Establishing an open-access journal is necessary to create a scientific platform for both the exchange of experiences of academic staff in Poland and Europe and the promotion of humanistic ideas in medicine in connection with health policy.
The magazine is intended to highlight in particular aspects of the humanization of medicine, which is an extremely necessary and expected change in the functioning of current health care systems, because focusing on empathy and patient care ensures better quality of care and better treatment results. Thanks to this, patients feel listened to and understood, which positively affects their experience of the disease and treatment. The humanization of medicine also enables better communication and collaboration between patients and doctors, leading to more sustainable and effective treatment. The dimension of humanistic medicine and bioethics is particularly important in connection with the development of medical technologies, artificial intelligence and telemedicine.
European Journal of Health Policy, Humanization of Care and Medical Ethics is an international periodical (semi-annual) devoted to health policy, humanization of care and medical ethics.
The aim of the journal is to publish articles enabling the exchange of reflections and practical experiences by representatives of many scientific disciplines dealing with the broadly understood topic of humanization of medicine. It is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original articles by scientists and specialists from many fields. Published articles may be clinical, statistical, theoretical, illustrative or casuistic in nature. The journal intends to combine many areas of research, presenting issues related to patient well-being from the perspective of health sciences, medical sciences, social sciences, humanities and theological sciences.
