There are many reasons why gender-concordant care benefits patients and is requested by them. For training hospitals, however, such requests present challenges as well as opportunities in providing patient-centered care. Responding to a case in which a female patient who is having a routine exam refuses care from a male medical student, we discuss ethical principles involved in gender-concordant care requests, when it is appropriate to question such requests, and a team-based approach to responding to them.
性别匹配的医疗护理有益于患者并受到患者要求,其原因有很多。然而,对于教学医院而言,此类要求在提供以患者为中心的护理方面既带来了挑战,也带来了机遇。针对一名正在进行常规检查的女性患者拒绝接受男医学生护理的案例,我们讨论了性别匹配护理要求中涉及的伦理原则、何时适合质疑此类要求以及应对这些要求的团队协作方法。
