Inject Interfaith Dialogue to Truncate Hostility in Patients (original) (raw)

International Journal of Nursing Care, 2015

Abstract

With the advent of corporate hospitals patients have become conscious of rights and exercise this right to get fair treatment. Hospitals buy high technology equipment and give value service to patients. In turn the cost of medical treatment has gone high. If patient perceives – rightly or wrongly – about inadequate treatment, becomes hostile to the system. Litigation is one of the instruments to seek justice. The hostility is the prime mover of getting attention. It has been seen that no particular group is targeted by hostile patients. However, the doctors and then nurses are the ones who have to bear the brunt of hostility as they form the face of health care. Authors have discussed these issues and quoted from earlier works liberally. What is new is that idea of interfaith dialogue and counselling has been introduced. This has merit because such strategies have paid in other areas like conflict between nations and reconciliation between two or more communities belonging to different faiths. Such a venture if adopted in a hospital setting shall pay off. This is what authors suggest that this model may be accepted and propagated by people who matters in the larger interest of sick community.
