Abstract

Hasta-Hekim iletişimi, çoğunlukla hastanın tedavi sürecine dönük halkla ilişkiler stratejisinin bir uğrağı olarak ele alınır. Ancak bu nihai uğrağa varana değin, insana özgü çok katmanlı bir güzergâhı takip eder. Dil, anlam, ideoloji, iktidar vb. eksenindeki farklı kavramların konuşulabileceği bir alandır burası; her ne kadar nihai amaç, iki aktör arasındaki güveni inşa etmek olsa da, esasen bu süreçte hekimlerin toplum tasavvurları ve bu tasavvur içerisinde kendilerini konumlandırdıkları pozisyon ile belli bir hikayeyi deneyimlemekte olan insanların bu pozisyonu görme biçimleri karşılaşır; nitekim hasta sandalyesine oturmakla başlayan süreç, bu karşılaşma esnasında inşa edilen anlamı somutlaştırır, pratiğe tahvil eder. Dolayısıyla dilsel bir süreçtir bu; dil, konuşmanın, anlam inşasının ve iktidarın üzerinde yer aldığı bir omurga olarak çalışır; toplumsal aktörleri, aynı muhayyilenin içerisine yerleştirir, farklı öznelik deneyimlerini kurar ve bu haliyle ideolojik bir rolü yerine getirir. En nihayetinde hekimliğin iktidar alanı da buraya kurulur. Çalışmada da görüleceği üzere, örneğin beyaz önlük, bu iktidarla ilişkili olarak kendisinden öte bir simgeselliğe haizdir. Nitekim bu çalışma, sağlık iletişimi ile de ilişkili bir biçimde buradaki iktidar alanına odaklanacak; özellikle diş hekimliği öğrencilerinde yerleşik bu iktidarın dilsel kaynaklarını aramaya yönelecektir. En nihayetinde, sağlık iletişimini, sağlığın demokratikleşmesi gibi sosyolojik bir tahayyülün içerisinden görme amacındadır

THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF HEALTH: A CRITICAL APPROACH TO LANGUAGE OF DENTISTRY

Abstract

Patient-Physician communication is often addressed as a haunt of the public relations strategy towards the patient’s treatment process. However, this follows a multi-layered route specific to humans, to the final destination. This is a field where you can talk about different concepts on the axis of language, meaning, ideology, power etc. Although the ultimate goal is to build trust between the two actors; essentially in this process, the physicians’ conception of society and their position within this conception and viewpoints of people who are experiencing a certain story encounters; as a matter of fact, the process that begins with sitting in the patient chair embodies the meaning built during this encounter and bonds it to practice. Therefore, this is a linguistic process; language works as a backbone which included the construction of meaning, speech and power; it places social actors in the same imagination, establishes different subjectivity experiences and fulfills an ideological role. Eventually, the field of power of medicine is also established here. As will be seen in the study, for example, the white apron has a symbolism related to this power that is more than itself. This work will focus on the area of power, in relation to health communication; it will seek to find the linguistic resources of this power, built especially in dental students. Finally, it aims to see health communication within a sociological imagination, such as the democratization of health
