Advancements in technology have improved healthcare quality but shifted the focus to efficiency, negatively impacting patient- doctor relationships. This study proposes integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into medical education to address this issue.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is based on social learning theory and has a focus on emotion management, stress management, empathy, and social skills. Through SEL, students can develop social and emotional skills by observing, interacting with, and imitating others. Incorporating SEL into medical education would ensure that physicians develop the social and emotional skills necessary to form positive relationships with patients and to cope with the emotional demands of medical work. SEL comprises six domains, namely, the cognitive, emotion, social, values, perspective, and identity domains. These six domains are closely related to the six core competencies the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) indicated every doctor should possess, which indicates that the domains of SEL are highly relevant within the context of medical education. Furthermore, SEL can lead to the development of empathy, which can improve physicians' ability to understand patients' perspectives and emotions, and resilience, which can enable physicians to more effectively cope with the demands of their work, and it can lead to holistic development, with doctors gaining an understanding of both the technical and humanistic aspects of their work.
Incorporating SEL in medical education would enable doctors to develop key social and emotional skills that would improve their ability to provide holistic medical services and therefore would improve overall medical systems.
技术进步提高了医疗质量，但将重点转移到了效率上，对医患关系产生了负面影响。本研究建议将社会情感学习（SEL）融入医学教育以解决这一问题。
社会情感学习（SEL）基于社会学习理论，侧重于情绪管理、压力管理、同理心和社交技能。通过SEL，学生可以通过观察、与他人互动和模仿来培养社交和情感技能。将SEL纳入医学教育将确保医生培养与患者建立积极关系并应对医疗工作情感需求所需的社交和情感技能。SEL包括六个领域，即认知、情感、社会、价值观、视角和身份领域。这六个领域与毕业后医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）指出的每位医生应具备的六项核心能力密切相关，这表明SEL领域在医学教育背景下高度相关。此外，SEL可以促进同理心的发展，这可以提高医生理解患者观点和情绪的能力，以及恢复力，这可以使医生更有效地应对工作需求，并且它可以带来全面发展，使医生了解其工作的技术和人文方面。
将SEL纳入医学教育将使医生培养关键的社交和情感技能，从而提高他们提供全面医疗服务的能力，进而改善整体医疗系统。
