Abstract

Doctor-patient relationship is of paramount importance for the cultivation of medical students in all aspects. In order to explore medical students’ cognition of the current doctors-patient relationship and its influence on their views of choosing professions, a survey via self-designed questionnaires (n=300) was conducted. 83.25% medical students surveyed thought that the current doctor-patient relationship was strained. Additionally, more senior students responded that they are negatively affected concerning career choice, especially in the aspects of learning interest, career confidence and career choice, and 7.33% medical students surveyed will no longer engage in medical treatment. There was a positive correlation between the tension cognition of doctor-patient relationship and the choice of career intention and preference to the harmonious work department. The cognition of medical students of the current doctor-patient relationship was mainly defined as “tense”, and it had a certain negative impact on the medical students’ view of professions choosing, and increased the loss of medical talents and the uneven distribution of various jobs. Importantly the colleges and universities should strengthen career education and the change of students’ view of job selection, and implement targeted guidance to reduce the loss of medical talents to guarantee the sustainable development of medical and health services.
