“…With these accessions, the Institute Gineste-Marescotti (IGM) was created to organize the implementation and to structure professional formation. It has become a transversal methodology for any care, replicable in many contexts, allowing for the operationalization of the relation through five consecutive and dynamic phases: pre-preliminary, preliminary, sensorial rebouclage, emotional consolidation, and reencounter making up about 150 relational technique (7) .…”

“…Sensorial rebouclage includes the performance of care, presupposing a coherent maintenance of a positive emotional ambivalence between the care giver and the person being cared for through the pillars of Humanitude (gaze, word, touch, and verticality). The emotional consolidation is a phase of cognitive and mnesic stimulus, and it allows for the emotional memory of the person being cared for to retain a positive impression of the relationship stablished and of the care, easing the relational consent and the acceptance of further care (7) . The reencounter is the final moment of the relationship, when a compromise is taken for further care, thus adjusting the care to the person's will.…”

“…Thus, an individual with NCD may be deeply affected by the condition imposed by the environment and by care givers, as they may not be sufficiently prepared to care for these individuals (4) . Since the care given is not adequate, it creates a harmful environment, both for the people being cared for, since they are not understood, with the increase in anxiety and disorganization levels, and for the care givers, since they do not know how to handle the situation, potentializing emotional distress and professional dissatisfaction (5)(6)(7) .…”

“…The implementation of the Humanitude Care Methodology (MCH) has demonstrated efficacy in preventing and reducing agitation behaviors in dementia patients; acceptance of care; gains in regaining autonomy and independence of people with NCD (5,(7)(8)(9) . These gains in well-being and serenity provide a harmonious environment for the performance of care, positively affecting the health of care givers, and in the satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment of the professionals involved in it (8,9) .…”

The effect of Humanitude care methodology on improving empathy: a six-year longitudinal study of medical students in Japan

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Empathy, which involves understanding another person’s experiences and concerns, is an important component for developing physicians’ overall competence. This longitudinal study was designed to test the hypothesis that medical students’ empathy can be enhanced and sustained by Humanitude Care Methodology, which focuses on perception, emotion and speech. Methods This six-year longitudinal observational study examined 115 students who entered Okayama University Medical School in 2013. The study participants were exposed to two empathy-enhancing programs: (1) a communication skills training program (involving medical interviews) and (2) a Humanitude training program aimed at enhancing their empathy. They completed the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) seven times: when they entered medical school, before participation in the first program (medical interview), immediately after the first program, before the second program (Humanitude exercise), immediately after the second program, and in the 5th and 6th year (last year) of medical school. A total of 79 students (69% of the cohort) completed all seven test administrations of the JSE. Results The mean JSE scores improved significantly after participation in the medical interview program (p < 0.01) and the Humanitude training program (p = 0.001). However, neither program showed a sustained effect. Conclusions The Humanitude training program as well as medical interview training program, had significant short-term positive effects for improving empathy among medical students. Additional reinforcements may be necessary for a long-term sustained effect.

Background: Through a structured sequence of humanitude care procedures, the humanitude care methodology (HCM) allows for the humanization of care. Objectives: To identify nurses' perceptions of the difficulties and benefits from the implementation of the HCM in clinical practice. Methodology: A qualitative exploratory-descriptive study was conducted involving 7 nurses with previous training on HCM. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the content analysis technique. Results: The discourse analysis showed that the main difficulties in the implementation of HCM were related to personal and organizational factors. The implementation of this methodology had more benefits for the professionals, the patients, and the institutions. Conclusion: Given the benefits identified in the implementation of the HCM, it is fundamental to take into account the factors that hamper this process, as well as to develop some strategies, such as leader involvement, with the purpose of creating the conditions for an effective implementation and consolidation in clinical practice.
