防治新冠肺炎疫情对医疗社会史学科建设的启示

The Insight from COVID-19 Pandemic on the Establishment of the Discipline of Medical Social History

改变人类生活状况的疫情刺激各种学科的研究者关注人类生命状态,在关爱生命的主导意识中,在人与病毒共存的人类共识基础上,开展医疗社会史研究,取得具有重大学术价值的成果的同时,也为防治疫情献言,颇有现实意义。本文拟从瘟疫史、公共卫生史两个研究方向领域和跨学科跨文化研究法展开论述。瘟疫史研讨的必要性自不待言,它的内涵及人类如何预防,如果出现瘟疫大流行,人类怎样走出困境,寄希望于瘟疫史研治专著给出具有高度参考价值的建议。公共卫生是政府与民众之间关系的重要纽带,公共卫生在国家安全中的极其重要地位如何实现,公共卫生系列建设如何,个人与公共卫生的关系,如何使大众牢固树立公共卫生意识,发展公共卫生事业,值得我们思考。融入人文意识的跨学科、跨文化的医疗社会史研究法,则需要各学科的研究者排除门户畛域,互相尊重,真正成为学友。

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our lives, and has also raised concerns from researchers and scholars of many disciplines. This article intends to discuss from the two areas of pandemic/epidemic history and public health history using interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research method. The necessity of studying the history of pandemics goes without saying.Hopefully the research of pandemic history will give valuable suggestions or references to how to prevent pandemic, and when it happens how human get out of the predicament. Public health provides an important link between the government and the people. How to realize the extremely important position of public health in national security? How to build good public health system?The relationship between individuals and public health. How to empower individuals with public health awareness? Those are topics worth thinking about. The interdisciplinary and cross-cultural medical social history research method that incorporates humanistic consciousness calls researchers from all disciplines to expand their domains, respect each other, and work together.
