an undesired outcome related to medical procedures include attempting mediation with the patient first. If mediation fails or lacks good faith, the resolution may proceed through the legal system.

The aim of this study is to suggest the optimum number and schedule of doctors at the OPD (Out-Patient Department) of Gastrology of a hospital in Pakistan. In order to achieve this aim, the discrete event simulation model is developed to minimize waiting time of patients. Data is collected for one week from the OPD; Data collection variables are arrival and service rate of patients, their salaries/income, patient‘s OPD fee, doctor’s charges/patient, service time of patients at each of service channel i.e. reception, triage and doctors’ cabin. Stop watch is used for recording the service time of patients. Input analyzer is used to reveal the distribution of the data. Rockwell arena software version 14.5 is used to model and simulate the queuing system of the outpatient department. Scenario analysis is conducted in four scenarios; in each of the scenario doctors were assumed to be seated for one additional hour. During the period of data collection, it is observed that most of the patients are coming with an appointment of doctors therefore, it is not justified to suggest the hiring of new doctor; especially when patients are coming for the particular doctor; therefore, already available doctors are suggested to be seated longer in the OPD; that is the way to serve the maximum number of patients in the virtual queue of patients that has been kept waiting for having an appointment and for their turn to see the doctor.

Aim. To study the features and to define the fundamental principles of rational training of the highly skilled specialist doctor in the Republic of Tajikistan. Methods. Complex analysis of the doctor’s formation and training process was performed. Data from the ambulatory, hospital and highly specialized medical care segments, academic faculties, teaching and clinical centers of family medicine of the Republic of Tajikistan were examined. 256 tutors and student doctors trained in the educational institutions of the Republic of Tajikistan from 2000 to 2012 were questioned. Results. 90 (35.2%) out of 256 doctors have changed their specialty, among them 48 (18.8%) - once, 26 (10.2%) - twice, 12 (4.9%) - 3 times, 3 (1.3%) doctors - 4 times and more. The average share of the current specialty experience from the total medical experience was equal to 84.3%. Over a half of the doctors (137 out of 256, 53.5%) were working for one employer in their career, the rest (119 out of 256, 46.5%) have changed the job, among them: 36 (30.3%) - once, 10 (8.4%) - twice, 9 (7.6%) - three times and more. Specialty changes hindered the aggrandizement. A share of the doctors having the higher qualification grade increased with the overall experience and the experience on the given specialty. 65 out of 256 (25.4%) doctors had the qualification degree, among them: 15 (5.9%) - highest degree, 34 (13.3%) - first degree, 16 (6.2%) - second degree. The number of the doctors with highest qualification degree was higher by 8.0% in doctors with 1-10 years of specialty experience and by 39.4% in doctors with specialty experience over 20 years. Conclusion. Constant regular work for one employer favored the specialist formation, whilst frequent job change halts the doctor’s «anchoring» in one exact specialty and hampers the professional growth.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The relevance of studying professional thinking in the context of higher medical education is determined by theoretical and practical significance of the problem, which has an epistemological, not ontological nature: the formation of doctor’s professional clinical thinking. The article presents the findings of an empirical study of psychological patterns underlying the correlation between styles and types of thinking among medical students, attending physicians, and doctors in academic and professional activities. The purpose of the article is to identify the dynamics of relationships between styles and types of thinking among doctors at different stages of their professional development. Materials and Methods. Stylistic and typological features of doctors’ thinking were established by analyzing acmeological and psychological mechanisms of professionals’ creative thinking in the context of a metacognitive approach. Based on the resource approach to understanding the phenomenon of professional thinking, clinical thinking is considered as the highest cognitive process of searching, detecting and resolving problems, identifying externally unspecified, implicit properties of the cognizable and transformed medical situation. The following methods were used: A.K. Belousova’s ‘Styles of thinking inventory’ and V.A. Ganzen, K.B. Malyshev, L.V. Oginets’s ‘Method of identifying the type of thinking and the level of creativity’. Results. The authors have revealed the interrelation between styles and types of thinking of medical students, attending physicians and doctors. It was established that the dominant type and style of medical students, attending physicians and doctors’ thinking are the imaginative type of thinking and the practical style of thinking. The authors clarified and described the dynamics of interrelations between thinking styles and types in medical students, attending physicians and doctors. It varies depending on the stage of doctor’s professionalization. The psychological peculiarities of typical and stylistic characteristics of doctor's thinking were revealed. The authors summarized the connection of doctors' creative abilities with leading styles and types of thinking and described the resources of professionalization of clinical thinking. Conclusions. The article presents the understanding of doctor’s professional thinking as a type of thinking, whose laws are based on general laws of thinking, but follow the specifics of medical activities. It is shown that the connections between the styles and types of doctor’s thinking acquire quantitative and qualitative peculiarities at the certain stages of doctor’s professional development.

