This study investigated medical students' attitudes towards cure-oriented versus care-oriented physicians. Findings suggest a two-dimensional model of physician attitudes, impacting medical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Attitudes
  • Physician Training

Background:

  • Patient-centeredness is crucial in healthcare.
  • The relationship between cure-oriented and care-oriented attitudes in physicians requires further clarification.
  • Existing models may oversimplify the complex interplay of these attitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between cure and care attitudes among Belgian medical students.
  • To challenge the notion of a single, bipolar dimension for these attitudes.
  • To explore the concept of the 'ideal physician' through the lens of cure vs. care.

Main Methods:

  • Empirical analysis of attitudes among 88 Belgian medical students.
  • Utilized a bipolar rating scale to assess cure-oriented vs. care-oriented views.
Keywords:

  • Performed factor analysis to identify underlying attitudinal dimensions.

    • Main Results:

    • The Belgian medical student sample exhibited lower care-oriented attitudes compared to a Dutch sample.
    • Factor analysis identified two distinct dimensions: an instrumental (cure) and an affective (care) component.
    • These findings challenge a unidimensional view of physician attitudes.

    Conclusions:

    • A two-dimensional framework (instrumental and affective) better represents physician attitudes.
    • This framework can inform the development of targeted attitude-development courses in medical curricula.
    • Understanding these dimensions is vital for fostering patient-centered care in medical training.
