DEPERSONALIZATION OF THE CAREGIVER AND ABUSE OF THE PATIENT IN THE GABO

Viac o knihe

The study investigates the troubling issue of caregiver depersonalization in Gabon's healthcare system, where patients often face abuse and contempt. Despite media reports highlighting these concerns, research involving 109 Gabonese caregivers reveals that depersonalization, typically associated with cynicism towards patients, is not present among them. This finding challenges the prevailing narrative and suggests a more complex understanding of caregiver attitudes in a sector that is critical to national prestige and public health.