Objective: to study the attitude of doctors and patients of the central district hospital to the use of digital medicine technologies. Material and methods. The study was conducted by a questionnaire survey. 43 doctors and 213 patients of the central district hospital were asked to assess the possibilities of digital tools in solving health problems, the degree of use of Internet platforms in the process of doctor-patient interaction, the level of influence of the Internet on patients' adherence to doctor's recommendations. Results. Only 14.0% of doctors and 5.2% of patients believe that digital technologies can help solve the problem of staff shortage. Currently, 65.1 % of doctors and 23.9% of patients use digital technologies in communication in the doctor-patient system. 55.8% of doctors stated the desire of patients to get information about treatment in Internet sources, but 97.7% of patients trust doctors more than recommendations on the Internet. Among the possible ways of using digital technologies in medicine, patients see the design of referrals (61.0%), prescriptions (50.2%), temporary disability sheets, certificates (29.6%). Conclusions. Most representatives of both the medical community and patients do not see digital technologies as a way to radically solve the problems of personnel shortage in rural areas: only 32.6% of doctors and 19.7% of patients consider it possible to increase the availability of medical care through telemedicine, only 23% of patients considered remote consultations to be in demand. First of all, the prospects of digitalization of healthcare, according to patients, are associated with the optimization of the issuance of documents in the provision of medical care.

In the digital age, people are confronted with new emerging communicative practices. Doctors as a professional group are not spared from this. For some time now, doctor rating portals have been developing, which present doctors with a new situation of being rated by patients on the Internet. In addition, the doctor rating portals encourage doctors to contact their patients online. With this in mind, our article focuses on negative reviews of gynaecologists that were published by patients on the jameda.de portal. The main goal is to answer the question of how doctors react to negative comments from patients that may threaten their image. The corpus of the study includes over 70 negative reviews and over 70 responses from physicians. That being said, the article characterizes medical reactions to negative evaluations and examines them from the perspective of speech act theory. We pay particular attention to the expressive speech acts REGRET, EXCUSE (ONESELF), THANK and WISH, which are remarkably frequent in the corpus. They serve to defuse the conflicting situation that has arisen as a result of negative evaluation and to save the doctor’s image despite negative evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
We reveal the specificity of anthroponymicon of doctors-foreigners in the Dostoevsky’s works. The writer’s appeal to the image of a doctor is due to the desire of F.M. Dostoevsky to answer the question whether a person of this profession is only a healer of the body or can act as a healer of the soul and even spirit. Reflections on the purpose of the doctor dictated by the F.M. Dostoevsky biography: in the field of medicine worked not only the writer's father – M.A. Dostoevsky, but also his great-uncle V.M. Kotelnitsky. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of anthroponymic vocabulary used for doctors nominations. Doctors’ list of names in Dostoevsky's literary texts is socially and nationally determined, as well as chronotopical: the abundance of foreign anthroponyms is a vivid characteristic of the era depicted by the writer, when medical practice was conducted by specialists who came from other countries. F.M. Dostoevsky creates anthroponyms according to traditional models typical for a particular language. At the same time, he uses an easily disclosed etymology, in connection with which many foreign surnames can be attributed to “eloquent” and comic, contributing to the creation of an incompetent and strange doctor’s image. Another common technique of onomastic Dostoevsky’s laboratory is the assimilation of foreign name with Russian – with the aim of reducing or disclosure of the doctor’s image.

