Title of Abstract:
Reliability and validity of Person Centered Medicine Clinical Method for a Person and People
Centered Care: a survey on 144 clinical reports of physicians prepared to apply Person Centered
Clinical Method to adolescents from the Academic Year 1997 to 2002 at the Milan School of
Medicine of the University Ambrosiana.
Person Centered Medicine is the new paradigm of Medical Science, based on the interactionism
subjectivity-biology-environment well corroborated by basic science , interpreted and elaborated
in a teleological way by the person. PCM theory is born through the Person Centered Clinical
Method (PCCM) teaching new objectives and necessary skills in clinical practice from 1997-1998
AY at the University Ambrosiana Milan School of Medicine introducing acceptation, empathy, ,
resilience and vulnerability, person’s diagnosis, clinical finalization, portrait.
To our knowledge, medicine and medical science didn’t ever submit to an investigation the clinical
method reliability and validity . Reliability means reproducibility of its application in N clinical
contexts, its validity means its clinical effectiveness in practice. The investigation introduces in
Research and in Medical Education two indexes: the Clinical Method Reliability Index (CMRI) and
the Clinical Method Validity Index. (CMVI). CMRI and CMVI of the Person Centered Clinical
Method were assessed from 144 clinical written reports by 72 trained Physicians at the third year
in Clinical Adolescentology assessed through the application of the Person Centered Clinical
Method Assessment Protocol (PCCMAP). The Person Centered Clinical Method CMRI resulted to be
= 0,81 and CMVI 0,80. These results confirm the high Reliability and Validity of PCCM .
