Abstract

GARCIA DEL POZO, Julián Solís. Autonomism and Humanization of Health Care. Domestic partnership?. pers.bioét. [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.2, pp.263-270. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2018.22.2.5.

In recent times, a significant concern about the problem of the humanization of health care has been developed. This humanization affects the relationships of the health personnel with the patient as well as other issues such as the physical structures of the care centers and the organization of health system. This humanization of medicine has been linked to the so-called bioethical principlism, and specially to the principle of autonomy as a dominant bioethical principle. In this brief article, the author expresses the concern for the development of an exaltation of this principle (what has been called autonomism) linked to this movement of humanization of care.

Keywords : Humanization of assistance; personal autonomy; freedom; delivery health care; bioethics; beneficence.
