ABSTRACT

The medical humanities have been constituted in the last fifty years as a heterogeneous field of disciplines that intends to have a significant impact on medical training. The empirical works in Latin America about the role of medical humanities, the areas that these integrate, the knowledge that compose them, as well as the conceptions and meanings that exist in front of them, are meager. Therefore, this research answers the question: what are the meanings, conceptions and practices related to medical humanities in medical students of a Colombian university located in the city of Medellín? His response allowed us to make a diagnosis of the environment that exists in relation with the knowledge that is not part of the basic, clinical and medical sciences, but at the same time is essential in its formation. In addition, it offers curricular alternatives around the humanities, to correct problematic situations revealed in the results. A mixed study was conducted, articulating findings of a qualitative approach oriented by the analytical options of Strauss’s grounded theory, and an observational quantitative design with psychometric evaluation of a scale. This design allowed us to conclude that, despite the advances of the medical humanities in the last 50 years, meanings, conceptions and ontologies of the social in health of the 1970s predominate. This constitutes an obstacle to the progress on different fronts such as the patient’s preferences in evidence-based medicine, the explanation of the etiology of health-illness from social determinants of health, person-centered medicine, humanized care, among other discourses, currents or paradigms relevant in the contemporaneity that in this population only appear as a rhetoric devoid of practical or everyday meaning.
