Romania’s rocky road from the Ceaușescu dictatorship to fragile democracy - Appendix: Reports of 31 former students of the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca Romania who live today in Romania and abroad Translation: From German into American-English by DeepL

Prof. Dr. Dr. Johannes Kneifel

Beschreibung

Romania's communist system developed into the bloodiest system in Europe after World War II. Ceaușescu ruled the country with state terror. As a result, a civil society could not properly develop in Romania in this period. Ceaușescu's foreign policy showed some distance from the Soviet Union in order to get economic aid from Western countries, but his erratic economic policy drove Romania into a long-lasting crisis. Many Romanians who had the courage to liberate Romania from tyranny and fight for a democratic society died in the hail of bullets from the Securitate and the Military. During the Romanian Revolution, before and after the December 25, 1989, execution of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu, approximately 1300 Romanian patriots were killed. 31 former students of the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, one of the leading universities in Romania, wrote how their grandparents and parents remembered or experienced the brutal communist system. The Romanian students were only willing to write about their own experiences at Romanian high schools and at the University if their names were not published. Some of these students live in Romania today,some of them now live abroad. As they report, even more than 30 years after the Romanian revolution, the Ceaușescu dictatorship remains a taboo subject in large parts of Romanian society.

Seeking the Person at the Center...

James Appleyard, Juan E. Mezzich

It has become clear that reductionist models of health care are unsustainable in both economic and humanistic terms. There is a pressing need, therefore, articulated increasingly by patients themselves, to move away from impersonal, fragmented and decontextualized systems of healthcare towards personalized, integrated and contextualised models of clinical practice within a humanistic framework of care that recognizes the importance of applying science in a manner which respects the patient as a whole person and takes full account of his values, preferences, aspirations stories, cultural context, fears, worries and hopes and which thus recognizes and responds to his emotional, social and spiritual necessities in addition to his physical needs. 
The Educational Program for Person-centered Care aims to achieve this. It is divided into three discrete but interrelated sections. The first section of four papers includes the conceptualization and measurement in person centered medicine and embraces the relevance of the social determinants of health and people centered public health. The second group of articles moves on to the practical aspects of patient-physician communication and the importance of a comprehensive diagnosis. The third section emphasizes the importance of shared decision making with key examples and inter-professional collaboration. The program is a living document and will be revised with the help of those who study and apply a person-centered approach to their own practice.
