When self-care teaches caring: Medical students’ experiences of illness.
Type de matériel :

As a fifth-year medical student, I learned on December 7, 2017, that I suffer from Crohn’s disease. This particular situation offered me a writing opportunity and enabled me to carry out this embedded research: to present an “insider” account with student eyes and analyze it with my experience as a novice caregiver. The aim of this work is to question the nature of the interactions that develop between the future carer who is sick and the medical world, and to analyze their impact on care. The first article dealt with the diagnostic announcement; this article addresses communication, intimacy, and, finally, the empowerment of the cared-for carer.
