“…Inadequate numbers of public health care centers along with the escalating COVID-19 treatment expenses in the private health care centers worsened the situation (Mitra, 2020 ). The already dwindling patient-doctor relationship (Tripathi et al, 2019 ) reached a worrying level of distrust. Health care workers in general and public health care workers, in particular, suffered acute helplessness.…”

Background: Risks to healthcare workers have escalated during the pandemic and they are likely to experience a greater level of stress. This cross-sectional study investigated mental distress among healthcare workers during the early phase of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in India.Method: 140 healthcare workers of a tertiary care hospital in India were assessed for perceived stress and insomnia. A factor analysis with principal component method reduced these questions to four components which were categorized as insomnia, stress-related anxiety, stress-related irritability, and stress-related hopelessness. Further statistical analyses were done on these factor scores to identify the predictors and investigate the differences between the different categories of healthcare workers.Result: Doctors had the highest level of anxiety among the healthcare workers. Both doctors and nurses perceived a greater level of irritability than the other HCWs. Compared to doctors and nurses, other HCWs were more likely to experience insomnia. Lower age, higher education, female gender, and urban habitat were associated with greater perception of anxiety. Older age, being quarantined, and single marital status were the significant predictors of irritability. Female gender, single marital-status, and higher number of medical ailments contributed to perceived hopelessness. Quarantine significantly predicted insomnia.Conclusion: Different categories of healthcare workers are experiencing varied mental health problems owing to their heterogeneous socio-demographic backgrounds. Tailored and personalized care, as well as policies, might help in alleviating their problems. Further research is warranted to explore the psychological distress and remedies among these frontline workers during and after the ongoing pandemic crisis.

Perceptions of Practicing Physicians and Members of the Public on the Attributes of a “Good Doctor”

et al. 2021

Since physician–patient relationships are a central part of the medical practice, it is essential to understand whether physicians and the general public share the same perspective on traits defining a “good doctor”. Our study compared the perceptions of physicians and members of the public on the essential traits of a “good doctor.” We conducted parallel surveys of 1000 practicing specialist-physicians, and 500 members of the public in Israel. Respondents were asked about the two most important attributes of a “good doctor” and whether they thought the physicians’ role was to reduce health disparities. Many physicians (56%) and members of the public (48%) reported that the role of physicians includes helping to reduce health disparities. Physicians emphasized the importance of non-technical skills such as humaneness and concern for patients as important traits of a “good doctor,” while the public emphasized professional and technical skills. Internal medicine physicians were more likely than surgeons to emphasize humaneness, empathy, and professionalism. Future research should focus on actionable approaches to bridge the gap in the perceptions between the groups, and that may support the formation of caring physicians embedded in a complex array of relationships within clinical and community contexts.

“…The possible explanation could be due to the gap between patients and healthcare professionals and the latter plays an active role most of the time. The doctor–patient relationship produces an asymmetrical power structure due to the capability gap and makes users ask for less in healthcare services [ 31 ]. It could be also caused by “systematic conversation” and a “top to bottom doctor–patient relationship” that facilitates the passive role of care seekers while communicating with providers [ 32 ].…”

This study aimed to describe the connotation of respect for community elders in daily situations, and discuss the elderly’s views on respect for healthcare services. A qualitative research design was conducted to interview elders from a non-urban area in Changhua, Taiwan. Study sites were Lukang and Ershui. A total of 52 people were interviewed, with an average age of 75 years old. Based on Grounded theory, the thematic analysis method was used to analyze data. This study found that respect from the perspective of the elderly can be divided into three categories: (1) verbal expression, (2) non-verbal behavior, and (3) behavior combined with appropriate language. We found that elders use the performance of healthcare service providers to discuss respect in the field of healthcare services. Respect can also be shown in the physical environment in healthcare settings. This study found that, for the community elders, respect is an individual’s subjective feelings regarding the process of interpersonal interaction. Compared to daily life, the respect of the elderly for the healthcare setting has increased the element of the environment. In addition, it was found that elderly people have lower expectations and requirements for respect in healthcare settings.
