摘要

關懷一直以來都被護理人員，當做專業的特質，然而在醫療過程中，不只有護理人員應該具備這樣的特質，應該是所有相關人員都應該具有的德行。又在醫療照護中醫病的關係，若從關懷的角度而言，醫療者為關懷者，患者則為被關懷者。這樣的雙向關懷模式，會因為主體性別的差異，而有所不同嗎？然而關懷是什麼？一個由主體性所發展產生的行為模式，應該是具有普遍性的特質，會受到性別的差異的影響嗎？如果會，原因為何呢？本篇論文，從關懷的本質意義探討，透過性別的思維、行為等模式，探究在醫療照護中關懷的模式，是否會受到性別的差異，產生不同的結果。論文中分別從醫病的雙向角度，論述不同性別在關懷與被關懷中，會產生怎樣的變化與是否有共通的模式。希冀透過本論文，能夠幫助醫療中的照護者，對於關懷與照護病患時，關懷的模式能有更多的瞭解，進而有良好的照護，提昇醫療的照護品質。

”Care” has always been considered by nursing staff as a professional quality. However, during the process of medical treatment, it's a virtue that should be required of not only nurses but all staff who are involved. In terms of the doctor-patient relationship in the medical treatment, if we see it from the perspective of care, the doctor is the one to care, while the patient is the one to be cared. Would such a two-way care model vary in accordance with the gender of the subject? And yet what is ”care” really? A behavioral model is developed and produced from subjectivity and therefore should be universal. Would such a model be influenced by the difference in gender? If it would, why? This article first inquires the essential meaning of ”care” and, through the thinking and behavioral models of different genders, explores whether the care models would bring forth different results in the process of medical treatment because of the difference in gender. In this paper, we address from the perspectives of both the doctor and the patient how people of different genders vary and what they share in common in the process of caring and being cared. Through this article, we wish to help the care workers understand more about care models regarding how to care about and look after the patients, so as to take good care of them and improve the quality of care in medical treatment.
