Patient Relationships

BACKGROUND Since the 2009 medical reform in China, the doctor-patient relationship seems to be an increasingly serious issue. And with the new media era, Weibo is one of the most important platforms for building the doctor image. However, no studies have focused on how China official media Weibo reports on doctor-patient issues. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to study the presentation of doctor image on People's Daily Weibo and how it affects the direction of the doctor-patient relationship. METHODS This study used a content analysis method and collected data from 01 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 on People's Daily Weibo. Through the characteristics, these postings were categorized into four-doctor images. RESULTS A total of 216 postings about the doctor image were collected on People's Daily Weibo. It was reported 122 postings on positive doctor image, up to 56%, while the number of negative doctor image postings is 15, accounting for only 7%. 44 postings about victim doctor image, accounting for 21%. There are about 25 medical disturbances. People’s Daily Weibo has reported 35 postings that have a neutral image of doctors, accounting for 16%. CONCLUSIONS People’s Daily Weibo has shaped four-doctor media images in the past three years. Moreover, it has mostly reported postings with a rigorous attitude, but some also exaggerate the facts leading to unreal. People’s Daily, the official Chinese media, actively embraces new media by using Weibo to shape doctor media images to influence the harmony of doctor-patient relationships.

Point Of Departure

AbstractThe commonly occurring metaphors and models of the doctor–patient relationship can be divided into three clusters, depending on what distribution of power they represent: in the paternalist cluster, power resides with the physician; in the consumer model, power resides with the patient; in the partnership model, power is distributed equally between doctor and patient. Often, this tripartite division is accepted as an exhaustive typology of doctor–patient relationships. The main objective of this paper is to challenge this idea by introducing a fourth possibility and distribution of power, namely, the distribution in which power resides with neither doctor nor patient. This equality in powerlessness—the hallmark of “the age of bureaucratic parsimony”—is the point of departure for a qualitatively new doctor–patient relationship, which is best described in terms of solidarity between comrades. This paper specifies the characteristics of this specific type of solidarity and illustrates it with a case study of how Swedish doctors and patients interrelate in the sickness certification practice.

Decreased quality of life is a major challenge among women living with breast cancer due to treatment effects and other psychosocial comorbidities. However, shared decision making and doctor–patient relationship have been linked to improved quality of life, but the mechanism linking shared decision making and quality of life is poorly understood. This study therefore examined both the direct and indirect influences of shared decision making on quality of life through doctor–patient relationship among 205 women living with breast cancer in Ghana with a mean age of 52.49 years. Using a cross-sectional design, participants were administered questionnaires which measured quality of life, doctor–patient relationship, and shared decision making. Results showed that shared decision making had significant indirect influence on overall quality of life via doctor–patient relationships ( b = 4.69, 95% confidence interval = [0.006, 9.555]). Shared decision making had a significant effect on doctor–patient relationships ( b = 7.63, t = 6.76, p < .001) but no significant direct effect on quality of life ( b = 2.72, t = 0.510, p = .61). Findings suggest that shared decision making results in improved doctor–patient relationships which probably lead to better quality of life among women living with breast cancer. These findings underscore the need for increased patient involvement in medical decisions to improve interpersonal relationships and consequently quality of life.

Reporting Pattern

To study the international news reporting patterns of the Chinese media, this research provides a longitudinal analysis of the news coverage of Sino-Japan summit meetings from 1972 to 2019 in the People’s Daily. Based on the framing theory, the results of the analysis show that different aspects of the summit are selected to be covered in the news depending on the Chinese government’s policy towards Japan in different time periods. However, the news coverage itself has maintained a high degree of consistency. Before the period of reform and the opening up of China, there was no mention of the summit meetings’ content; reports only introduced the date, location and attendees. After the reform, information reported about the summit meetings increased and the coverage began including quotations from both the Chinese and Japanese heads of state; at the same time, reports adopted a ‘propagandized’ text editing mode by quoting more from Chinese leaders than Japanese leaders. Furthermore, the People’s Daily framed the Chinese government’s attempts to stabilize and develop Sino-Japanese relations over time.

Patient Relationships

How to improve the doctor-patient relationship has been a continuing topic in academia and management and there have been several attempts to utilize online communications to facilitate healthcare. The application of information technology to create an “Internet + medical care” platform has upended the traditional medical service model in China. As an example of the application of the Internet by the healthcare system, this paper investigates a mobile online appointment system used by hospitals. Data on system use came from questionnaires submitted by 225 patients and analyzed by the structural equation model method. The results showed that patients perceived the hospital’s online appointment system as an attempt at transparency to which they reacted positively. The patients’ perception of transparency promoted trust in the hospital and the doctors and positively affected their feelings of satisfaction, which, of course, improved the doctor-patient relationship. Patients’ perceptions of transparency, trust in the hospitals and doctors, and feelings of satisfaction played a partial mediator role between the availability of an online appointment system and better doctor-patient relationships. There were significant gender differences among patients in terms of their feelings of trust and satisfaction with the new appointment method and whether it really improved the doctor-patient relationship.

Depth Interviews

This study is aimed to answer how and why illiterate and/or unschooled people use new media through in-depth interviews with 15 unschooled Kurdish women about general observations regarding city, media and people. It shows that these become an important part of people's daily life, and give them a new space to do things they could not do before. These do not make them more secular or modern, nor do they change their main attitudes and perspectives on life. However, these new media help them to preserve at least some of their traditional activities that are now under threat from recent capitalism and urbanization.

This article examines neologisms that emerged in the Chinese language during the coronavirus pandemic. Any changes taking place in society are primarily reflected in social and political media, therefore, news publications in influential Chinese media (People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, Guangming Daily) were selected as the research material because these sources enjoy the confidence among people. The aim of the research is to determine the building patterns and usage of neologisms that appeared during the period of 6–8 months since the pandemic outbreak. About 500 articles discussing coronavirus were analyzed in the course of the work, as a result, more than 30 neologisms were identified. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of 10 most frequent neologisms found in 289 contexts. It was discovered that compounding was the most frequent neologism-building pattern (60%), additional connotation acquisition turned out twice less frequent (30%), and the rarest pattern was homophony (10%).
