Reverence for life:the cornerstone for medical humanity / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The most essential core of lead-edging medical humanities is "reverence for life". From the four aspects of"respecting oneself","respecting others","reverence for nature"and"facing up to disease and death", the thought of respecting life is stratified and concretized, which provides the basic theoretical basis for the cultivation of medical workers' humanistic quality. Among the four levels, "respecting for one-self"is intended to appeal to medical workers to pay attention to their own physical and mental health, and strengthen their self-recognition, self-retraining and self-cultivation. "Respecting others" means respecting patients and their families. "Reverence for nature" extends the love to the whole nature and improves the harmony and unity between man and nature. "Facing up to disease and death" aims to realize the respect of terminal point by taking a dialectical view of disease and death, guiding and assisting patients and their families to treat death positively and actively so as to go through their last station smoothly.
