Abstract

Karakterne osobine zdravstvenog osoblja u modernoj medicini, obilježenoj uspjesima u smanjenju stope preventabilne smrtnosti pristupom utemeljenom na znanstvenim dokazima, dobivaju novu važnost. Medicina utemeljena na dokazima često traži od profesionalca da bude emocionalno odmaknut od pacijenta radi povećanja objektivnosti, što pacijentu daje dojam nebrige za njegovo stanje, i to u razdoblju kad je najranjiviji i najosjetljiviji. Stoga je potreba za vraćanjem humanim korijenima medicine veća nego ikada, a razvijanje karakternih vrlina jedan je od predloženih mehanizama za postizanje tog cilja. Osoba s vrlinama koja se za pacijenta brine, čini to iz pravih razloga i na pravi način, na temelju dobro definiranih karakternih osobina potrebnih da odgovore na zahtjeve pacijenta, zadovoljavajući njegove potrebe i u tehničkom i emocionalnom i socijalnom smislu. U ovom radu osvrćemo se na trenutačno shvaćanje kvalitete zdravstvene njege, vrline koje bi medicinska sestra trebala posjedovati, mane koje bi trebala korigirati i mehanizme koje moderna etika vrlina predlaže za pomirenje znanstvene i humane strane medicine.

Abstract (english)

Character traits of health personnel in modern medicine, marked by huge success in improvement of preventable death rates through approach based on scientific evidence, are gaining new importance. Evidence based medicine often requires of a
medical professional to be emotionally detached from a patient to improve objectivity, which gives patients an impression of uncaring of their condition, and at a time a patient is the most vulnerable and the most sensitive. That is why the need to regress to more humane roots of medicine is larger than ever, and development of certain character traits of medical personnel is one of the proposed mechanisms to achieve that goal. A virtuous person taking care of a patient does that from the right reasons and in the right way, based on well defined character traits needed to respond to the requirements of patients, satisfying their need in technical, emotional and social sense. Here we review current understanding of the quality of medical care, virtues a nurse should possess, vices she should correct and mechanism that modern virtue ethics proposes to reconcile scientific and humanistic faces of medicine.
