本文旨在说明,在许多国家,家庭对其有病的成员,有着深厚感情的照料责任,亲属不愿离开即使已经住院的家庭成员。然而,大多数医院还未注意到这种情况。1980年末,作者访问了菲律宾的许多医院,给人印象最深的是,病人身边总有家属陪着,有的是照料,有的就是陪伴,而医院工作人员对此却处之泰然。 The purpose of this article is to show that in many countries, families have a deep emotional attachment to their sick members, and relatives are reluctant to leave even family members who are already hospitalized. However, most hospitals have not noticed this situation. At the end of 1980, the author visited many hospitals in the Philippines. What impressed me most was that there were always family members accompanying the patient, some were taking care of them, some were accompanying them, and the staff of the hospital took a rest.
