HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS: Why is the communication between patients and doctors…
HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS: Why is the communication between patients and doctors so bad?
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Patients feel left out during their experiences in the hospital because hospitals aren't debriefing important information such as the details of their procedures or the adherence of their treatment
Despite the doctors being at fault for not debriefing as much as they should with their patients, there are barriers that prevent this type of communication from occurring --> In school, doctors aren't taught to debrief with their patients + Some information needs to remain classified
SIGNIFICANCE/TARGET AUDIENCE:
The target audience will be doctors because they are in a position of authority which makes them responsible for giving patients access to certain information
POSSIBLE PARTICIPANTS:
Mailing List/BIDMC Connections:
Surgeons
Nurses
People who reach out to patients after their procedures
Ms.King, Ms.Horne, Mr.Jacobson
GAPS/UNIQUE ASPECTS
:
UTILITARIANISM
This concept can serve as a backbone for the disagreement that I'm targeting because it puts emphasis on the fact that hospital interactions/procedures are much larger than one might think
This can serve to eliminate biases because, “John Stuart Mill once wrote: The happiness which forms the utilitarian standard of what is right in conduct, is not...(one's) own happiness, but that of all concerned. As between his own happiness and that of others, utilitarianism requires him to be as strictly impartial as a disinterested and benevolent spectator” (Markkula Center).
ALTRUISM
:
This concept serves to highlight that the success of medical procedures doesn't just fall on doctors but also on society itself. For example, in order for the organ transplant system to function, hospitals must have people who donate: “Organ donation is founded on the pillars of altruism. When the moral value of an individual’s actions is focused mainly on the beneficial impact on other individuals, without regard to the consequences on the individual herself, the individual’s actions are regarded as “Altruistic”(Dalal).
With this information, my research will highlight the importance of unity as well as the benefits of society letting go of their egocentric ways
DEFINITIONS
Utilitarianism-->An ethical theory that determines right from wrong by focusing on outcomes
Altruism --> When we act to promote someone else's welfare , even at a risk or cost to ourselves
The National Organ Transplant Act of 1984-->initiated the development of a national system of organ sharing and a scientific registry to collect and report transplant data. It also outlawed the sale of human organs in the United States (Alliance Terminology & Data Resources May 2021)
DATA SOURCES:
*
Research Papers + Studies*:
"The Role of Doctor-Patient Communication Skills in Predicting Treatment Adherence"
"Attitude and potential benefits of modern information and communication technology use and telemedicine in cross-sectoral solid organ transplant care"
"Factors associated with waiting time on the liver transplant list: an analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database"
"Patient attitudes towards kidney transplant listing: qualitative fi ndings from the ATTOM study"
METHODOLOGY
Develop a survey that includes scale questions and open response questions
Possible include 1 or 2 interviews
SITUATEDNESS
:
This topic drastically impacts people's lives because not only does it effect one's well being in serious situations but it also determines the outcome of interactions with others, specifically those in a higher position of authority
POTENTIAL ISSUES:
Participants don't respond to outreach email
People's responses in my survey are very distinct and I can't identify trends
Research/Analysis becomes one-sided
NEXT STEPS:
Develop survey + Draft outreach email that I'll send out to potential participants
