MEJIAS-VIZCARRO, Juan A e BELTRAN-HERNANDEZ, Lizbeth. The utility of medical-psychological history in medical students who start rotations as a way to comprehend the patient and as a facilitator for the therapeutic alliance. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.1, pp.27-34. Epub 14-Out-2019. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.221.978.
Introduction:
Medical students' formation needs the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge, ethical-moral attitudes, and interpersonal communication skills. Having a comprehensive education will establish an adequate doctor-patient relationship to offer better care since the first contact they have with them.
Subjects and methods:
A qualitative methodology of participatory research-action type was used. Medical students who were beginning their clinical practice applied medical-psychological histories to patients of the hospital where they carry out their clerkships, without the teachers being present, adding a comment that reflects what they experienced after having the encounter. Subsequently, the comments of each student were analyzed and compared with what was found in the literature.
Results:
Most of the students felt anxious or uncomfortable when they inquired about personal topics such as sexuality. They also felt empathy for the illness and/or personal history of each patient, which helped them understand their way of being, their situation, as well as their way of dealing with it and comprehend how the doctor-patient relationship influences the patient and in their illness.
Conclusion:
Carrying out this type of medical history by the students who start their clinical training is an experience that impacts importantly on an emotional level, because it allows direct contact with the sick human being and not only with the disease, strengthening the doctor-patient relationship.
