中医脉诊的人文关怀

Humanistic Care of Pulse Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine

中医脉诊蕴含着丰富的人文关怀元素,能够满足患者诊脉的心理需求。脉诊形式是人文关怀的重要体现,而脉诊部位的改变源自于传统道德观念的变迁。医者的语言、动作、表情和心理变化等能够影响患者的情绪和心理,因此脉诊时医者自身应情绪稳定、专心致志、全神贯注。医者应秉承医患平等、就医平等的原则对待每一位患者;加强医患沟通,表达对患者的关爱友善。医者应不断熟悉脉诊规范,提高技巧技能,通过四诊合参以提高脉诊的准确性。专业规范、准确高效是脉诊医学人文关怀的基石,诊室环境设置、脉诊操作细节等也有一定的医学人文要求。
