Something is moving in hospitals, could it be clinical humanisation?

Abstract

In this article results are presented after analysing the students' answers in regard to perception, beliefs and attitudes on the Clinical Humanisation process in hospitals. We conclude that “something is moving”, though very slowly, concerning the change in the process of humanisation of care. Students perceive that families and carers in hospitals are not well taken care of, and consider this change as essential. They believe it is necessary to acquire knowledge and communication and social strategies towards the emotional approach to patients and their relatives.
