“…Tovar Bohórquez y Ostrosky-Shejet (2013) presentan una revisión completa sobre esta relación desde el punto de vista filosófico y neuropsicológico. La incongruencia con nuestros resultados probablemente se deba a la menor precisión de los instrumentos utilizados en otros estudios; la empatía se mide mayormente con la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson (Buck, Holden, & Szauter, 2015), cuya estructura es consistente con tres conceptos: toma de perspectiva, atención con compasión y habilidad para "ponerse en los zapatos del paciente" (Alcorta-Garza, González-Guerrero, Tavitas-Herrera, Rodríguez-Lara y Hojat, 2005); el caso de la ética es más complicado porque incluye conceptos como el humanismo, profesionalismo, valores y demás (García Vigil et al, 2011;Prieto Miranda et al, 2012;Buck et al, 2015;). En este estudio utilizamos escalas multidi-mensionales que incluyen gran parte de los dominios relacionados con la empatía y la ética, lo que nos permitió evaluar componentes particulares de ambas variables y detectar diferencias sutiles que probablemente hayan contribuido con la falta de correlación estadística.…”

La percepción actual de una atención médica deshumanizada y de baja calidad ha cuestionado la capacidad empática y ética de los profesionales de la salud. Las investigaciones en este campo reportan fluctuaciones en estos atributos a lo largo de la formación de los médicos. Objetivo: Explorar los niveles globales de empatía y ética profesional, así como los niveles de cada componente de ambos atributos, en una muestra de candidatos a subespecialidad médica. Metodología: Se incluyeron 65 residentes que solicitaron cursar subespecialidad en una unidad médica de alta especialidad. Como parte del proceso de solicitud, respondieron el Test de Empatía Cognitiva y Afectiva y la Escala de Actitudes Éticas Profesionales. Resultados: Las puntuaciones promedio de la muestra calificaron como media en empatía y como óptimas en ética profesional. La comparación por género, especialidad y competencias mostró menor empatía afectiva y mejor competencia ética en las mujeres; mayor empatía cognitiva en subespecialidades quirúrgicas; y ausencia de correlación entre las dos variables en general, y en particular por competencia. Conclusiones: Se resalta la importancia de medir las competencias particulares de cada atributo dado que la variación en competencias específicas repercute en diferentes aspectos de la formación del médico, como la elección de especialidad, la selección de candidatos, la elaboración de programas académicos y el adecuado aprendizaje sobre la construcción de una efectiva relación médico-paciente. © Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.

ObjectiveThe objective of this article is to describe chiropractic professional identity as espoused by the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic.DiscussionProfessional identity is a construct that begins formation prior to career selection, can be considered the backbone of health care education, and has been linked to career success. Los Angeles College of Chiropractic’s professional identity is shaped by a philosophy of health care that is focused on vitalism, holism, naturalism, therapeutic conservatism, critical rationalism, phenomenology, humanism, and interprofessionalism. Other distinguishing aspects include portal-of-entry professionals with broad diagnostic skills; a focus on spine care; promotion of public-health; and delivery of manual treatments.ConclusionThe chiropractic professional identity at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic focuses on serving the needs of the people who entrust their health to its graduates and will continue to evolve on the basis of many factors, such as politics, social perceptions, and economic conditions.

“…This list is very similar to the Gold Foundation attributes, which begs the question of a feedback loop in the literature, reaffirming agreement about what constitutes humanism for medical education. A previous review article by the same authors, looking at the assessment of humanism, had an additional category of ‘Identity development [that] refers to the transformative process of becoming a humanistic physician’ (Buck, Holden, & Szauter, , p. 15). They also placed humanism as a component of professionalism for physicians.…”

A humanism for nursing?

Humanism has appeared intermittently in the nursing literature as a concept that can be used in understanding nursing. I return to the concept in response to noticing the term appearing in the context of health humanities, where it is loosely associated both with humanities and being humane. I review the usage and critiques of humanism in both nursing and medical literature and then re‐evaluate what the idea of humanism might hold for nursing, trying to avoid the traps of an over‐determination of the human subject, or dichotomizing nursing as art or science, technology or caring. I draw on writings on humanism primarily from Emmanuel Levinas and Edward Said to emphasize strands in humanism of obligation towards others and of critical discernment within history and culture directed towards democratic practices. I discuss in passing the strong association in the UK particularly between humanism and scientism as a note of caution about the plurality of the term humanism. I conclude that humanism is a tradition that does offer productive ways of thinking about nursing with the proviso that it ought to be treated carefully as a problematic tradition and not as a new essence for nursing.
