This paper questions different conceptions of Medical Humanities in order to provide a clearer understanding of what they are and why they matter. Building upon former attempts, we defend a conception of Medical Humanities as a humanistic problem-based approach to medicine aiming at influencing its nature and practice. In particular, we discuss three main conceptual issues regarding the overall nature of this discipline: (i) a problem-driven approach to Medical Humanities; (ii) the need for an integration of Medical Humanities into medicine; (iii) the methodological requirements that could render Medical Humanities an effective framework for medical decision-making.
本文对医学人文的不同概念提出质疑，以便更清楚地理解它们是什么以及为何重要。在以往尝试的基础上，我们捍卫一种将医学人文视为基于人文问题的医学方法的概念，旨在影响医学的本质和实践。特别是，我们讨论了关于这门学科整体性质的三个主要概念问题：（i）医学人文的问题驱动方法；（ii）将医学人文融入医学的必要性；（iii）使医学人文成为医学决策有效框架的方法学要求。
