Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of narrative medicine in cultivating the humanistic spirit of respiratory medicine interns. Methods: Thirty interns were selected, all of whom were received by the respiratory department of our hospital from September 2023 to June 2024 and underwent narrative medicine teaching. Scores on narrative medicine knowledge, empathy ability, humanistic care ability, and teaching recognition were compared before and after the internship. Results: Compared to before the internship, the interns’ scores on narrative medicine knowledge were significantly higher after the internship, as were their empathy and humanistic care scores (P < 0.05). Among the 30 interns, 25 expressed interest in narrative medicine, and 29 were willing to continue with the narrative medicine teaching model. Conclusion: The application of narrative medicine in respiratory medicine internship teaching is highly effective. It cultivates the humanistic spirit of interns, improves their empathy and humanistic care abilities, and is worthy of wider implementation.
