To suggest that the patient movement is an emancipation movement.
The patient movement is young and fragmented; and it can seem confusing because it lacks an explicit ideology with intellectual and theoretical underpinnings.
Drawing mainly on the experiences and the published writings of patient activists, the author identified eight aspects of the patient movement that could be compared with aspects of recognized emancipation movements: the radicalization of activists; the creation of new knowledge; the identification of guiding principles; the sense of direction; the unmasking of new issues; schisms within the movement and allies outside it; and the gradual social acceptance of some of the ideas (here standards of health care) that activists work to promote.
Similarities between certain aspects of the patient movement and of the recognized emancipation movements were close.
The patient movement can be regarded as an emancipation movement, albeit an immature one.
提出患者运动是一场解放运动。
患者运动尚年轻且分散;由于缺乏具有知识和理论基础的明确意识形态,它可能显得令人困惑。
作者主要借鉴患者维权人士的经验和已发表的著作,确定了患者运动的八个方面,这些方面可与公认的解放运动的相关方面进行比较:维权人士的激进化;新知识的创造;指导原则的确定;方向感;新问题的揭露;运动内部的分裂及其外部的盟友;以及活动人士努力推动的一些理念(此处指医疗保健标准)逐渐被社会接受。
患者运动的某些方面与公认的解放运动的某些方面极为相似。
患者运动可被视为一场解放运动,尽管尚不成熟。
