I read an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) a few weeks ago that intrigued me; it was titled Physician Use of Stigmatizing Language in Patient Medical Records.
Positive language practices included use of positive adjectives (e.g., “this is a pleasant 83-year-old…”), explicit approval of positive patient behaviors (e.g., “hard work following instructions” or “good insight into disease process”), and self-disclosure of positive sentiments towards the patient. If a provider felt positive towards the patient, they might minimize blame by expressing barriers to following a treatment plan in a more favorable light (e.g., “limited short-term memory making it difficult to carry out recommended interventions”). Providers also sometimes included details about the patient’s life or activities, judged through the lens of their own interests or background (e.g., “she has a strong faith, which she feels uplifts and strengthens her.”)
Stigmatizing language should be avoided whenever possible , not just to avoid upsetting the patient, but to change how we think about and treat patients.
