ESPINOSA, CV; MENORET, V; PUCHULU, MB y SELIOS, MJ. Bioethics in the Health Team - Patient Relationship. Diaeta [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.128, pp.31-36. ISSN 1852-7337.
Since the decade of the '60s, along with the technical and scientific revolution, changes can be seen in the relationship between health professionals and patients, as the latter are increasingly more aware of their rights as such and vindicate their autonomy. This also affects the traditional paternalistic attitude of the physician. Additionally, the relationship has turned from a personal scheme to a multidisciplinary approach, where all members of the health team are involved with equal responsibility. Contemporary changes have led health professionals to work under different pressures, which has resulted in a dehumanization of the relationship. This article describes the current situation of the health professional- patient relationship, analyzing the changes and factors involved in said relationship from a bioethical perspective.
