Summary
A new humanistic care tool was developed and validated for Chinese public hospitals. This tool effectively measures patient-perceived humanistic care, showing significant associations with social factors and treatment style.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare quality assessment
- Patient experience research
- Medical sociology
Background:
- Humanistic care is crucial for patient well-being in healthcare settings.
- Existing tools may not fully capture the patient perspective in the Chinese context.
- Improving medical services requires patient-centered evaluation methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a humanistic care tool for use in Chinese public hospitals.
- To assess humanistic care from the patients' perspective.
- To identify factors associated with perceived humanistic care.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 635 outpatients and inpatients in Anhui Province, China.
- A humanistic care tool was developed based on national guidelines and the Patient-Doctor Relationship Questionnaire.
- Reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and construct validity (EFA, CFA) were assessed; logistic regression analyzed associations.
Main Results:
- The developed humanistic care tool demonstrated suitable reliability and construct validity.
- Approximately two-thirds of respondents reported experiencing humanistic care.
- Social aspects (location, income), treatment style, and having a regular doctor were significantly linked to better humanistic care (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
- The validated tool accurately reflects patient-perceived humanistic care in Chinese public hospitals.
- The tool is suitable for widespread application across Chinese public hospitals.
- Findings provide insights for enhancing medical services and patient satisfaction.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...
