英美医学生伦理困境及教育问题研究简介

An Introduction to Ethical Dilemmas of British and American Medical Students and Their Medical Ethics Education

英美学者研究认为,医学生在医学院校学习和临床培训期间,由于其身份地位、文化冲突以及医疗管理等方面的原因而经历的种种伦理困境,易于使他们陷入情感和心理的困扰、信仰和行为的冲突、理想和现实的矛盾之中,并最终导致其价值观和伦理原则的损害。他们呼吁教育工作者应当承担起帮助学生应对复杂的矛盾问题以及学习职业伦理困境的处理经验的责任。这些成果对深入研究和积极探索我国医学伦理教育的有效路径具有重要的借鉴意义。

British and American researchers hold the fact that medical students incline to be haunted with emotional and mental problems, religion and behavior conflicts, as well as the ideal and realistic contradictions. All these problems are resulted from all kinds of ethical dilemmas they experienced during their studies and clinical trainings in medical schools, due to their different identities, status, cultural backgrounds and medical managements. These problems can destroy the values and ethical principles of these medical students. To solve the problems, the researchers appeal to educators to shoulder on the responsibility to help the students to deal with the complicated problems and learn how to compromise in ethical dilemmas. The author believed these conclusions could be taken as an important reference to further study medical ethical education in China.