Full textAbstract:
The first part of the article synthetically presents the Old Testament Israelites’ attitude to doctors and their activities. It is an essential prerequisite for the depiction of the innovative approach to the issue proposed by Sirach in Sir 38:1-15. Subsequently, the translation of the text’s Greek version into Polish is presented and the pericope’s structure is divided into four parts: I. 38:1-3 – respect for the doctor, II. 38:4-8 – the value of medicine, III. 38:9-11 – the relation of the sick to God, and IV. 38:12-15 – the doctor’s role in treating the sick. The present article is devoted to the exegetico-theological analysis of the first part of the Greek version of Sir 38:1-15, that is of 38:1-3. Even though the article is based primarily on the Greek text of the verses, it takes into account its original Hebrew version as well. Sirach calls the believing Israelites to completely change their perception of doctors and their activities. He encourages his readers not to reject doctors but to treat them with respect and reverence, and, indirectly, not to ignore the doctor’s efforts meant to restore health to the sick one. The sage justifies his novel approach with two arguments. First, doctors were created by God and given the task of aiding the sick in their suffering. They are a mere tool in God’s hands, for God is the only Doctor that can truly heal a person (this aspect is emphasized more by the Hebrew than by the Greek text). Secondly, doctors deserve respect for even kings and dignitaries benefit from their service and treat them with respect and reverence. In 38:1-3 Sirach offers a perfect synthesis of Israel’s traditional belief in God, who is the only doctor able to heal a person, with the Hellenistic influence related to medicine and the people who dabble in it.

Currently, researchers face with various situations related to the moral situation in healthcare. This article is based on the results of a sociological reasearch conducted by specialists of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Center for Health and Medical Prevention in 2015–2019.Given the relevance of this topic, researchers compare the opinions of modern doctors and patients to ethical principles. Purpose of the study. To study the attitude of modern doctors and patients of medical institutions to the classical norms of medical ethics. Materials and methods. For the selection of respondents was used the representative sample based on gender and age of respondents (for the selection of patients), and by specialty of a medical workers (for doctors). Information collected by survey. Descriptive statistics were used to interpret the results, statistically significant differences between the rates were determined by Fischer`s exact test. Results. The results indicate that there are statistically significant differences in the attitude of doctors and patients to some classic norms of medical ethics. In general, doctors often have an unambiguous opinion about the principles of bioethics; patients are more lenient about the principles of bioethics. However, sometimes patients are more categorical about some aspects of the principles of bioethics. In particular, these include the ambiguous opinions of doctors regarding the judgment that “if the doctor realizes that the patient has been harmed as a result of unlawful acts, he must report this to the internal affairs bodies”, as well as the opinions of doctors about the admissibility of accepting gifts from the patient. Conclusions. The classical principles of bioethics preserve functionality and form the necessary attitude of doctors and patients to the ethical foundations of the doctor’s professional activities. Nevertheless, some aspects of these relationships are partially dysfunctional and can become a source of negative behavior in the system of relations between a doctor and a patient.

Introduction: Medical action is a doctor's action toward a patient which includes preventive, diagnostic, curative, or rehabilitative measures. The medical action certainly brings legal consequences, so a doctor is legally responsible for the medical actions he takes, including the act of delaying and terminating life support.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to examine and analyze the responsibility of doctors for the act of delaying and terminating life support for terminal patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the obstacles and solutions.Methods of the Research: This research approach is normative juridical with secondary data as the main data obtained through literature study and will be analyzed qualitatively.Results of the Research: This study found that doctors who are negligent and guilty when performing acts of delaying and discontinuing life support can be prosecuted for criminal, civil, administrative and professional ethical responsibility. The enactment of a ministerial-level regulation that regulates this action provides legal protection for doctors, where there is a change in the way of making decisions on medical actions so that the doctor's legal responsibility turns into a collective or corporate responsibility. However, the implementation of the regulation still has various shortcomings, so legal protection for doctors is not optimal.
