Emphasizing patient centred care in teaching medical ethics to students in nursing

Summary/Abstract: The doctor-patient relationship and communication have been the central topics for discussion during the last fifty years. In the sixties of the last century the patient autonomy and its practical expression – informed consent were explored as the most important issues in order to fulfill the legal and the ethical norms in this communication. There has been a shift in the focus of doctor- patient relationship recently. Nowadays new practices are developing in the European countries and in Bulgaria in particular in order to attain a good collaboration between the patient and the medical team: self-management of the disease, health education for healthy life style, etc. The main goal of the medical team is to achieve better health of the patient sharing responsibilities of both the parties on the base of mutual trust.
