“…Se han realizado estudios que concluyen que los médicos que manifiestan una escucha más atenta y respetuosa a sus pacientes tienen una influencia positiva en el proceso de curación de los mismos (38). Adicionalmente, se ha validado el impacto positivo en la satisfacción de los pacientes al ser escuchados acerca de sus problemas y sus emociones por parte de los profesionales de la salud (39).…”

ReSUmenLos cuidados paliativos buscan ofrecer una atención holística para brindar una mejor calidad de vida a los enfermos, especialmente cuando se aproximan al fin de su existencia. Profundizar en la dimensión espiritual de la persona humana resulta atractivo puesto que ofrece respuestas al sentido de la vida. Se ha constatado que la atención espiritual aporta grandes beneficios para el paciente. Es por eso que en este trabajo hemos querido profundizar en la importancia de la dimensión espiritual en los cuidados paliativos; se destaca la actitud de la escucha como pieza clave de dicha atención espiritual, lo que evidencia que el burnout de los médicos es el principal obstáculo para potenciar la escucha como una adecuada disposición que resulte consoladora y sanadora.

“…Studies show that when caregivers listen, patients' blood pressure drops, anxiety and fears diminish, suffering is alleviated and the patients are provided with a better quality of life (1)(2)(3). When patients are allowed to tell their illness narrative and to express their feelings in words, new possibilities open up for them to work through their own feelings, to learn to know themselves and to discover new aspects of themselves and thereby find new ways to be and live in order to attain health and improve their quality of life (8)(9)(10).…”

“…Patients can then start putting pieces of their lives together again and create for themselves a new belief in the future or a new vision of life. Hope gives patients courage to face the future (1,3,11). When patients begin to understand what it entails to be a suffering and struggling human being, they are able to find a meaning in life despite their illness and pain.…”

“…It is through listening to the patients' stories that the patients can become integrated and engaged in the caring process and take responsibility for their own health (1)(2)(3)(4). With a theoretical starting point in the theoretical framework and the basic values of the tradition of caring science based on Eriksson's caritative theory of caring and through hermeneutic reading and interpretation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic texts, the purpose of this article is to contemplate, reflect on and make visible further dimensions about the caring in listening.…”

Scand J Caring Sci; 2015; 29; 548-554 An envisioning about the caring in listeningThe purpose of this article is to make visible further dimensions and uncover an envisioning about the caring in listening in the field of caring science, which may improve the care for the suffering human being, the patient. Eriksson's caritative theory of caring constitutes the starting point for this search for knowledge, while the research method is realised by a hermeneutic reading based on the philosopher of hermeneutics, Gadamer's thought. The research is realised by a reading of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's literary works. The literary characters Sonia in Crime and Punishment and Alyosha in The Brothers Karamazov, uncovers patterns of meaning-bearing units towards the caring and the interpretation of a more profound envisioning about the caring in listening. The uncovering and interpretation show that patients in their suffering long to meet a caregiver who listens without the least condemnation in their eyes and demeanour.Patients need a listening caregiver who shows compassion and who has the courage to remain in the struggle of suffering and to carry the patients through insupportable pain, guilt and shame. Through listening, it is possible to reawaken a numb heart, to take individuals who have gone through a good deal of suffering, from darkness, degradation, unendurable pain to the light and to awaken their zest for life and joy to live. Listening renews, delivers and transforms human beings so that they can begin to find a new direction in life and start living a life in accordance with their own fundamental order, purpose, essential decision and individuality. Listening takes patients out of their loneliness and unbearable suffering into communion and a life worth living.

Who Determines Physician Effectiveness?

It is a paradox. Although physicians do not control patient behavior, physician effectiveness is increasingly determined by patient behavior. There is a trend toward physician ratings being based on specific metrics related to the management of chronic illness. Such markers include glycosylated hemoglobin levels, blood pressure, body mass index, and smoking rates, along with other factors known to affect risk of morbidity and mortality. However, the physician contribution to changing the actual outcomes is limited.Population analyses of health outcomes suggest that medical care accounts for only 10% of the variance in outcomes, whereas approximately 50% can be attributed to behavioral and social factors.1 With respect to the chronic conditions that receive the largest proportion of health care attention, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, physicians identify risk factors,
